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.

There are situations where you need to pack a gsw with gauze but a tampon is a terrible thing to use for that and you’d be better off using a tshirt or something.

My understanding is that this often causes more harm than it prevents. It’s a popular concept, and has been taught by many people, but it’s not a good idea. It makes sense that it would work, but when actually tested it isn’t. Check for yourself though.

FWIW I’ve seen little single use packs of blood clotting powder in the camping section at both Target and Walmart recently (in the last few months) probably worth grabbing a few first aid kits.

They probably think soap is a political statement.

I don’t think Megyn even buys into her positions very much. She seems more like just another soulless ghoul like Tucker, happy to stoke the culture war for fame and wealth.

Megyn may not. But the people she’s making money off do.

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

The best part about all of this is that it’s not even true. They’re not in the boys bathroom. Not by rule, and not commonly, anyway.
