I don't have a lot of time to comment sorry, but the article basically outlines how a man has managed to calculate that a woman only needs 7 tampons per period and they should stop whining about how expensive it is.

Lovely chap.

How big are these tampons?
I’m assuming it’s a whole pack of cotton wool tightly bound resembling some oversized sausage from the butchers?

Well, clearly, there will be less women, because we will all have died from Toxic Shock Syndrome, so there will indeed by less period poverty. It's what I'd call a 'nuclear option'.

What’s his next tactic?
Solving period poverty by keeping us all knocked up as much as possible? Or perhaps he’d like us to go back to how my Nan and her 6 sisters had to deal with it (a shared bucket of rags kept in the scullery)?

Are we all meant to get Toxic shock?

9 periods per year?

Sweary me too. He'd very quickly have 'sofa poverty'

The twitter reaction to this has to be one of my favourites in a long time. Up there with the bloke who thought women should “just hold their period in until they go to the loo”.

If I still menstruated I would love to use my allotted 7 tampons and spend my whole period sitting on his sofa. Not that it’s my job to change his mind but I suspect that I could.
