Its the terminus point of modern feminism: make the deeply personal very publicly political, and get someone else to pay for it! If one man is keeping you in the style to which youre accustomed, youre a kept woman perhaps even [shudder] a stay-at-home mom. But if your sugar is funneled from thousands of hapless tax payers through a legion of faceless bureaucrats, youre a tower of feminist self-determination. Fight the power, sisters! Demand government tampons!
This is less an issue of costliness than it is of principle, she later admitted, because menstrual care is health care.
To back up her claims, Valenti cited how The United Nations and Human Rights Watch connected feminine hygiene with human rights.
As a boy, do I get some, too.
Will trade them for ammo.
I think my cats should be covered under Obamacare...that is, if they can keep their vet.;-)
You can use them to plug a bullet hole until you are attended to. :)
Meanwhile, Christian babies are beheaded in Iraq while the idiot plays golf.
Stupid idea. What am I going to do with tampons?
Heck, if we’re going down this road, what about all the bathroom functions? Those have a health component, at least if you don’t clean up properly, you can spread illness. Don’t want to get too graphic on that issue..........
Good grief. No wonder so many men don’t want to have anything to do with women these days. Feminazis are disgusting.
If you demand government tampons, you deserve government tampons.
Justin Bieber wants his share.
It is fascinating to see how the feminist lobby oscillates between casting women as the epitome of moral and intellectual ability on the one hand, and a physical and moral semi-invalid on the other.
Indeed until things happen in their own back the sheep could care less.
Yeah, we really don’t want government toilet paper. They’d probably put Sheryl Crow in charge.
You know, a man’s health may be at risk if he doesn’t engage in regular sexual activity. He could get overstressed and develop hypertension or a cardiac condition. So that’s a health issue.
I demand government-sponsored prostitutes for all single men!
Boys can use them too. You can make nifty crafts with them. Check out tamponcrafts.com . You might like making a tampon shooter.
It's more of a laundry issue than a health care concern. How about free diapers for the children too? Don't forget free tissues and toilet paper.
