Don’t need tampons if you’re pregnant taps forehead
Oh, that’s how they work: Apply directly to the forehead. /s
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?”
I mean Trump’s diaper changer has a nick name. You’d have to ask that guy where the depends are.
nervous laughter… “NO HOMO!!!”
All this brainstorming for a offensive nickname and they end up with one that points out his efforts to help school children afford essential medical products. Well played GOP.
This is literally just telling people about a cool thing he did. Like, how many people wouldn’t have known about this if not for the GOP?
Certain people I know really believe its a terrible thing
You should stop being friends and family with them. Trust me, you will live your best life if you do.
Don’t worry about me
The issue is they are twisting it and saying they forced schools to put them in boys bathrooms to ramp up the transphobia.
If I recall the law was all bathrooms. And some trans men need tampons.
And sane, normal americans don’t care beyond “yeah. Menstrual products should be available for any who need them”
You are correct on multiple things. it’s all bathrooms and I, as a normal American, don’t care.
Just funny to watch the straw grasping here from the GOP to attack rather than actually have a policy plan.
Boys should be reminded that menstruation is a normal thing every time they use the bathroom.
They will probably mess around with them, and learn how they work. Having their own to play with is better than breaking into girls’ lockers and messing up their precious supplies as happened to me in middle school.
If the school provides a boxful that has instructions, they’ll get the benefit of the diagrams. (Tampax could do us all a favor and label the clitoris, please!)
But even just seeing how small they are might be reassuring to boys whose only ideas of sex come from porn.
The name isn’t to point out his efforts but a way to signal to conservatives that, because he cares about tampons, he cares about girls in a way that is “unnatural”.
The goal is to try to label him, put him in a box that the right can point at and say, “SeE?! He MuSt Be A PeDoFiLe!1”
The people who are building the narrative are trying to paint him as worse than “Hide your sofa” Vance, which is a tough sell right now.
I’m actually sort of proud of the Democrats right now. They have, effectively, pulled the mic from the hands of Trump and Fox, name called them to the point that the Republicans are scrambling, actually panicking, about the election.
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?
Maybe they are pad people. I know ppl who don’t like tampons or feel it could cause reaction.
Republicans know that they are going to lose.
They are trying to muster all the morons together to see how many morons they can try to trick into another Jan 6.
This is no longer about winning an election. They are building The Army of Stupid.
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.

Wikipedia about this sourceI 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.
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”
Didn’t ya know, women are supposed to hide in the bleeding shed during that time of the month!
What a hill for those misogynistic shitfucks to die on…
Also, women are faking it for attention and could just “hold it in” if they really wanted to.
The Republican party is full of fuckwits who think women could just “hold it in” if they wanted to.
weak sauce attack
It’s wild, and telling, what they think are smears.
the party of “if you can’t afford it, then you deserve to suffer” never seems to have a problem with corporate bailouts
Stop, those are their friends you’re talking about.
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 call everyone a pedophile except actual pedophiles.
Because, projection. Repbulikkklowns can’t help themselves. If they something bad about someone, it’s a fact they’re doing it.
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.
