today’s example of why modern Conservatives are weird people
“Tampon Tim is hands down the best political nickname ever,” tweeted conservative commentator Liz Wheeler. “It’s so… savagely effective. In one word tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about Tim Walz’s dangerous radicalism.”
The moniker refers to a law that Walz, the governor of Minnesota, signed last year, requiring public schools to provide menstrual products — including pads and tampons — to students in 4th through 12th grades.
Tim Walz’s dangerous radical agenda of…providing menstrual products to adolescent kids that might need them. lolol
Some religions to this day decree when a female is “unclean” and should be isolated. The problem are people with that mentality.
The same “yuck” factor lies at the root of not thinking rationally about tampons, abortions, childbirth, lactation, etc. Controlling a population’s approach to inherent bodily functions, has been an effective way of brainwashing for ages. Stuff like vote of celibacy, vote of silence, vote of reclusion, fasting, and similar. Convincing people to sacrifice for a doctrine, gets them invested and pulls them into a sunken cost fallacy.
I’d call it Evil… but that is going onto their territory, so laughing it off with Weird, is probably a better strategy.
