University of Texas students plan to carry sex toys to class to protest new campus-carry laws

University of Texas students plan to carry sex toys to class to protest new campus-carry laws

Pro-gun students believe the University of Texas-Austin is violating their rights by letting professors keep guns out of their offices.

They are pursuing relief with the Texas attorney general, who has previously said schools can’t ban guns in dorms under the state’s new campus-carry law.

Anti-gun students believe their personal safety is at risk if campus carry is enforced.

They are pursuing relief with sex toys.

I have to applaud the students for actually doing something more than wringing their hands and posting internet screeds about getting the vapors at the sight of a gun.

It will take actual work to

If I carried a sex toy into my office the people in HR would be writing me a counseling memo on sexual harassment.

Innuendo.

to be in effect, just in reverse. Rather than lusting for the object (objectophilia) a loathing occurs (objectophobia).

The relationship still includes the belief that objects have souls, intelligence, and feelings, and are able to communicate.

The longer the barrel and the bigger the caliber, the more of a man you are.. or think you are.

It even extends to cars. Normal people drive normal cars. It's the limp dicks that can't see themselves in anything but a 500 hp sports car or jacked up 4x4 pickup.

Can never have too many "giant plastic d---s" strapped to your backpacks! If that's what you're into.

Of course I mean for sexual harassment.
I don't think you could get into any legal trouble for carrying a concealed penis (real or replica)...
...at least I hope not.

So frightened of law abiding gun owners, that anxiety has set in so they have "performance" issues.

I wonder if the devices are needed by all gun fearing types?

When they label pro-gun persons "compensating" and the like, they're projecting.

The sex toys seem a confirmation.
