The irony of the Tampon Tim moniker

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/megyn-kelly-tampon-tim-walz_n_66b3d31ce4b05d0bc2809134

To think that Megyn Kelly of all people apparently started this. She has such a short memory after what trump said about her in 2O15.

Something about "blood coming out of her wherever".

Seriously, just......why?

I mentally thank Tim for making them available to students who need them! That's an intended insult that totally misses the mark and he should wear that name with pride in my book. It's more evidence of what a good man he is.

This is designed to appeal to sniggering boys and incels, a demographic team trump already has.

Of blood coming out of a body without a cut or injury. It freaked them out.
Centuries ago, they figured out enough they could relate a period with pregnancy, but really didn't understand the hows or whys until science and could advance far enough that a woman wouldn't die while they were trying to figure out the actual way the reproductive system worked.

Isolation of women during their period made sense if a culture believed the male sexual organs could possibly be affected through some sort of infection or poisoning process if a grown man touched a woman bleeding from her sexual organs. But now-a-days, it's just a lingering superstitious practice.

That they find it useful to criticize him for making necessary hygiene products available for those who need them says it all.

I thought Republicans liked period supplies. They sure wore a lot of them on their ears at the RNC!
