I am surpized how many critics have been bashing this episode, when my friends and I were thrilled with it, pretty much top to bottom.

Kanyes’s new line is um, interesting.

I was all set to comment about how I disappointed I was to hear the Idris gossip but I have have nothing on that anymore because

Doing EVERYTHING he can to get that part in his pocket.

I’m just going to pretend I didn’t read any of that about Idris.

Alright, fine. Now I see him as James Bond.

“He pushed the repeal of DADT through (thanks Clintons!)“

Not to detract from your general point, but this is a really bad understanding of the nature of presidencies. In 1992 Bill Clinton directly campaigned on totally ending the ban on gays in the military, along with a universal health care plan. When universal…

You do know only one Clinton was president, right? There’s no need to say Clintons. They have the same last name. Everybody’s associating them anyway.

Kinda like the way when Fox news talks about race in America with an all-white panel? Yeah. We’re good for that shit here.

I honestly think that the difference is that all of the examples you listed affect all sexes. Tampons will only ever be necessary to women, while every other medical or hygiene product (even if marketed to a specific gender) has utility for everyone. Yep, even condoms.

One of the issues is that (cis)men don’t have to use tampon or pads, so this is an additional cost that women have to deal with that men don’t.

I can’t remember who said it but I’ve heard

The bill also calls for making adult incontinence products and children’s diapers tax-free. She had hoped that broadening her plan beyond feminine hygiene would get it more support, because all are medically necessary.

Male privilege is the basis for all the others. #intersectionality

“Hey, I do just fine without those things, whatever they are. If I can get by without a fancy luxury product like that, anyone can. Buckle down! Fiscal discipline! Personal responsibility! Now, Viagra, that’s a medical necessity...” – Utah Clueless Dude Quorum

I think it was Gloria Steinem and Florynce Kennedy who met an Irish woman taxi driver who said:

I say we go bleed all over the capitol steps.

The war on the woman continues unabated. I read in Upside Down that was graffiti (somewhere on a wall in SF) that read: “If men could get pregnant, abortions would be legal”.

All. Male. Panel. For tampons. All male. No ladies. Just dudes. Tampons. Dudes. Just dudes.

A better way to put it: existing language making oral and anal sex illegal might stay on the books, because nobody wants to fight about it, because it would get messy.
