I get taxed for being a a woman

In Ohio food is not taxed because it is a necessity. Sales tax as we all know is the most regressive tax form there is, it is much more costly to the poor and working class than it is to the wealthy. So why the hell am I being taxed for being a woman. We all know that woman to man, you’ll earn more for the same work, that I’ve got to work what is it like twenty some percent more to earn the same dollar men earn?
Why can’t you just take that I earn 80 cents to your 1 dollar and be happy with that? Why do you have to charge me for pads when I mensturate? What am I supposed to do? You may not count it as a necessity good, but it sure as hell isn’t a luxury good.
You can earn more than I do for the same work, but don’t tell me that soaking up my blood is optional and should be taxed.

I hear you girl!
I think about that every month. I feel really sorry for the poor check out people when they ask me “how are you today?” when I am checking out during “that time of the month.” Let’s just say that I tell them exactly how I am feeling!

Hey there!
You know, there’s a movement to make your own reusable cotton pads (or buy them), so that you don’t have to buy and buy and buy. Also there’s those menstrual cups.
You have to be comfortable with your own body to go there.
But there’s a big ol’ support network
