Gross Tennessee Legislator Tells State Senate About That Time He Got Spayed



A Tennessee state senator decided that right on the Senate floor was the best place to describe medical procedures on his own genitals. Before you think he’s super gross, just know that he did it so he could talk down to some lady person, so it’s cool.

You remember State Senator Gardenhire of the great state of Tennessee, right? Of course you do. He was the super nice guy who called sidewalk chalkers literal Nazis and then called a constituent an asshole right to his face. Moran, you’re supposed to wait until you’re back at your office to show contempt for your voters. See, Gardenhire has some dumb ideas about healthcare — namely that poor people should never get it, ever — and this commitment to the “fuck you I got mine” wing of his party has made him none-too-popular with his constituents, hence all the super Nazi chalk assault. Gardenhire is such an expert on all things health that it might surprise you to know he also has some dumb ideas about abortion. No, it’s true! And those dumb ideas involve mansplaining to a woman how he scheduled his own vasectomy. Uh, thanks?

In the course of discussing Tennessee’s newest abortion bill, State Senator Sara Kyle brought up the point that the newly introduced 48-hour waiting period for an abortion was rather strange considering that there wasn’t a similar law for men seeking vasectomies.
“What I don’t understand is the discrimination,” Kyle said, according to the digital recording of the meeting. “You’re putting all this burden on the woman. Why don’t we put these same standards on the man who wants the vasectomy?”
“So,” Kyle told an attorney for Tennessee Right to Life, “I’m just asking that what’s good for the goose could be good for the gander.”

Careful now. You’re asking the pro-lifers to see women as people, and they’re just not ready for that yet. They barely even see women as geese yet.

Senator Gardenhire, presumably having fallen asleep during Kyle’s speech and only waking up upon hearing his safe word “vasectomy,” decided that he needed to correct her blatant misinformation about dudes getting their tubes snipped by sharing the minutia of how he scheduled both of his own vasectomies.
“I wanted to kind of walk Sen. Kyle through what a vasectomy is and what you have to go through to have one, having personal experience in that field,” Gardenhire said.

Stop.

“I also had one reversed. I want to promise you that when you start talking to a doctor about them whacking on you down there you want to wait a while and think about it.”

No, stop. Stop right now, gross old man.
