It's really hard being a woman in Texas these days… concealed tampons! [View all]

I checked and didn't see this come up, as it's from July 12th, so forgive me if it's a GD discussion already … b u t P L E A S E….

Women are being forced to throw out tampons and maxi pads to enter the Senate gallery, which has been confirmed by DPS. That's right: menstruating women are being denied entry to the Senate gallery unless they throw out their supplies.

From Daily Kos… https://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/07/12/1223118/-Police-Make-Women-Throw-Out-Tampons-Before-Entering-TX-Senate-Gallery-While-Allowing-Concealed-Guns

Maybe we shouldn't conceal them anymore… You know… All a woman has to do to step up to wear her concealed weapon on her hip, and hang the unused tampon from her ears.

I'm glad I got out of Texas when I did….
