Women of Australia are paying taxes on tampons because they are considered a luxury product, we learned via a petition that came to light today. “Luxury? Get fucked” said all females in the Pedestrian office. “Wouldn’t even consider tampons a luxury item if they came in Balenciaga packaging”, was one other more compelling and articulate argument.
The campaign’s instigator, Sophie Liley, is petitioning to Axe the Tampon Tax, touting it a #BloodyOutrage. Laying down all sorts of relevant arguments pertaining to sexism, biology, voting, and necessities and luxuries not being one in the damn same, Sophie Liley makes a punny, punny case.
Housed by change.org, the petition sits healthily with 42,058 signatures at the time of writing this here article. It only needs 7,942 more, so if you’re passionate about bleeding for a price that is fair, add your autograph to the petition addressed directly to The Prime Minister and associated parties.
