    PSA: The story about banning tampons is satirical

    I’ve seen a number of folks reblog this story in all seriousness now, but it’s not true. The source. Freewood Post, is a satirical “news” site, similar to the Onion. I know it’s really easy to believe that the GOP would try to pull something like this, given all the other anti-woman, anti-reproductive rights fuckery they’ve engaged in lately. But banning tampons, at least, is not one of them.

    Your research librarian, signing off for now.

      lol that really does heighten how ridiculous the right is, doesn’t it? Such that we’d instantly take satire as...
