Reply to comment by [deleted] in CVS cuts cost of menstrual products in 12 states with "tampon tax" by AmethystOrator

I have to ask...exactly where on this earth do you live??? 'Cause the last package of tampons I bought contained 40 ultras (for over-achieving bleeders), and it was just shy of $20.

And NO, shaving supplies are NOT an equivalent to female sanitary products.

A person decides to shave...or not to shave.

A menstruating female menstruates.

Hmm...so the following was not a response you posted:

"I'm male, I need razors. Should they be subsidised?"

>I guess you're referring to one of my comments where I mention shaving then edited it out?

Your post is still up, and it reads exactly as was quoted.

>Although I only compared shaving products to tampons

Correct, and I refuted your comparison.

>I thought someone will straw man that argument. Misrepresenting that comment, saying I think these things are 100% equivalent. Which you just did

I made no intimation that I know what you do or do not think. I simply pointed out the lack of veracity in a comparative statement you used in an attempt to discredit the cause of those in support of tax credits and/or subsidies for women's sanitary products.

IMHO, suggesting I've not only misundstood but have also blatantly misrepresented your comment by way of a straw man fallacy is, at once, both puerile and pathetic.
