The Kotex Lobby: Feminist, Liberal Media Demand ‘Free Tampons’ For All
Newsbusters ^

Posted on 08/13/2014 7:20:28 AM PDT by chessplayer

It’s 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 you’re accustomed, you’re 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, you’re 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.”

"LOL. My mother grew up during the depression. She was still washing her homemade ones and hanging them on the clothesline in the 1960s. Everything old is new again (but with handcrafted artyness and premium prices)."

That's exactly it, lol. My mother was born in '22, so she started out washing rags just like your mom. She said she was so thrilled when she finally got her hands on disposable pads (the kind with the belt).

If I had proposed giving up disposables in favor of washables, she would have looked at me and said, "Are you crazy?"

When the pulp gets wet from use, there is a little bit of chlorine gas that is released. This gas travels up the female anatomy and can cause irritation, cramping and pain.

That is a feature, not a defect.

Just think of all the yeasty-beasties, crabs, and disease causing bacteria that kills.

Riding motorcycles is essential to maintaining my good mental health...

I checked with HHS, but they said, "in that case, no motorcycle for you; we want you crazy, so we can confiscate your guns. It's a public health issue, so transcends your individual health."

Free tampons for all!

>> Stupid idea. What am I going to do with tampons?

(1) Save them for flood season, (2) then gather them together in canvas bags (from grocery stores), and (3) use them in place of sand bags to prevent liquid intrusion.

Don't they already have this in Holland and Sweden?

The feminazis have reduced wymon to mere vaginal portals.

I can’t believe they are not demanding that mattresses aren’t free.

I served 20 years in the Navy. Believe me, you don’t want government toilet paper. It’s John Wayne toilet paper, rough tough and doesn’t take s*** off anyone.
