    You joke, but there is disagreement about making feminine hygiene products free of charge to help poor girls be able to attend school and other activities.

      I only half-joke b/c to some people, literally everything indeed MUST be political. Like whether a woman should have the same basic human rights as a man, especially if she chooses not to have kids - and let’s say enjoys cats or dogs instead.

      I heard the argument was that boys should not see these hygiene products or else they might have a temptation to become girls and they won’t have willpower to resist it. This will result in a shortage of military deployed in the middle east by 2035

        It’s a slippery slope. If we agree to fund free “feminine hygiene products” on public toilets, next thing you know, the liberals will want to add “toilet paper”, “plumbing” and “door locks” to the list.
        Meanwhile over here in the conservative American heartland, we’re fine just shitting in a hole, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
