        Why do you need a doctor’s prescription for Viagra? Why are tampons easier to purchase, literally anywhere, than Viagra? Why is Viagra so expensive? Why doesn’t insurance cover ED meds? Why are condoms taxed? Why? Why? Why? #woke

        What if every woman said to the viagra-taking old dudes in her life: "Sorry, I can't tonight - I'm on my period." Every. Single. Time. #RevengeOnViagra

        Great, and report back how long she will last. Because if he’s an old dude, as referred to in the post, then she must have some serious mileage on her too (and why would she need a tampon anyway at that age?). In more cases than others, he’s just doing her a favor. Ah women!!!

        One requires a prescription. Most states do not tax prescriptions.

        Why are diapers and depends taxed but blood pressure medication not? It’s a false equivalency.

        Because one is a prescription drug and one is not is likely the reason. Prescription drugs are generally taxed differently than regular products.

        While they're bloviating about gender pay gap lie, an artificial construct, based on grotesque oversimplification, of little value to real policymaking, perhaps the left can ponder 2 of last actual vestiges of legal gender bias, car and life ins. which discriminate against males.

        Women whose male partners use Viagra benefit from the drug as much as their male partners do. This constant carping is about forcing others to pay for more free stuff for the aggrieved . Pay for your own Viagra, tampons and abortions. I’ll pay for my wants and needs.
