Imagine, you’re sitting in a coffee shop enjoying a latte and a guy comes up and says “did you hear about tampon tim?” No one can imagine that. It’s fucking weirdo abnormal behavior.
That’s most narratives from most of these goofballs that get their conversation-starters from the likes of Faux, hate radio, Breitbart (does that still exist?) for several decades now, and I’m all too happy that many people of prominence are now acknowledging just how weird that truly is.
Well he is going to help stem the red wave so I don’t know how this is actually an insult…
From the article:
And finally, as Walz reminds us—anyone who thinks that period jokes are appropriate or funny is just plain, well, weird.
Nah. Period jokes can be funny. The problem here isn’t a joke. It’s the anger they’re trying to stir up about the Boogeyman of transgender students.
Eating yoghurt is like eating a out a woman in her period - you never know when the klumbs will appear.
Like what the fuck does tampon availability have to do with trans kids? These people are deranged.
Because they also may or may not have been available in the boys room. I think that was initially the intention but, well, some teenage boys are going to be dumbasses with menstrual products.
EDIT:
As for the latest round of name calling, it seems the aspect of the Minnesota law that has conservatives most agitated is its language: the law states that pads and tampons must be available to “all menstruating students” and “in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12.” A failed attempt to amend the bill to only name “female restrooms,” did not keep it from passing as is with bipartisan support.
“The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district”
They got all pissy because the law didn’t explicitly say “girls bathrooms” and didn’t use any pronouns.
“Hey guys we’re polling really poorly with women after we stripped them of their rights in several states. How can we smear this guy to gain back ground?”
“Let’s highlight how he made schools provide menstrual products to children that need them. That’s a bad thing. Women won’t like that.”
“Brilliant! It’s curtains for this guy’s career.”
Eh, it’ll work well with the TERF-y types, and the general right wing transphobes.
Yeah, but only because they had to really stretch to manufacture outrage.
“The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district”
That doesn’t scream “pro-trans”. It certainly allows for it, but the wording is so neutral that you really have to be thinking to explicitly hate on trans to think this is explicitly out to support trans people.
The Terfs seem to mostly concerned about biological men in the woman’s room, I don’t think they will even care that tampons are in the men’s room as long as they are in the women’s room as well.
Eh, that’s fair. They tend to have some small upset about trans men insofar as trans men make trans women more socially acceptable but you’re right - the primary target of TERF anger is trans women being in women’s spaces because they believe trans women are men, all men are predators, that the purpose of women’s spaces is to keep women safe from predatory men, and that trans women being a thing essentially allows predatory men to put on a costume to gain access to victims in vulnerable positions.
More weirdness. You’d think they would be mindful of how they come off at this point…
They must want high school students who have a uterus to free bleed all over the place.
I think their long-term goal is to just quietly do away with the whole “women being allowed to get an education” thing
“free bleed”
The nightmare I will now have. Just casual dried blood randomly throughout the places people are
Their entire brand is being brash and unwashed hatred. They just haven’t quite figured out they are the minority and the swing/independent voters who prevously supported them were hoping they’d do more than talk. Now that they are starting a new offensive on their war on women Im waiting hopefully that it’ll just give Dems a safe majority in both houses so they can finally enact legislation.
Texas eliminated taxes on menstrual products. Utah provides them for free in schools.
Is that really all these unimaginative and pathetic bullies have to throw at Waltz?
