And for those of you that are less perceptive the helmet I refer to is a condom and the soldier that wears the helmet is…well if you have to be told that you might as well skip the rest of this post as it will have no meaning to you.
The law signed in October by California Governor Gavin Newsom, one of the few politicians that actually cares about their constituents, makes it a civil offense under state law for someone to remove a condom without their partners consent; a practice known as “stealthing” that turns consensual sex into a form of rape, exposing the victim to possible disease and unwanted pregnancy. I can hear the Neanderthal misogynists stroking their AR-15s and decrying new impediments to sexual assault, or as they call it, Saturday Night.
I say “Bravo California!” I hope other states follow your lead. And to the angry few potential rapists, take heart, no condom is required if you are flying solo.
