_AHEM_ !!

Such gender disparity is intolerable; the statutes, in their current form, impose a standard for regulating public arousal for men while failing to address public arousal on the part of women.

Infofar as this is patently unfair, it shall herewith be made a punishable act for women to become aroused in public either.

To aid in proper and equitable enforcement, I shall personally volunteer to check for illicit public moistenings.
