Oh no! They might learn vaginas exist! 😱 /s
One time I was talking about the importance of trap-neuter-release programs in the car back from the GI Joe movie and my uncle aggressively shushed me because my cousin was 12 and they hadn’t told him about sex yet. It took me until like literally this year to realize my family are all fundies because until the last few years they’d been very pro education.
Purely out of curiosity, how long ago was this? Cause if your cousin had access to the internet, there’s a 200% chance he already knew what sex was.
No because that branch of the family didn’t allow internet at all and he didn’t even start laughing at ball jokes until 14. Honestly I never even really heard him talk about friends outside his siblings. Like I’m steadily realizing that my family was actually literal fundies.
You are just now realizing this?
It can difficult to realise patterns like that when you grew up with them in your life.
From what I gather, they won’t if the vagina havers have anything to say about it.
Are you okay with tampons in boys’ washrooms?!
Yyyes. And it’s weird that republicans are not. They’re hygiene products, not a political statement.
They’re also good for bullet wound first aid which makes this a darkly practical thing for 2a fanatics
They’re really not, don’t stick anything in a penetrating wound, that’s a myth.
My last first aid course didn’t mention tampons specifically, but if you need to stop heavy bleeding, anything is on the table.
We were told that the general practice with a major wound was essentially to use a rolled up bandage to wipe the worst of the blood away so you can see where it’s coming from, then put said bandage over the probable artery and apply lots of pressure.
Your job as first aid is to keep someone alive until paramedics arrive. Tissue damage from a tampon gluing itself in can be fixed. Total blood loss less so.
They did say they’re an option for a major nosebleed though.
They probably think soap is a political statement.
Soap is just “vaccine-lite”. /s
You joke, but around when covid started I swear a fox news host announced he doesn’t wash his hands cause he doesn’t believe in germs. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if “soap is evil” became the new conspiracy
ha, found it. It was some guy named Pete Hegseth: “My 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off air,” Hegseth began. “I don’t think I’ve washed my hands for 10 years. I don’t really wash my hands ever. I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them, therefore they are not real,” Hegseth added.
I’d hope he was joking but this was on fox so who knows
such a weird thing to be mad about
“They forced 4th graders to be in a room with LIGHTBULBS… those kids arent electricians!! What are they gonna do with all those lightbulbs in the ceilings?? Disgusting!”

I’m currently taking a shit mere inches from a box of my wife’s tampons and I’m scared, you guys. What if one finds its way into my butt?
Wait till they get on a plane and find the bathrooms are “bisexual”. These motherfuckers will be jumping out.
Don’t you realize that they wouldn’t be this close minded in the first place if they were traveling and meeting other walks of life? They’re incurious people.
There’s also the fact that many can’t afford to travel. This is why Republicans are so against college. Because it’s often the first time people get outside their hometown and meet people from different walks of life.
It’s also why Republicans complain about real-life having a “liberal bias.”
Honestly you guys are overlooking the utility of a tampon when used to plug bullet wounds. 100% necessary in American schools
This is true. As a former combat medic, I support all American school bathrooms having tampons and super glue… Well… Maybe not super glue.
I’m not a former combat medic but I fully support super glue in bathrooms. How else will people have easy access to gluing their friends butts to toilet seats?
Wasn’t it that they aren’t dense enough to actually stop anything because they would just instantly get soaked?
A soaked tampon is better than nothing in 100% of cases.
I like how right-wingers whole existence is being angry about net positive things in society.
I don’t know that it’s net positive, probably closer to net neutral at best. A very small minority benefits from tampons in the boys room (trans and girls that ask boys to fetch one for them) and the cost is probably low, but definitely not free.
What is the cost?? That boys learn about things they should not know about? And don’t tell me the extra tampons, that’s not how that works
yes, but Megyn was talking about boys’ bathrooms in schools having tampons, not someone’s house where a brother and sister share the same bathroom
So? What harm is it doing?
Best case: personal products become more available so kids who need something harmless can get it. Oh no, societal collapse.
Worst case: you’re all right, it’s a huge performative stunt meant to push some ideology, and you all are falling for it hook, line and sinker by getting outraged.
Either way, outrage here is dumb. People trying to make people question it are dumb. The fact that we have literally millions of public, gender-neutral bathrooms across the country that have vending machines that dispense condoms, tampons, mouthwash, cologne and other personal products, and nobody has said SHIT about those, should be all you need to understand that any negative engagement you’re feeling here is a trick, a scam, a grift or manipulative tactic for some rich fucks to win an election.
I wonder what’s more likely here… I wonder…
So? What harm is it doing?
it’s not doing any harm, it’s just pointless.
It isn’t pointless. Boys can menstruate. Gender is not biological sex.
