    I vote they push a law that calls people who support that kinda language little boys because clearly they ain’t real men. They’re nothing but little boys masquerading as men.

    The section in question is specifically about pregnancy via artificial insemination and consent around it, and is not related to other pregnancies.

    I feel like “pregnant” cuts to the chase and also avoids idiotic culture war shit from the new right.

    I’m becoming more sure all the time –

    The stereotypical “incel” is a broader personality type, the negative qualities of which are not caused by, but merely to some noteworthy degree associated with, involuntary celibacy.

    Involuntary celibacy does not, in and of itself cause “incel” attitudes and behavior, nor does sexual experience preclude them. It’s possible for someone to be involuntarily celibate and not be an “incel” and it’s possible for someone to have sexual experience and be an “incel” anyway.

    And in fact, a significant part of the would-be oligarchs who are currently carrying out a coup d’etat and their assorted cronies and supporters are, by any standard other than the fact that they can (at least some time) get laid, “incels.” That includes but is by no means limited to Trump, Musk, Vance, Hegseth, Rubio, DeSantis, Abbott…, and this guy.

      I’m not sure what your rant has to do with the governor trying to make laws in his state more inclusive. There are people who do not identify as female that can become pregnant, so there has been movement away from using “mother” towards using the term “pregnant person” (and apparently “inseminated person” in this case).

        Huh.

        I has nothing at all to do with that.

        In our current environment, I took “inseminated person” to be sort of a notably formal synonym for “cumdumps,” or maybe less crudely, “sperm receptacles.”

        It seems to deny the individual so labeled of any human qualities aside from the fact that they’ve been, in conservative christian terms, blessed with a man’s seed. The person described doesn’t even seem to the important person in the description. It’s more as if they’re a mere receptacle, and the person who did the inseminating is the one who actually matters.

        Self-evidently I should’ve read the article, but honestly it never struck me as even a possibility that such a dehumanizing phrase would actually be promoted as a progressive thing.

          Yeah this is weird and creepy. What the hell was wrong with just making it a gender neutral “pregnant person?”

          Instead he made it about the fucking semen.

          Democrats just love fucking losing, fash media is going to have a field day.

            Yeah - I don’t get it.

            I wrote that whole pointed digression because it’s a thing that’s been shaping itself in my mind lately, and that headline reminded me of it. “Inseminated person” sounds like something out of The Handmaid’s Tale, so I just immediately assumed that it was an example of the incels-in-office in action. That just sounds like such an incel thing to do - to reduce someone’s identity to essentially “one who has been inseminated,” as if having had semen pumped into you is the important part and everything else is just meaningless details.

            I still can’t sort out how that’s supposed to in any way be progressive.

            The bill seems to do that, “Inseminated Person” is just one term that was cherry-picked to cause outrage by the people who only read headlines.

                Including yourself, because he wasn’t “making it about fucking semen”. That particular phrasing was referring to artificial insemination.

                  Lol

                  Why don’t you break down that word for a little bit, bud? Then ask yourself what fertilizes ovum, and where it’s coming from.
