Imagine being Megyn here, thinking you can convince everyone you care enough about 4th grade boys to be outraged at their overexposure to inert cotton or rayon objects. Well, she's convinced me! She's convinced me she's a shit-stirring cunt.
I also wonder how many of these pearl clutchers who are actually convinced by this rhetoric are confusing tampons with dildos or something. I cannot think of a better explanation than they think these elevated cotton swabs serve some darker/more sinful purpose than sopping up blood and menstrual bits.
They don't want 4th-grade boys to know what menstruation is. That's the only thing I can think of.
My grandma in the 30s had to hide all evidence of menstruation from just one of her two younger brothers, the explanation being he was intended for the priesthood. I'm not saying it makes sense.
In what denomination do priests not know what menstruation is?
This was Catholicism. He's a smart guy and I'm pretty sure he figured it out. Did not become a priest, though, so maybe his mom was right.
I went to a catholic school in the 80s/90s. I’m fairly certain we were taught about anatomy and human reproduction. We knew what menstruation was.
