Washington Needs a Commission on Boys and Men

Comic Relief: Lawmakers Laugh at Potty Humor from Rep. Andrew Barkis [Video]

While commenting on a bill that would increase truck drivers’ access to bathrooms, Representative Andrew Barkis (R) scored some laughs from Representative Tina Orwall (D) and other members of the House of Representatives. This was truly a bipartisan act…of giggling at potty humor!

What does this have to do with advancing empathy and equality for boys and men? Not much, other than acknowledging and appreciating men’s humorous contributions to public discourse.
