Yes, that's the reason why it's a problem.  They're hearing an abortion bill so they're confiscating "things that might be thrown at the representatives."

But concealed guns are ok? That is still incomprehensible to me. I mean, sure the pro-choice people are not usually the ones shooting people, but still...

People concealed carrying aren't usually the ones shooting people either. If someone goes in there with a product like that, they aren't going to be in there long enough to need them. A gun is for protection.

I don't even know what to say.  Haven't you ever had your period start suddenly before?

That's what breaks are for.

Oh, I see!  So you should just sit there and let blood run down your legs.  That's fine, then.  I can get behind that point of view.

I don't see what you're going on about. Just excuse yourself. Not that hard. Also I love how the article has an obvious slant just from the title.

Right, and they confiscated your sanitary products.  Now what?

First of all, that shit is not sanitary and you don't want to be sticking it up inside yourself because toxic shock syndrome and yeast infections are a real thing and a problem.  Second of all, it tends to fall out of your underpants if you just bundle it up in there--yes, even if you tie it on.  Third of all, it doesn't last very long.  At all.  Like, you might as well not.  Especially if you're a gusher.

And FINALLY, if they're just worried about stuff to throw, then like I said they should also take condoms and similar.

That the rule is brazenly exclusionary.  Even if women are capable of simply dealing with the discomfort and awkwardness caused by it, does that in itself really excuse it?  Does it?  If not, why bother putting so much effort into pointing that out?

I can see this trainwrecking quickly, assuming it hasn't already :/

If you hadn't noticed, I was playing devil's advocate. You can't just look at a law and say "It's stupid". I was trying to show you why they might have done that thing. It's stupid, yes, but such is life. And i certainly don't mind sanitary products or concealed firearms in such a place. Finally, you were getting mighty hostile there. Calm down.
