     @br00t4c Reading the Mastodon blurb I thought it was going to be about seeing something in the trash. The idea that someone would be disturbed about seeing new, packaged tampons/pads/whatever placed where guests could easily find and use them as needed is... nuts? Sad? Disappointing? Maybe sharing a bathroom with my sister helped me see this as normal but I don't understand how adults can be so impossibly detached from reality and be allowed to manage their own affairs.

     @dkbgeek Some folks are uncomfortable with female bodies and some are just plain childish and immature... if you can't handle feminine hygiene products, maybe sit out attempts to regulate other people's lives, though. Just saying.
