They are soft, cottony things. They are not a real threat. Granted, it makes some sense to confiscate them because the people involved in that decision look like a bunch of giant ****ing ******s for being worried about it.

I heard a rumor that the tampons were infected with smallpox

The taking of women's rights to decide what they will do with offspring is moving ahead, is it not? This in M'erica, the land of "I do what I will with me for it is the land of the free." A place the castle doctrine is applied for homes but not it seems with peoples' bodies.

Let me get this straight..

By referencing castle doctrine, you are referring to an unborn child as the equivalent of a home invader?

So you think the guns should be banned then?

If you read the preceding posts (hard, I know, but maybe you'd get it), someone was busy justifying how it's better to allow guns than maxi-pads.

I shouldn't laugh though, my state has produced such luminaries as Darrell Issa, Maxine Waters and Barbara Boxer.

No, no. You've got to stop confusing smallpox with herpes. Totally different.

Conspiracies are secret

It's no secret that cops lie all the time. They're trained to lie

I don't recall reading anything of the sort.

But I find that stupid too.... firearms do not belong in government buildings such as that one unless held by security.

Courthouse rules and all....

Oh, please. There was a rumor/threat that tampons would be thrown to disrupt the proceedings. All females were surely allowed to apply any tampons necessary before having the remainder confiscated.

Big ****ing deal.

Seriously, if this constitutes sexism, then your entire position is a farce.

The lack of respect some on the far right have for women as equal citizens is appalling.

Negative.

But keep thinking that......

I don't understand why tampons are considered to be humiliating. It's not like the world doesn't know you bleed from your vagina for a few days each month.

As far as the confiscation goes, I guess one of my questions would be were the items given back and/or were the women compensated for the items taken from them?

1. I'm not on the right.
2. I'm a feminist, as per my university's Gender Department.
3. I've espoused feminist ideals in rural Africa.

4. Take your scumbag slander elsewhere.

What does THAT have to do with your original premise?

BTW, I know what that is like, **** similar to that happened to me because I refused to go along with the departments idea that "reducing crime" just takes "under-reporting".. changing a residential B/E to a "damage to property", and harrassing citizens trying to get them to admit a break in was falsely reported despite no evidence so crime stats could go down.....

What exactly is it that prompted such an angry outburst directed at me?
 
Re: Was This Acceptable?

Redress said:
So, the story is going around, you probably have heard about it. Big abortion debate/vote in Texas yesterday, and on fears that some protesters might throw them into the assembly, tampons and pads where being confiscated before people could enter the viewing area.

View attachment 67150283

Supposedly the Texas legislature heard from somewhere that they might be possibly used to disrupt the proceedings. So my question is, do you find this action justifiable?

Where's the proof that they actually did this?

In a public setting? Or are you under the impression they were not returned to the women upon leaving the room?

Yeah - I'd rather avoid that entire embarrassing scenario.

"Excuse me - can i have my maxi-pad back . . . mine's in the green packaging. No, not that one, it's the other one. Yeah - I'm having an extra heavy flow day and standing for an hour is a bit much, apparently, I'm about ready to bleed down my leg."

:roll:

You know what - I wouldn't have forked it over, I would have hidden my pad in the waist of my slacks if I had to. Nope - you can have my feminine napkins when you pry them from my cold, dead hands.

It's not an angry outburst. It's a reasonable reaction to you calling me a sexist.

I'll tell you what amazes me: all the braindead partisan idiots who wouldn't know a critical thought if it bit them. They turn every little thing into some huge deal, in a pathetic attempt to make themselves relevant.

Do you think they do not want to ban men from aborting babies too?
