Stupid State Laws - Montana

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Montana

"It is illegal for married women to go fishing alone on Sundays, and illegal for unmarried women to fish alone at all."

Okay, this one is a doosey.  First off, how many women do you know that even enjoy fishing enough to want to do it on their own?  And if a woman does love fishing that much, I still don't see a guy taking her along with him because as all stereotypes point out, women never shut up and that defeats the point of going fishing.  So if anything, wouldn't it be more advantageous for the woman to go fishing by herself instead of some poor schlub having to listen to her complain about her co-workers the whole time?  I know I sound sexist here, but sadly stereotypes were created for a reason.  But maybe this law was created for another reason.  It was put in place so that multiple women would go fishing with each other and allow their husbands or boyfriends a couple moments of peace at home.  If that's the case, then that is some genius thinking on the part of the state of Montana.  And if not, then that state just made one of the most pointless laws in existence.

"Maybe this is why this law was created and if so, I say shame on those lawmakers.  Shame."
