"You have just insulted a woman. This card is chemically treated. In three days your

penis will fall off."

I used to have these cards, which I kept in a card case filled with dusting powder. Oh, the looks of horror!

Does anybody know who might still sell them, or should I just try to find someone it business card software?

Avery has free, on-line, design-your-own business card software at their website. I've made my own business cards for years and printed them as needed on prescored card stock specifically for business cards. You could try that and create your own original design.

It's not downloadable software, but it's free and they save each "project" if you wish so that it can be reused and/or modified in the future. You just have to set up an account to log in and then get busy.

Feminist Sexual Harassment Card
This card was handed out by feminists across the United States during the second wave of feminism, which began in the 1960s. The front of the card reads, "SIR: Perhaps you are unaware that what you just did was insulting to me as a woman. Try to think of how you would feel if your daughter, wife, sister, or other relative or friend were treated in this way. thank you for your attention. Please turn over." The back of the card, between printed flower borders, reads, "You have just insulted a woman. This card is chemically treated. In three days your prick will fall off."

We use cornstarch on sheet fed presses to keep the sheets from sticking together. It sticks to your fingers very well.

Have you ever heard of it? Ovarit?

https://www.ovarit.com/wiki/about

About Ovarit
Mission
Ovarit is a project committed to women’s liberation that provides a platform for women-centered communities.

Women have the right to discuss issues which affect us. Public discourse now largely takes place online, but online conversation platforms are increasingly restricting the bounds of “permissible” speech and banning, silencing, and otherwise deplatforming women who want to talk about women’s rights and women’s issues on our own terms.

A world where women cannot discuss topics impacting our rights is a world where women cannot preserve or advocate for our rights.

Ovarit is run by a team of radical feminist women dedicated to safeguarding women’s ability to have community with other women and speak freely about issues that matter to us as individuals and as a class. We created this space because we, like those who seek to silence us, understand the power of women's voices and experiences. We are here to make sure they are heard.

Powdered sugar would have a similar effect and may even tempt the recipient into licking his fingers further sealing his fate.

Now if'n you were to combine a bit of that powdered sugar with (say) some fragrance-free (baby) powder you might have something that would display a little 'bite & feel' to it as well as being sticky but yet be totally benign.

with food coloring and bath powder, mixed, then evaporated in what amounted to the walk-in closet behind the luggage, LOL! - We ground it up, and dusted off each other's little bottoms after a reddening spanking.

I doubt that TPTB would view such a prank very favorably, even though non-toxic to the male penis. My mom sure didn't when she found the evaporating mixture we believed took away the pain and agony of the consequences of "misbehavior."
