What is the point of banning sex toys? What is it the right is trying to gain?
Seems like
according to this DU thread and an article in
this SC newspaper: "The South Carolina bill, proposed by Republican Rep. Ralph Davenport, would make it a felony to sell devices used primarily for sexual stimulation and allow law enforcement to seize sex toys from raided businesses."
Other states that ban the sell of sex toys include Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Texas, said Mark Lopez, an attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union.
This begs the question: What is the issue, according to right wing thinking, that makes sex toys "dangerous" enough to be outlawed?
How is a sex toy elevated to relevance enough to make it a
felony danger that requires criminalizing the sale of these items?
If these products are used by consenting adults, solitary adults, or partnered/married adults alone in their homes, why the felony ban on sales? What is the harm?
What is the inherent "danger" that right wingers are afraid of/worked up over that requires a jail sentence or the involvement of the FBI, the courts, and prisons?
In other words, what is the
REAL reason for this movement?
Really, I'm curious as to the RW reasoning here. Anyone have any insight into this?
