        Viagra medicates a medical issue, it is literally a medicine. Tampons are not a medicine, they are not NEEDED, they are goods, and goods are taxed. If you think tampons being taxed is a patriarchal conspiracy against women you are a literal fucking moron.

        Remind me to come sit with you next month. I will happily demonstrate why they are necessary. Don't wear white. For real: Women need these products, on average, for 5-7 days a month for around 40 years. Adds up, and it's not something affordable or accessible to all.

        So has been the plight of woman since the beginning of time. It is, what it is and it’s not going to change, so grow up and deal with it. We all have our crosses to carry. Whining is an unatractive trait.

        Yes, and when women were shunned and kept at home or in a hut, maybe supplies were less necessary. But since I assume you wouldn't like to see women walking around covered in blood, we need them. You are the one whining about something I'm guessing you have no experience with.

        Why should we pay taxes on tampons? I personally switched to a silicon cup to avoid this all.

        “Right now, most states apply sales tax to feminine hygiene products because they’re considered “luxury” goods — not “necessities” like food and medicine. Never mind the fact that, in some states, Viagra counts as a necessity when pads and tampons do not.”https://www.thecut.com/2016/04/how-the-tampon-tax-became-viral-legislation.html …
