Bloody hell
I’ve been annoyed about this issue for a while and have to put my foot down once and for all.
Fact: Women do not whip out their privates and pee in public
Fact: If our local government didn’t clean our streets, NYC would smell like pee
Fact: Tax dollars pay for our local government’s activities
Fact: Sales tax is collected on everything but shoes & clothing $100 or less and unprepared grocery items
Fact: Tampons and maxi pads are not considered “shoes & clothing $100 or less” or “unprepared grocery items”
Fact: Men do not need tampons or maxi pads
Therefore women are paying to clean up men’s messes. This is an outrage.
I say we petition legislators and get them to ban sales tax on all coochie products. We want justice, and we want it now!
Anyone with me?

On another note, the word ‘tampon’ means ’stamp’ in French, a fact of which I was reminded when googling for the inappropriate & uncomfortable image above. Which then reminds me of my quest for inappropriate & uncomfortable rubber stamps.
Although right now there is a hot debate raging on Wikipedia regarding the “how to masturbate” page and its lack of citation, fortunately I thought ahead and downloaded the accompanying graphic months ago when this tampon (en francais, bien sur) idea first planted its seed, so to speak.
Inappropriately & uncomfortably yours,

I find it strange as well that insurance companies don’t cover birth control, especially in the form of the pill (a drug) or sometimes an IUD (a medical procedure). But then I guess there would be an argument for them to cover the cost of condoms as well (drug or procedure, depending on how you look at it).
