NC lawmaker: Women should ‘duct tape’ nipples to stay out of jail

[Playinghardball]

Real men use Duct tape and I guess women also...



North Carolina Republican state Rep. Tim Moore says that women can protect themselves from a new law that makes baring female breasts illegal by simply applying duct tape to their nipples.

On Wednesday, the state House Judiciary Committee C approved House Bill 34, which makes it a Class H felony to purposefully expose “private parts” for the “purpose of arousing or gratifying sexual desire.”

The bill expands the state’s definition of “private parts” to include a woman’s “nipple, or any portion of the areola.”

Republican state Rep. Rayne Brown told lawmakers that she was co-sponsoring the bill because activists had held a topless women’s rights rally in Asheville last summer, where as many as a dozen women bared their breasts (NSFW video here).

Although Brown’s district is 100 miles from Asheville, she felt it was important to act before women tried to assert their rights again by going topless at another rally.

“You’ve got local governments passing ordinances to protect themselves from just this thing,” she explained. “These folks don’t need to be doing that, but they do it because they’re not sure about the law.”

Under the proposed law, women could spend up to six months in jail for a first offense. “Incidental” nipple exposure by breastfeeding mothers would be exempt from the law.

Democratic state Rep. Annie Mobley said she worried that women wearing “questionable fashions” could be prosecuted under the new rules.

But Committee Chairwoman Rep. Sarah Steven (R) suggested that women could use pasties or nipple coverings just to be safe.


“They’d be good to go” with nipple coverings, Stevens said.

“You know what they say, duct tape fixes everything,” Republican state Rep. Tim Moore agreed.

1. And it wouldn't apply to men?

Are they not capable of exposing nipples for deliberate sexual arousal?


rocktivity

[arely staircase]

43. no. it is worse for men

state law requires male "junk" (actual wording of the statute) must be completely wrapped in duct tape whether clothed or not. little known fact. pube shaving is almost a survival skill.

[Blue_Tires]

2. ummm...yeah....is she single?

[Fantastic Anarchist]

34. Probably not for long now. :D

[riverbendviewgal]

3. I sent my son this

he is a firm believer of the wonderful uses of duct tape..


are North Carolina lawmakers aware how they sound to people in other countries....

Whacky and ignorant...

[RKP5637]

9. North Carolina lawmakers are far too ignorant to have any concept of

what assholes they are.

[riverbendviewgal]

10. They may be like my NJ RW brother

proud of not knowing anything about another country...


He is a nutwit.

[RKP5637]

17. NJ seems to have a lot of nutwits anymore from what I've read. I've run across that

in the Midwest ... people proud of the fact they've never been to the east or west coasts, like that is where all of the heathens live or some nuttiness like that.

Then, we have the ones that spout off wacky concepts like they are world travelers and know everything ... and you come to find they've never been outside of the US, not even to Canada or Mexico.

And the Fox News viewers who tell one ... you should never listen to any news broadcast outside of the US because it's ALL propaganda against US. All of this is always a WTF to me.

It's no wonder some in the US are so damn backward, ignorant and disgusting.

[riverbendviewgal]

19. Every place where I traveled by car to the USA had Fox News on their public TVs

It was very creepy

I do remember an enjoyable oil change visit in North Carolina. passing around my 50 dollar Canadian bill that also had brille on it for blind people...

The other people were amazed....I also mentioned my wonderful health care..They were amazed again...

They are always awed by my personal experiences with a son and husband going through cancer care and not one cent billed to us

[RKP5637]

25. Much of America IMO is quite backward. I have to drive cross country sometimes and

I'm frankly a bit shocked when off the beaten path.

[CTyankee]

37. I don't even like to travel here unless it is into NYC or MA or flying nonstop to LA to visit my

grandson. If that makes me an elitist, then so be it...I wish it were different but these RWingers ruin it for everybody wherever they are in control...

[RKP5637]

42. I've stopped to get gas, food, pit stops, etc. and I've been freaked out by the

people around me. I'm friendly, get along with about anyone unless they are real wackos, and I've been a bit concerned. There are definitely some strange people.

Over the years I've traveled a lot in the US, but over the past decade, or a bit more, it's become pretty strange in some areas IMO. I don't even travel much at night anymore in some areas. The RWingers have really ruined much of this country ... and what really irks me is they talk about less gov., less this, less that and really, they are just the opposite. Many are control freaks, supremacists, seeking power, control and authoritarianism over everyone, at any cost, and many would like to set themselves up as dictators touting their weapons all over the place.

And where RW government has ensued, they are more invasive than anyone. Frankly, I find it all very creepy. Some of America I've written off as places I never want to visit again. I've been in almost every state and worked in many in the better times. Some places have drastically changed IMO, and not for the better.

[CTyankee]

47. There's a reason it's called "flyover country." This kind of stuff just confirms it in so many minds

Sad, it is...

[nadinbrzezinski]

49. What about oter states?

[FLyellowdog]

4. “purpose of arousing or gratifying sexual desire"....

I'm not sure that's what the bare breasted women in Asheville were trying to do. But I could be wrong.

[Fresh_Start]

33. I'm thinking that men showing their muscular arms and chests are also trying to arouse sexual desire

all men with visible muscles should be required to fully duct-tape all their exposed muscles.

[surrealAmerican]

35. Exactly. It was a protest ...

... not an orgy. If she can't figure out the difference, that should be her problem, not the protesters' problem.

[FLyellowdog]

57. Should be her problem

but it's NC....almost as bad as FL when it comes to Rights of the people. Stupidity runs rampant.

