Lawmakers Stump for ‘National Period Day’
Breitbart ^ | 10/19/19

Several lawmakers — including a handful of 2020 Democrat candidates — are recognizing National Period Day in order to elevate “the issue of period poverty,” lamenting that it is “outrageous” that some “people” do not have access to basic menstrual products due to their gender identity.

Organizers planned events across the country and encouraged activists to spread awareness online by using the hashtags #NationalPeriodDay and #PeriodPower. A few 2020 Democrat candidates took their cues.

“In detention centers and in prisons, in big cities and small towns, women across America don’t have access to the period products they need,” former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D) wrote, urging men to “join women in demanding real change”:

Tweets at link. Here's an idea. Since the NFL is oh so woke, to raise awareness of this important issue they should merge the Bucs with Green Bay and call them the TAMPAX.

How about National Colon Day? After removing half your colon, we can have National Semicolon Day.

So the Democrats have been searching long, and hard for an issue that will beat Trump next year, and this is what they come up with!?

The Democrats being mental is getting old. Maybe that’s their goal.

“ that some “people” do not have access to basic menstrual products due to their gender identity.”

This sentence makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

None.

This is wokeness in action and why we need liturgical Catholicism back in Western culture: designating the days and holidays of the year by Saint and Feast and other sacred Commemorations.

With only Christmas and Easter set apart, there is too much space in between for woke people to substitute days with their own causes and traditions. Orthodox Jews and Muslims take their holy seasons and holidays seriously! And sabbaths! We should too!

On that note I think the situation for women in 3rd world countries is truly unfortunate with regard to menstruation and it is a worthwhile cause to draw attention to.

But not make a idol of please.

I am almost afraid there will be no return from the insanity this country is experiencing. We are on the brink of “too far gone”.

Truly a First World problem.

Their ultimate solution is to turn the United Stares into a third world socialists hellhole such as Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

Why can’t there be a national ED day?

Or a masturbation day?

Or an orgasm day?
