I do not understand the impulse to publicly masturbate as a demonstration of anger.
You could say he was… furiously masturbating
“Watch where ya point that thing, buddy!”
(I can’t do strike through) so… Strike thru - - - So much better than so many of the other ways people have been expressing anger. Can we make this a thing?
ETA: see @ClutchLinkey below. It’s all nasty and people should handle their feelings in mature and responsible ways. If you get irrationally mad, go and jerk off in private. This will help you and society at large.
Unconfirmed reports say that he was eating a raw onion and carrying a lantern.
Ok, but was he wearing his mask?
The well worn urban myth of the “mad whacker” needs no introductions.
Touch nothing but yourself, he screamed.
I heard he lives in a tub!
Onan the Barbarian?
Bannon’ s out on bail already?
Colorless green ideas masturbate furiously
This feels like the logical end-point of Trumper/vaccine-/mask- refusers. “I can do whatever I want, however it affects other people!” In a few years the whole country will be over-run by people in red hats defiantly masturbating and defecating in public.
I’d really worry about what he does behind closed doors.
It helped to get him worked up
Chrissakes, how many times do we have to cancel Louis CK before he gets the message and goes away?
Sir, yes. You are certainly free to break the law in this country and you are also definitely free to face the consequences of breaking the law in this country.
Gah, if only he was an outlier.
If you’ve never done it before, next time you’re hanging around with a group of women you feel comfortable discussing this stuff with, ask how many of them have been masturbated at by strangers in a public setting. It’s all too common. Whenever I’ve asked, it’s been a minimum of a third saying, oh, yep.
So gross.
It’s his right, therefor goes to the same conventions as open carry dudes.
Apart from Mrs. F, I don’t think I know anyone we’ll enough to ask them that question. I’ll sadly take your word on it and remind myself that there’s an awful lot of awful stuff that I am privileged not to witness. Ugh. WTF guys?
Yeah, it’s probably easier for me to broach the subject since I’m a woman and have had the experience. I started talking about it more openly when I realized Mr.Linkey had basically no clue of the shit we women go through, constantly, from pre-pubescence ‘til, well, I don’t know when or if it ever ends.
His aunt and a friend were visiting (both in their sixties) and I randomly asked and his aunt was like, “oh, yeah. I was twelve, with a group of girls on the sidewalk and this man came up…”
He was really shocked.
And also, it’s good to be shocked by this. It means you’re the type of man who would never do such a thing. But it’s good to know about it, too. Makes you a better ally.