[DollarBillHines]

5. Youch!

Let him try it.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

6. It would appear that NC is in competition with several other states

to see which can pass the most absurdly anti-women laws.

[riverbendviewgal]

14. Just a reminder today is 1 billion rising

http://onebillionrising.org/

Learn more about why we rise

[IcyPeas]

18. I heard Jane Fonda on CNN last night

talking about this. Other than that and your post here, I have heard NOTHING about this. Wasn't promoted very well.

[riverbendviewgal]

20. How unfortunate.

You find a lot of it on Facebook..

It is very big in the cities. all around the world .

[IcyPeas]

26. ah, I don't have facebook, maybe that is why.

I guess I miss out on some stuff.

[riverbendviewgal]

30. well a google one near you

and also check out the main site.
http://onebillionrising.org/

[Sissyk]

60. Yeah

My state (TN) is pretty bad, also. Unfortunately, there's just as many women politicians as there are male politicians that keep bringing all this crap up.

[yardwork]

62. That's correct. We've been invaded by the Koch Brothers.

The Republican representative who introduced this bill is a member of ALEC, as are all the other Republicans elected in recent years. The state is now occupied by the Koch Brothers and they keep saying that they want our state to be more like its neighbors, South Carolina and Tennessee.

Many idiots in NC voted for these Republicans because they believed the ads about jobs.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

66. Sad, really, really sad.

[Warren DeMontague]

7. Yawn. They should just come to Portland.

and bring their bikes.

[A HERETIC I AM]

27. "HEY! Do you know your pants are gone and your dick and your balls are hanging out?"

"Know it? I WROTE IT!"





Sorry. punchline to a joke your pic reminded me of.

[Warren DeMontague]

54. Heh Heh.

Well Played.

[darkangel218]

38. all these people are nekkid?

[RKP5637]

8. And republicans should not bare their assholes AKA mouths in public without similar penalties! n/t

[Yavin4]

11. Do These Republican State Legislators Have Nothing Better To Vote On?

Their states must be heaven on earth.

[kestrel91316]

12. Go duct tape your cock AND balls, you jackasses.

[Sissyk]

59. Unfortunately,

3 of the 4 politicians quoted in the above article are female.

[Laurian]

13. WTF? They should abolish their legislature if all they

can do is make simpleminded laws like ths..... Do they not have some real problems to address? What a colossal waste of time.

[warrprayer]

15. Dear God n/t

[TheKentuckian]

16. We really need to bring back tar and feathering

[KansDem]

31. But only to cover the nipples!

________

[Deep13]

21. Your tax dollars ast work, folks. nt

[NickB79]

22. So, does this bill make strip clubs illegal in NC now?

That might piss off some of their RW constituents.

[aquart]

23. What's wrong with pasties?

[ret5hd]

28. What's right with them???

[Dirty Socialist]

55. The aren't redneck enough

[L0oniX]

63. Nothing. They taste good. n/t

[A HERETIC I AM]

24. .....

[RKP5637]

29. Hmmmm ... I wonder how big a bulge in a man's pants is acceptable in NC. Will it all need to

be duct taped too ??? Will holes in the bottom of pockets still be allowed?

[Fantastic Anarchist]

32. She packs a hell of a one-two punch!

[baldguy]

36. So, if a man gets "aroused" by looking at a woman - it's HER fault?

Look at those ankles! Hubba! Hubba!



Off to jail with you, ladies!

[darkangel218]

40. Thats exactly what we would be forced to wear if it was up to the extreme RW teaparty lawmakers.

[Arugula Latte]

39. All the problems in the world and these idiots are worrying about nips and such?

I mean, gawd, who cares?

Stupid effing Pilgrims and assorted religious nuts who founded this country. Too bad they had to come over.

[A HERETIC I AM]

41. They didn't "come over".....

They got kicked out!

Just ended up here.

[Arugula Latte]

46. Greg Proops on the subject:

My feeling is, the Pilgrims were asked to leave England. England was never funner than when the Pilgrims split, right? The people of England got a little tired of these dour, right-winged conservative psycho-Christians wearing all black, bumming people out, confusing everyone by wearing buckles on... their heads. "Is that tight enough for you, Cotton?" "Yea, verily.”

[RC]

44. Just another way to keep women down.

It's just skin, so why is it a sin?
Why should any of us be ashamed of our natural body parts, anyway?
What is the difference between a mans nipple and a woman's nipple? What about the men that have larger breasts than some women do? Do they need duct tape too?

[Octafish]

45. Wonder what that lawmaker's Google cache holds?

The guy's gotts to do research, right?

"Good to go."

[RKP5637]

48. +++ 1,000 +++ It sure would be interesting what Anonymous or someone would turn up! n/t

[aikoaiko]

50. I think somebody just revealed himself to be a Wendy O Williams fan.

[IMG][/IMG]

[Tree-Hugger]

51. What year is it?

2013? And we're passing laws against boobies. Really? Anyone know of legitimate cases where nipple sightings have caused injury or death?

Can't anything arouse sexual desire? There are people who have sneaker fetishes. Should we ban those, too?

[Lex]

53. FEAR the nipples!

Avert your eyes for they will hyp-mo-tize you.

[quaker bill]

56. I do regulatory compliance for a living

this sort of rule could make my job far more interesting.

[Apophis]

58. Wow.

I thought it was horrible to throw recreational pot users in prison. Now they want to throw women in prison for showing nipples?

The American Taliban.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

61. That's a high priority for this legislator?

Maybe this loser can't control his sexual urges.

[Starboard Tack]

64. Nipples are more dangerous than guns in NC

[Solly Mack]

65. "she felt it was important to act before women tried to assert their rights again"

Damn
