Why is JD Vance so obsessed with menstruation? [View all]

I'm not even trying to be snarky when I say IT'S WEIRD the way this guy is so obsessed with periods!!

Whether it's trying to monitor bleeding in an attempt to ascertain if women are terminating pregnancies https://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/jd-vance-menstrual-surveillance-hawk or this strange fixation on Gov. Walz having MN install period product machines in school bathrooms, Vance (and Trump by proxy) seems unusually interested in (and confused by) the menstrual cycle.

This isn't normal. Normal people do not obsess over this!
