Well, the ladies aren't going to end up felons for cooperating. They are cooperating to get a pass from it. That is the idea. At the end, the ladies get out with a pass...and move on to the next gig. The men get hung with a felony rap. This is so radically unfair. I cant believe we are doing shit like this in this country.
Actually, thinking about this more, while it is completely unfair and unreasonable to felonize someone when there is no victim, there is a bigger agenda. What cant felons do? Cant vote. Cant own a gun. This law will begin marginalizing a segment of society they want silenced anyway. Gun toting rednecks who like their titty bars and hoes. Now, they have no say and no gun either.
I would expect the women the TX legislature to be in favor of something so blatantly gender biased, but I cant believe the men in the legislature were stupid enough to vote for it. I read it was unanimous. But I have had MO congressmen tell me they voted YES on similar sex-related legislation when they really disagreed with it. They said they would be lambasted for taking exception. They actually admitted that to me. I offered to buy them a copy of JFK's
Profiles in Courage for an enlightening read.
