英国男人尝试(并失败)将只能为男人的物品命名为“卫生税”

英国议会

Yesterday, the members of the UK Parliament voted 305 to 287 against removing a VAT on women’s sanitary items, because they’re deemed—and I’m going to try not to burst out laughing as I type this—”non-essential, luxury items.” BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. OK, I couldn’t do it.

有什么热闹的是,这次投票主要是由甚至不能说卫生单词的人携带。Labour MP Stella Creasy (one of 191 female MPs, out of a total 650 members of parliament), who’s been an opponent of this “tampon tax,” did manage to get one of her male colleagues to say the word “tampon,” which was a victory in and of itself during a debate where things like tampons and maxi pads are referred to exclusively as “products.”

然而,她对所知道的投票结果表示不满,就像劳工MP Paula Sherriff一样,他说,“坦率地,卫生棉条的增值税是阴道增加税。”

不用说,英国的女性不高兴。虽然,许多人真的很有趣:

当然,这一切的问题是,没有等同于这种方式的“仅限”项目。这并没有让人们试图想出他们:

Now, a lot of these guys were clearly joking, knowing that there’s no equivalent, and so taxing the one thing women need on a monthly basis and need to change several times a day that is not “non-essential” or “luxurious” is clearly gender discrimination. Other men, however…

哦,古斯塔沃。在播放“在第二次世界大战中死亡”卡。(即使是一张牌也是如此?因为我没有意识到这是一张卡片。如果是,让我们在第二次世界大战期间遇到/强奸/以其他方式滥用的所有方面都倒入平民,然后比较号码。)

根据英国财政部长的说法,在任何情况下,接下来将提出欧洲委员会的“卫生税”。希望事情会改变那里。否则,有时候的人不会替代,而不是展示“必需的”卫生棉条和最大垫是如何通过流血的。那将教他们。
