    Isn’t this the same Megyn Kelly who Trump blasted at saying “Nasty woman with blood coming out of her whatever” during 2016 primary debates when she asked her tough question.

    Do us all a favor and sit this one out, Mesogyn Kelly.

    I’m a 56 DWcisM who lives alone on a sailboat with a cat, and even I have a small box of regular Tampax aboard for guests, just-in-case. So they are in the boy’s bathroom, big woop. I hope condoms are in the both/all bathrooms too, but that would be asking too much.

    I also have a larger box of generics I use to clean up spills in the boat.

    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.

        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.

        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.

          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

      One time I was talking about the importance of trap-neuter-release programs in the car back from the GI Joe movie and my uncle aggressively shushed me because my cousin was 12 and they hadn’t told him about sex yet. It took me until like literally this year to realize my family are all fundies because until the last few years they’d been very pro education.

        Purely out of curiosity, how long ago was this? Cause if your cousin had access to the internet, there’s a 200% chance he already knew what sex was.

          No because that branch of the family didn’t allow internet at all and he didn’t even start laughing at ball jokes until 14. Honestly I never even really heard him talk about friends outside his siblings. Like I’m steadily realizing that my family was actually literal fundies.

          Yeah my parents went the “don’t ever ever talk about it and pretend it doesn’t exist” route.

          The internet taught me quite a bit before my school even bothered. And my school was the Bible-belt abstinence-only kind of education.

    Imagine being Megyn here, thinking you can convince everyone you care enough about 4th grade boys to be outraged at their overexposure to inert cotton or rayon objects. Well, she’s convinced me! She’s convinced me she’s a shit-stirring cunt.

    I also wonder how many of these pearl clutchers who are actually convinced by this rhetoric are confusing tampons with dildos or something. I cannot think of a better explanation than they think these elevated cotton swabs serve some darker/more sinful purpose than sopping up blood and menstrual bits.

        My grandma in the 30s had to hide all evidence of menstruation from just one of her two younger brothers, the explanation being he was intended for the priesthood. I’m not saying it makes sense.

        This is frustrating because menstruation, while obviously playing a roll in having children, does not equal sex (which is, I assume, why their panties are in a bunch) and plenty of women and trans men who are abstaining from sex or childfree still get periods. We should not be having a moral panic about fucking tampons. Arrrrrrgggghhh

      if you’re a male an afraid of tampons/pads, it means you wouldn’t lift a finger to show some empathy if you have a person with a uterus as a partner and they need something.

      As a male I feel very confident in saying that if you’re male and afraid of tampons then you’re a fragile little bitch who needs to learn to stop being such a pathetic piece of shit.

    Even aside from the absurdity of objecting to tampons, the idea that boys were “forced” to do anything is ridiculous. The tampons are just there. She makes it sound like Walz held boys and gunpoint and made them go to a convenience store, buy tampons, and then put them in the school restrooms.

    But I guess that’s what I should expect from a professional liar.

    Like, are you snorting tampons in there, boys? You getting high? Maybe you are turning gay on them, I font know, but I do know I don’t like it.

    … “Forced”. Lol.

    “Being the presence of tampons will literally force boys to transition to girls. I spoke with several scientists that told me this. The penis and testicles will literally shrink and go back up into the boy and transform into a vagina.”

        There’s also the fact that many can’t afford to travel. This is why Republicans are so against college. Because it’s often the first time people get outside their hometown and meet people from different walks of life.

        It’s also why Republicans complain about real-life having a “liberal bias.”
