The bill under discussion in the Ohio legislature is meant to allow intercollegiate athletes to earn compensation from their name, image, or
likeness. Rep. Jena Powell proposed an amendment banning biological males from competing on girls’ sports teams, and Democrats in the House of Representatives lost it, pounding on their desks and shouting. At first, we thought it was the House Speaker’s gavel, but no, it’s soon pretty clear that’s it’s not.

They're acting like spoiled children who don't want to hear something they disagree with.

Great political advert for the Republicans next year.

They don’t want her to speak the truth.

The absolute state of these people. Do they think banging and screaming makes people agree with them?
— Eithrail (@Eithrail) June 30, 2021
No. They realize that their counterpoints have no merit, so they instead try to prevent the argument entirely. See also: “words are violence”.

It's an older man violently smashing his fists & screaming at a young woman for voicing her belief that women need to be protected lmao. This is so wild.

Ridiculous. Where the hell was the speaker and his gavel, or the sergeant at arms to call for order?

People are losing their minds! Whatever happened to respect?
— J Naumann 🇺🇸 (@Cincyman11) June 30, 2021
The problem is people who have such bad ideas with so little logic that they can’t debate civilly — they simply become triggered, think words are violence and then, because they are in a tribe, they dig in. No logic, no thought or civility. Just violence. Very dangerous people.

Absolute lunacy. The fact these psychos have power should chill you to the bone.

They need straight jackets, not a position in our state government.

If she was a Democrat this behavior would be sexist.

Wow, a female can no longer talk about her own rights. So much is wrong with this clip and so many people support this? America turned into a cult so quickly!

These people are literally insane.

Is this the "toxic masculinity" I've been hearing so much about?

It looks like an attempted insurrection or coup. Will the FBI be arresting all the rioters?

And just like that, the conservatives lead the pack in feminist protectionism.
