Topic | Louisiana to Allow Surgical Castration as Punishment for Child Molesters |
WesternMedia 06/22/24 8:29:53 PM #11 | Humble_Novice posted...
The bill received overwhelming approval in both of the GOP-dominated chambers. State Sen. Regina Barrow, a Democrat, authored the legislation, but votes against it mainly came from Democrats. Not going to comment on the law itself but this does sound like Louisiana lol. Humble_Novice posted... A handful of states, including Louisiana, California, Florida and Texas, have laws allowing for chemical castration for those guilty of certain sex crimes. In some of those states, offenders can opt for the surgical procedure if they prefer. But no other state allows judges to impose surgical castration outright, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. I'm slightly more surprised at this. What a group of states for California to be a part of. But I suppose that's not that surprising for Cali too. --- Cherish me |

The law would go into effect July 1, 2026. The litigation part is funny though. That's like trying to sue video game companies for distracting kids. iirc they tried that once. --- Cherish me |

Australias new mens behavior change secretary says the job wont be easy A state in Australia has taken a new step aimed at tackling domestic violence appointing the countrys first official responsible for Mens Behavior Change as the prime minister has warned violence against women is a national crisis. The new role called the parliamentary secretary for mens behavior change has already generated some controversy with the politician tasked with the job acknowledging it is not easy work even as the move has been welcomed by some campaign groups. Victoria Premier Jacinta Allan announced the role this week, appointing state lawmaker Tim Richardson to what she called the first position of its kind in Australia. The role will focus largely on the influence the internet and social media have on boys and mens attitudes towards women and building respectful relationships, Allan, from the center-left Labor Party, said. The role aims to make the state a safer place for women and children and work to end the tragedy of deaths of Victorian women at the hands of men, Richardson said in a post on X, adding, The time to act on mens violence against women is now and it starts with us men and boys. This is not easy work, but it is important, and we cant afford not to address it and waste a moment, he wrote. In the first five months of 2024, there were 31 female deaths in Australia that were allegedly caused by acts of gender-based violence, according to the Counting Dead Women project, a grass-roots campaign that researches and records gender-based killings of women in Australia. In Australia, 1 in 4 women have experienced violence by an intimate partner or family member, according to government statistics, a statistic broadly comparable to the United States, where 1 in 4 women experience intimate partner violence or stalking, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. A World Health Organization report in 2021 found that 1 in 3 women will be subjected to physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner or sexual violence from a non-partner in their lifetime. There has been growing awareness and discussion of violence against women in Australia in recent months, after a number of high-profile killings. In April, a man killed six people in a shopping center in a Sydney suburb, including five women. Police said while they were investigating the incident, footage of the attack made it obvious to detectives that the attacker had been targeting women. The same month, Australia witnessed a string of killings of three women, allegedly killed by partners or people they know, prompting tens of thousands of Australians to protest the violence. A woman has been killed every four days so far this year, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on X last month. Albanese has since described the levels of violence against women in the country as a national crisis. A 2023-2024 report released by the Australian Institute of Criminology in April showed a 28 percent increase in intimate partner homicides committed against women, compared to 2022-2023. Australia is finally having a sustained conversation about violence against women and what we can do about it, Australian law experts Rosalind Dixon and Emma Buxton-Namisnyk wrote on the Conversation, a site that publishes articles written by academics, in April. However, men and boys are often raised with expectations that women will meet their needs and are as a result conditioned to think it is okay to be angry with women who say no to these expectations. If this deep-seated issue is unaddressed, they continued, there is unlikely to be a fundamental change in patterns of sexual and family violence. The Victorian state governments decision to establish a parliamentary secretary for mens behavior change was welcomed by mens engagement group No to Violence, and family violence prevention group Respect Victoria, whose acting CEO told state broadcaster SBS it was crucial to involve men in efforts to fight gendered violence. However, some Australians took to social media to criticize the move, while radio host Ben Fordham dubbed the decision collective punishment that is treating all men like an enemy. The Victorian Parliament already has a minister for women, and now its got a parliamentary secretary for mens behavior, he said on his Wednesday show but, he added, there is no Australian minister for men to address issues like male suicide. Meanwhile, Victorian Senator Jane Hume from the opposition Liberal Party cast doubt on the decisions capacity to effect real change, telling Sky News the role sounded like a little bit of window dressing around a really important issue, that involves genuine cultural change. Richardson, the newly appointed official, acknowledged on social media that there had been some pretty hectic reactions to his role. However, he told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation if thats peoples reactions just from the title of his new position then the focus isnt in the right area either. Everyone has a shared purpose to change gender-based behavior that targets women, he said. If it starts that conversation thats great ... we want to explain why its so important. --- Cherish me |

It's not the porn itself that conservatives hate. Conservative men LOVE porn. What they don't like is the modern porn industry where women don't have to crawl to a production studio and hand over 80% of their income. They can create an OF, market themselves on Reddit and make pretty good money while working towards their life time goals.Oh good point! --- Cherish me |

I swear the stuff people tend to really shit all over on this site is always stuff I like. I mean I know gamefaqs tends to legitimately hate on basically everything. I have never seen a group of gamers dislike so many games but the amount of shows and movies people also dislike all the time is like damn. Yeah, I only watched a few episodes but I am surprised at all the vitriol for it here. It used to be relatively mainstream, it was Charlie Sheen's biggest role at the time. It was trashy but seemed to be on the same level as stuff like American Dad which gets relatively more positive reception here. Speaking of HIMYM and NPH I just remembered Gone Girl existed. That was pretty huge that year. --- Cherish me |
