A pair of teenage boys from Fort Wayne, Indiana are being praised for always carrying a tampon in case one of their female friends needs one.

Blogger Tara Ahrens said that when she first talked to her sons about how 'traumatizing' a bleed-through can be for a menstruating woman or a girl, her sons mostly remained quiet — but it wasn't long before they took it upon themselves to carry supplies to help their female classmates.

Now Micah, 16, and Elijah, 17, always keep tampons in their lockers in case of emergency, and their thoughtfulness is being applauded on social media.







quote:

Tara finds other ways to destigmatize female anatomy around her sons, including taking them bra shopping for their younger sisters.

In fact, Tara went viral for a post in the private Facebook group Pantsuit Nation in 2019, where she shared a photo of Elijah in Micah in the women's underwear section at Target.


quote:

'My teenage boys helped me shop today, which included buying their little sister’s first bras… because breasts happen,' she wrote.

'Both boys carry a tampon and a pad in their backpacks in case one of their friends needs one. Just a mom out here, trying to erase gender taboo!!'

The beatings those kids will take will be discussed in therapy for years.

I’ve never known any teenage boys to deny the existence of breasts.

Work well with puncture or certain wounds as well.

The tampins actually double as a bloody nose stopper. The reason they really carry them around is they are constantly bullied because of their psycho mother.

The coming years will reveal the sheer hatred and resentment that some children have for their parents using them for social media clout.

I heard about this on the local radio morning show. Just another case of an attention whores mom sacrificing her kid's social lives for internet clout.

People are crazy.

I like this but honestly it’s just a half measure. She needs to help her sons realize that their privilege causes harm to women, including trans women. Do they plan on going to college? What if they take a woman’s spot? These are serious issues and her children need to be more cognizant of the destructive roles they will play when they get older. Still, it’s a start...

I think maybe the intent here is good, but just cannot imagine a high school girl going to a guy asking for a tampon. Most girls I knew at that age were mortified when guys knew they were on their period.

The opposite may happen as well. Those two brothers may be slaying pussy before most of their friends. You never know...
