(6,498 posts)44. Do uppity women trigger gunhumping MRAs?
And it doesn't look like those who participate will face disciplinary action a spokesperson for UT Austin told Refinery29 that the university supports civil displays of freedom of expression, and that it appears the planned protests qualify as "protected political speech."

Dildos are a particularly apt implement for an anticampus carry demonstration, and not just because they share space with guns as stand-ins for human penises. Texas lawmakers have long been more scared of dildos than they are of gunsthe sale of sex toys was illegal in the state until 2008. (Thensolicitor general Ted Cruz staged a valiant court effort against the right to stimulate ones genitals for non-medical purposes unrelated to procreation, but he lost.) Its still a misdemeanor crime to openly display a dildo or other obscene material in public; the act could carry the consequence of a $500 fine.
But a UT spokesman said the schools administration considers Cocks Not Glocks a demonstration of free speech, not prurient spectacle. Students have a right to express themselves, he told the Austin American-Statesman. This appears to be protected political speech.
Jins Facebook event has attracted a fair number of haters who feel more threatened by protesters with dildos than a college student with a gun. Theres a lot of people openly expressing that they would take joy if we were assaulted or raped with our protest devices, Jin told CityLab. Theyre like, We cant wait to see them get raped by their own toys, because theyd be inviting sexual assault, and then theyll wish they had a gun. The protest just started yesterday, but it sounds like there were already a ton of dicks on the UT campus.

Making false accusations against a latina student facing down domestic terrosism is a Trump move.

I've responded to several of your posts, but they are becoming spammy and appear to be meta baiting.

Off topic. Has nothing to do with my post, which involves a terroristic gunhumping snuff film.
