CVS counters Texas ‘tampon tax’ with 25% off menstrual products
"On the rag" used to mean you were bleeding during your menstrual cycle, because back in olden days, women fastened rags to their undergarments to catch their flow, then washed and reused these cloths each month. On the rag became slang for many years, to reference a woman's irritability, mood lability and anomalous, volatile or unsavory behaviors.
Taxing feminine menstrual products seems absurd, yet everything else we purchase is taxed too, who why not this? I suppose if MEN needed sanitary products monthly, this would seem like a fairer shake~ but they don't, and it isn't.
Me? I'm permanently "on the rag" about outrageous, irrational, unpatriotic, unconstitutional and abhorrent policies and practices that have been implemented by the Biden administration~ and I keep wondering when the fuck I'm gonna stop bleeding from its assaults on the safety and well-being of American citizens!
