written and sponsored by men, I assume...



Those self-righteous pricks who get themselves elected to the state house then put this kind of crap out have no clue!

Sadly it's actually co-sponsored by three of the ladies in the Senate:

Women. The female equivalent of "men" is "women." Not "ladies."

Shudder.

Completely aside for politically correct speech, my raising taught me that women who act this way are not ladies, fwiw.

Manufactured outrage to score political points. How pedestrian.

Another one of those "job creator" bills that the property rights party so loves. What a bunch of grade A losers.
By the time this group of redneck legislators finish, Tennessee will be back in the 1800's. So sad that the party of angry, white males has to make life hard on everyone else.

Based on analysis of the following data

compiling sales data of romance novels and relationship books (Kindle books and print books); romantic comedy movies (digital and DVDs); a collection of romantic music from Dean Martin, Barry White, Luther Vandross, Maxwell and Miguel (CDs and MP3s); along with sexual wellness products, from Jan. 1, 2012-Jan. 23, 2013 on a per capita basis in cities with over 100,000 residents.

There are some funny comments in response to the ranking.

Such as: "Um...they're basing it on how many romance novels and schmaltzy movies and CDs are purchased from Amazon? That doesn't sound like the country's most romantic city. It sounds like the country's most desperately needy city."

"Yeah, sort of like measuring a city's "Peace Quotient" by the number of legally owned firearms."
