I had a sister and a wife and was given shopping list to go to the grocery store. It always bothered me to pick things like sanitary napkins up and go through the checkout line. After working in a power plant at about age 25 or so around 1979. I’d tell the clerk my Jeep had an oil leak messing up the garage floor. Sometimes it was the truth. People really need to get over themselves.

Condems work good for keeping snow, dirt, and sand out of rifle barrels to. In that case you can shoot right through them, if things go south.

My second real job as a teenage boy was clerk/stockboy/delivery for a pharmacy. About 1/4 of the store's shelf space was feminine hygiene products. This was in 1969 and tampons weren't in universal use, so most of the stock was these HUGE giant-economy-size boxes of pads. Thick pads, thin pads, big pads, little pads, pads with tags, pads with handles, self-stick pads, you name it.

I got over the teenage embarrassment of handling, knowing about, etc. those things pretty quick. It got to me kinda funny, when some teenage girl I knew from high school would come in to buy pads, SHE would be the one getting embarrassed. They had a hard time asking me for advice on brands and types, but heck, by that time I knew more about the d@mn things than they did...

The trannies are are doing what we cannot: giving radical feminists a dose of their own medicine, and at the same time trapping these pandering corporations in the crossfire. I love it!

Good to have a few in your bug out bag with your first aid stuff, great to place over a gash or messy wound.

Tampons are also useful for staunching bleeding from gunshot wounds. Always carry a couple in your first aid kit.

Wouldn’t a male sanitary napkin actually be a prophylactic?

Next...

The removal of gender symbols outside restrooms in public places.

Would not want to confuse those men who identify as women, and the women who identify as men.

Isn’t it amazing how the woke left remind us of things we know work but forgot to stock up on? A sanitary napkin is light easy to pack in your hiking pack and cleaner than the ripped off part of your clothing. Matchs in a rubber in rainy weather and a few candles to help with a fire needing started. It is amusing to think they are just reminding deplorables of things they maybe should restock.

Look, transvestites and other troubled souls deserve to leave their lives in peace, without fear of violence or harassment. But we as a society have gone way beyond that - we’re now letting these same troubled people insist that we all share in their delusions and pretend that they are women (or men) when they obviously are not. And the leaders in promoting this madness have been feminists, from day one. The silver lining in today’s insanity is that those same feminists are now the ones complaining because the Frankenstein’s monster they grew and nurtured is coming after them.

I had a similar job in my dad’s grocery store. But we wrapped them up in brown paper before putting them on the shelf (Rural Kansas, by the way, c1950s). I guess that was supposed to make the purchase less noticeable, or more anonymous.

“In a statement after the decision, Procter & Gamble said: “For over 35 years Always has championed girls and women, and we will continue to do so. We’re also committed to diversity and inclusion, and after hearing from many people across genders and age groups, we realised that not everyone who has a period and needs to use a pad identifies as female.””

Another really stupid decision by Procter & Gamble. Like so many big businesses, this company has greedy cowards running the operation. And no understanding or interest in the long-term health of our nation.

Do they also have a little arrow, and “This Side Up”, so the female symbol is oriented correctly?

I certainly hope so!

Or these poor girls will have to stand on their heads to ‘apply’ these things.

This is P&G - I am boycotting them anyway for that stupid Gillette insult of a commercial and the clueless CEO doubling down on his folly.

FWIW: I have also stopped buying anything Proctor & Gamble including Head & Shoulders shampoo, etc.
