It's occurred me to the "real reason" why Republicans are freaking over [View all]

[no_hypocrisy]

Tim Walz & Minnesota's providing free tampons to girls in public schools.

For the same reason my father freaked out about me using tampons 55 years ago: rupturing the hymen.

That's right. Parents more concerned about their daughters losing their virginity to a cotton wad than their hygiene.

And fathers (yes, fathers) could never be certain if their daughters are having sex before marriage or whether they're using tampons.

Girls would prefer tampons if offered that option over bulky pads.

Again, it's about control over girls' and women's bodies down to the minutia.
