The Kotex Lobby: Feminist, Liberal Media Demand ‘Free Tampons’ For All

“ And You Maybe Thought They'd Drained the Entitlement Swamp? Needy woman Giovanna Plowman, forced to recycle her Tampons after draining  them for her only source of nourishment! w FOR SHAME AMERCA! portrayal of stupid things, but Plowman is real.   It’s the terminus point of modern feminism: make the deeply personal very publicly political, and get someone else to pay for it!
