50RZ8, The Pirates Yes, Rape Culture No Bill
WHEREAS Talossa has a fine tradition of supporting private nautical adventuring, arrrgh mateys and all that; and
WHEREAS the Second Covenant of Rights and Freedoms states that "Separate consideration on the basis of sex may only exist in cases of propriety."; and
WHEREAS community standards on acceptable sexual conduct among Private Adventurers have changed somewhat since the classical texts of pirate popular culture were produced; and
WHEREAS the Kingdom of Talossa has no interest in condoning any possible rapey activities by our Private Adventurers, no matter how fiery-tempered or black-haired the objects of such activities may be; and
WHEREAS certain nudge-nudge-wink-wink allusions to such activities may be hilarious in boy's club locker-room talk, but have no place in our law:
BE IT ENACTED by the King, Cosâ and Senäts in Ziu assembled that Title I, Section 1.1.16.5, shall be amended by the deletion of its second sentence, as follows:
Each Private Adventurer shall take care to instruct himself and his crew in correct professional deportment, making didactic use of such authoritative texts and films as Treasure Island, Captain Blood, Swashbuckler, and Peter Pan. In particular, should any Private Adventurer, in the course of his duties, encounter the fiery-tempered black-haired daughter of the Spanish governor, He Will Know What To Do.
