      It is basically a bad faith argument.

      Tampon Tim is the name he got because he put tampons IN THE MEN/BOYS bathroom. Men don’t need tampons Snapz.

        Many men have daughters and wives. Men need tampons. It’s a good idea to keep a tampon or two in your emergency/first aid kit.

          Stop being so ignorant. The high school boys bathrooms aren’t for men with daughters. He did this for a very specific reason.

            Sorry i didn’t mean to be ignorant. I was just using this as an opportunity to promote men carrying tampons. I guess it’s probably a good idea to provide tampons high school boys too. I didn’t think about that.

    I was a kid when I learned about menstruation. As a kid, I said, “why do women have to pay for something that’s necessary?”

    As I got older, I started applying this logic to everything else.

    Long story short, I’m a communist now.

    Not that long ago, I met a lady asking for money on the side of the road. I stopped to ask her what she needed.

    She needed tampons.

    It was clearly the most embarrassing thing she was forced to endure. I will never forget her smile when I got her a supply and some other things that a lady might need/want when going through that time of the month. I have sisters and nieces, so it is something I have been around my whole life. To think of how many of my classmates might have been suffering this issue is heartbreaking. The free items at school is a true caring and wonderful thing. Even putting it in the boys bathrooms, such a good idea. I would not be surprised to know that a boy brought some home to share with someone in need.

      What a thoughtful thing to do. I am actually 1000% on board with having menstrual supplies in the men’s room, even knowing that probably a good percentage of them will be used by boys just messing around. I went to college with young men that acted like I kicked a puppy when I mentioned menstruation. Whole grown men who could not stomach even a mention something so common that it happens to half the population once a month. I firmly believe that having those supplies available to them will not just help the people who need them. It will also make them better parents and partners because they will actually have some basic understanding of what is involved in menstruation and how to help someone in need.

    Well, the Almighty smote women with the Curse to punish them for the thing with Eve and the apple and remind them of their subordinate role, and it would be blasphemous to undermine His will. Note that these are completely normal, mainstream beliefs, and should not be considered in any way “weird”

        Also, women are faking it for attention and could just “hold it in” if they really wanted to.

    I mean - the “psychology” behind it is to try and apply a childish playground nickname that damages him. Sleepy Joe, Lyin’ Chuck Schumer, Low Energy Jeb Bush. The template isn’t complicated. huRr DuRr tampons are gross and icky, and for ladies, let’s try and make people think Walz is gross and icky. While the number of MAGAts is never going to be zero, there doesn’t seem to be quite as much childish frenzy around his name calling as there once was.

    The Republican party is full of fuckwits who think women could just “hold it in” if they wanted to.

    What do you all think the answer would be if you asked Trump and Vance the question “have you ever gone into a store to buy period products for a woman?”

    Maybe democrats should start removing all the tp from the men’s bathrooms at the republican rallies

    Not sure if it would teach them much though.

    Stuff like this is honestly such a stupid toxic hill to die on.

    It’s such a common sense policy (similar to having water fountains at schools)… There are only huge benefits

    Feels like people are arguing “Republicans HATE that tampons were provided in schools but actually it’s good!” And like sure, but specifically the argument I’ve heard is that they were in the Boys bathrooms as well.

    Like everything for Republicans recently, it’s related to hating trans people.

    The GOP finds it as a point of ridicule because they don’t appreciate or understand concepts such as human dignity. God forbid you help do something helpful for kids, Jesus would be against helping children anyways

    They don’t think kids should be fed if their parents can’t afford it. They literally would rather children go hungry than have a functioning government that works for its people.

    Y’all really surprised they aren’t fans of giving out tampons?

    Is it a sequel to Tampon Trump? You know the guy who got his ear slightly pierced and then went on to wear a big ass tampon on his head? And idiots were wearing them too?

    Tampon Trump! Tampon Trump!
    Bleeds from his ear and shits with his mouth!
