Sure

The Daily Bruin ran an editorial, which was already stupid, calling for free tampons to "reduce inequality." (Remember when Romney wanted to ban tampons? How far we've come.)

Now that's pretty stupid, you're thinking. Surely, it could not become more stupid.

Once again, You Lose. I don't know why you're always shooting your mouth off claiming things can get neither worse nor more stupid. You're always wrong, wrong, wrong, and one of these days you're just going to have to accept that.

So, what makes it even more stupid is the disclaimer/apology that runs with the article:

They want to apologize to referring to those who menstruate as "women."

So... You're supposed to keep two contradictory thoughts in your head simultaneously:

1, that feminists are serious thinkers, Just Like Sir Tim Hunt, only more socially relevant, and are definitely not obsessed with puerile, girlish nonsense to distract them between games of Candy Crush.

2, that it is a major step in societal evolution to draw period stains on Disney princesses to let them know menstruation isn't shameful.

These two claims cannot possibly both be true simultaneously, but you're going to have to make them both true if you want to be a member of The New Elite.
