NC Stupid – A Woman’s Breasts are for Men.
OK fellow Kossacks, what is wrong with this bill?
With the Republicans in charge of the state government we are off to the races to get “Big Government” off our backs, but not women’s areola!
NC House Bill 34 “clarifies” what is female indecent exposure. The bill states that female "private parts" means external organs of sex and of excretion, including the nipple, or any portion of the areola, of the human female breast.
Of course the “excretion” part gets us men off the hook. That lets us take our shirts off on a hot day in humid North Carolina.
Women do have options said the chair of the committee: “… using pasties or other nipple coverings would protect those women against prosecution. ‘They’d be good to go.’”
Rep. Tim Moore, R-Cleveland, quipped, “You know what they say – duct tape fixes everything.”
There are two exceptions both having to do with the usefulness of women’s breasts to men and society.
You probably guessed about the breastfeeding exception. The other one? Of course there is an exception for women who are paid to perform in strip joints. Local governments may exempt “sexually oriented business” from the law.
This week the bill passed the house and has moved on to the senate.
Oh, and one more small fact. The party “that wants to protect the constitution” was motivated to write the law in response to a protest that would be protected by the first amendment--if they were thinking with their brains: The bill was prompted by annual topless protest and women's rally in Asheville, NC.
