Cletus! Look out! She has a tampon!

[The Black Forrest]

There is not much that can be said about his action. WTF?!?!?!?! Just about covers it.

It seems in Texas, they are confiscating tampons and pads if you want to enter the senate gallery. They are afraid women might throw them at the legislature when they vote to significantly restrict women's rights in the area of reproduction.

However, you can still carry your weapons.

Does that include tampons currently in use?

[Condunum]

When is that next special session?

[Gandoor]

Texas never ceases to amaze me with it's stupidity.

[Torcularis Septentrionalis]

So if I enter the gallery while I'm on my period I now have to bleed all over myself?
Blatant misogyny.

Texas is not embracing it's moon time, guys.

[Surfistan]

Can any congressman make a Sell Texas Act, please, pretty please?

Give it to South Korea or something.

[Rocopurr]

How do they know if they have a tampon or pad? Do they frisk women to see or search their purses?

I wish Barney Frank would buy Texas on eBay.

I would assume they're just confiscating tampons women are carrying, not ones that are already inserted. At least I HOPE so. (On some level, I also kind of hope this backfires and women decide to throw those used tampons instead, solely because of this idiocy.)

Or we could just not throw tampons.

...What?

[Genivaria]

The Texas Senate's misogyny is becoming more and more obvious it seems.

Oh come on, who doesn't enjoy the occasional game of Throw the Tampons at the Senator?

If I'm in the gallery for a long time, chances are I'm going to have to change my tampon so I don't get TSS, or bleed through.

Given Texas, the answer is yes.

[Regnum Dominae]

What the fuck Texas.

EDIT: 5000th post. And this represents so much of NSG: "What the fuck did I just read?"

Messy day at the Senate building. The custodian is going to have himself a job to do.

[Genivaria]

What the fuck Texas.

I want it known that my state Senate in no way represents my views and I despise them.

Hide tampons in the magazine of a gun. Get something high calibre and you can put a couple in the barrel too.

Oh, sure - not disagreeing, and this is profoundly not okay.

Sources say a man wielding janitorial equipment was seen outside the Austin-area Capitol building shortly after the vote selling individual tampons and pads.
