I have taken psychic damage and still don’t even comprehend what this is supposed to mean.

    Holy guacamole that’s why? I’ve seen other tampon memes and couldn’t figure it out. That’s hilarious they’re treating that like it’s a cudgel to beat him with. I guess the schools shouldn’t supply toilet paper either

      Not quite. They are going after him for putting tampons in men’s restrooms. I assume this would be for trans men if it’s even true, which is cool and good ofc but they’re not attacking it as a “government handout”, they’re attacking it as a transphobia thing.

        It’s certainly primarily for trans men, but it’s a good idea for other reasons too. Making tampons widely available helps destigmatize menstruation, and makes it far less likely that anyone who gets a period will be caught without one. It’s unequivocally a good thing he did, and it’s hilarious that they’ve settled on it as a primary line of attack.
