But we need records of this, ideally for when the US government sees sense and signs up to the treaty that will allow Empty to be tried at the Hague for crimes against humanity.

You know, that GOP rat*cking PAC now going after Boebert may not have to put in as much effort to get rid of EmptyG. At the rate she’s going, she might sink herself even with the idiots who voted her in.

At this point it would be more newsworthy if she said something sane and normal.

Thank god we’ve found a scapegoat; I’d hate to have to blame the stainless invisible hand for the failure of The Market and our intrepid Wealth Creators to keep a fairly banal consumer good with not terribly erratic demand on the shelves…

Maybe it’s better this way. If anyone set her straight about the real shortage reasons, she’d probably use it as an excuse to bring back Georgia’s plantation slavery.

Technically she’s right about men buying tampons… if they’re trans men. Somehow I do not think that’s what she meant.

There have been many politicians in history that, agree with them not, have been articulate, well-spoken, moving orators. And then there’s MTG.

If you follow the link, it does say that there are tampons in men’s bathrooms. Seems like she may have been saying trans men and not trans women as the post suggests. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were some forward looking businesses that had tampons in both or in gender neutral bathrooms. Regardless, the article suggests that it is brand specific and due to marketing.
Are we ruling out the possibility that MTG is transitioning from the vegetable kingdom?

How does that equate to more tampons being used?

I mean, we stock menstrual products in all bathrooms where i work, and where Mr. Bells works … although he’s got a lot more non-uterus-havers in his office.

Probably not the luxury products that P&G produces, either. Whatever they could find that was as cheap as possible. I’d have to be in a pretty dire situation to use the free products in the bathrooms where I work. ::shudder::

If you have the same amount of tampons in twice as many bathrooms (men’s and women’s) then there are more tampons being stocked though the use should still be the same. If the levels were kept the same, there would be the difference between stocking one bathroom (situation A) or stocking two or more (sitiuation B) bathrooms. Means an excess in storage for lack of a better description. In situation A, let’s say there are ten stored then in situation be there would be twenty stored.
I just don’t think that it is happening enough to have an impact that MTG is suggesting.
