    California's latest stupid law.
    If a man texts a woman an unwanted picture of his private parts, the law says she can sue him for up to $30,000.

    The law says she will receive at least $1,500.

    California allows lawsuits against 'cyber flashers' (kcra.com), September 24, 2022
    CA lawmakers pass law cracking down on unsolicited nude photos, The Sacramento Bee

    Progressives. Just looking for excuses to get more money. Paying women for the sexual harassment against them.

    I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if some women try to trick a man into sending her pictures so she get the courts to make him pay her money.

    Just curious about something based on your comments about 'progressives' and evil women 'tricking' poor innicent men into sending them pictures:

    1) did you failt to read the article you posted;

    OR

    2) are you just assuming that your audience won't bother reading it when they rush to agree with you & give you likes?

    No third option.

    That sounds rather sexist if it doesn't go both ways

    For that law to be effective California would have to define what a woman is as different from a man.

    Lol

    The wording of the law theoretically does not discriminate by gender, but anyone with the slightest bit of brainpower and common sense knows there are going to end up being some pretty big gender double standards when it comes to implementing into practice a law like this.
    Such a law is clearly designed for women to use against men.

    What a law says and what a law will actually end up doing are not always exactly the same thing.

    We know most men are not going to want to go to police if a woman sends him nude pictures of herself. Even if those pictures are unwelcome and the woman is disgusting. And if a man tries claiming he suffered severe "emotional duress" from that, most people are just going to laugh at him.

    In our society it is the female gender who feels intimidated and uncomfortable and harassed. It is the female who needs to be protected from unwelcome sexual advances.
    It's totally obvious such a law is never going to truly get equally enforced both ways, regardless of gender.

    It seems many are so dumb that they think if someone injects their own opinion into a discussion about a story in an article they are "misrepresenting" the news article.
    Seems to say more about YOU, that you have trouble differentiating between just plain facts and opinion-interpretation. The two just blur together for you and you can't recognize the difference.

    Now, maybe you'd like to tell us, what makes you think this law isn't exactly as I represented it?

    You know what I think? This isn't so much an ideological battle as it is a battle between common sense logic and stupid.

    Although of course that stupid is driven by ideologically influenced emotion.

    What if men were enabled to be able to sue women for the type of things women do to men? Like if she lies about the paternity of a child, or gossips about him, or lies in court to take financial advantage of him. Or pass a law that if one person kicks another person between the legs, they will have to pay them money.

    Isn't it illegal to flash someone?

    How is this different?

    You probably shouldn't be sending pictures of your junk to anyone.

    I think you may be confusing something being illegal with being able to sue a person for money.

    Just because something done to a woman is wrong and illegal does not mean she should be able to get money for it.

    I find it ironic that conservatives are the ones who believe something like this more wrong (viewing public sexual indecency as being much more serious than progressives do), yet this law allowing women to sue for money was pushed largely by progressives.

    It kind of demonstrates that the real impetus behind this new law was not really so much just that the offense in question is bad.

    Regardless, no one should be sending pictures of their junk to anyone.

    After reading the article, i'm disappointed that it's not going to be a criminal offense.

    That was not the point.
    If you want to make it a criminal offense or not, that is a separate issue from whether lawsuits should be allowed in civil court for money.

    There is no such thing as cyber flashing. If you're on a hookup app you're looking to either get penises shoved into you or shove your penis into something else and if the sight of them bothers you you shouldn't be on such a website.

    The whole point of being there is to see as many penises as you can.

    Well the reality is if it goes the other way and a woman sends you nudes and you publish them they also come after you.

    It's laws protecting stupid behavior.

    It would be difficult to prove. And it seems like a waste of taxpayer money to prosecute someone showing their genitals on a website that's all about smashing genitals together.

    This law is mainly, almost entirely, going to be USED by women against men.

    You'd have to be dumb not to realize that.

    What the law literally says and what the law will do are not exactly the same thing.

    Women rarely ever send these sort of pictures to men. Men rarely ever feel the need to go to police if they receive one of these pictures, even if the picture is unwelcome and the woman is disgusting.
    Even if a case does go to court, society is much more likely to view a female as a victim who needs to be protected from sexual harassment than if the victim were a man. Combined with the fact that display of male genitalia is almost universally seen as more offensive and obscene than female genitalia.

    The point is, despite the law theoretically being gender neutral, there will be some clear double standards when it comes to actually implementing this law.

    If people don't ask or agree that you should send a penis pic then don't do it.

    See, that was really easy!

    Even Texas understands this. If the OP wasn't so obsessed with 'progressives' he might have noticed that conservative Texas not only allows you to be sued for doing it, they will throw you in jail.

    I agree but there should be no government involvement in this.
    it'll be difficult to prove.

    Thinking about this more how you would prove this reminded me of this scene out of Porky's

    You miss the point.

    You're capable of seeing the difference between something being illegal versus an alleged victim trying to seek financial compensation for the wrong, yes?

    Lawsuits for money are not the same thing as criminal charges.

    Here are a list of just a few differences: Lawsuits can be initiated by anyone. Criminal charges can only be initiated by a prosecuting district attorney appointed by government. Lawsuits in civil court only require "preponderance of the evidence". Criminal charges in criminal court have a higher required burden of evidence set.
    When the victim knows they can get money, there can sometimes be a much higher incentive for the victim to lie. In a criminal case, the victim is less likely to benefit if the only thing that can happen is the accused goes to prison.

    We need to put an end to these stupid lawsuits and cut women off from the money.
    Being the victim of some sexual misdeed doesn't mean you deserve money.

    This is ALL about feminism, and feminism viewing men as the ones who have the money and power, and coming up with any excuse that can be thought up to dig into a man's pockets if he does anything wrong to siphon off some of that money to women.

    So we should get rid of laws that men break more often than women?

    Yes, yes, yes, we all know your opinion of women and of any law that compels men to behave like civilized creatures. You repeatedly start threads to remind us that women should just put up with the most vile male behaviour....because.

    Here is a wild idea - don't send pictures of your penis to anyone unless there is an explicit agreement to do so. Easy! If a woman asks you to or agrees to you doing it then make sure there is some sort of evidence she did. Easy! If you are too stupid or too perverted to work this out then I don't feel sorry for you. This isn't something you can do by accident.

    An ideological position that has nothing to do with how the world works. Sadly some people need the threat of potential sanction to compel them to behave in a civilized way.

    That will be Texas' problem.

    if you're complaining about seeing pictures you don't like it's because you're steeped in first world problems.

    Unless you're a minor or the picture depicts abuse of a minor showing someone a picture no matter how bad the taste shouldn't rise to criminal.

    Have all the other crimes been solved that we need to focus on poor little pathetic women that can't handle seeing a little picture.

    If you wonder why there's not equality it's this cry baby BS.



    Yeah it's a problem hence the law is stupid.

    Last time I checked America & my nation were both 'first world' (though if the MAGA mob had its way on Jan 6 maybe not), so 'first world problems are what we deal with.

    As for the rest, you only had to write that sentence for it to be clear what this is about - your issues with women.

    Once again, the way to avoid sanction is to not send penis pictures to people unless they want you to. Very simple. If men can't behave like adults it shouldn't be up to women to carry the burden of that behaviour.
