Misogynistic physics
23 Aug
I carry a tampon in my purse.
(Hi! I am RL girl!)
Calm down, it’s wrapped.
Anyway, my purse is about 13″ square and 3″ thick (507 cubic inches). A wrapped tampon is 6″ long and 1 1/2″ wide and 3/8″ thick (3.37 cubic inches). If my elementary school math skills hold up, it’d be about .66% of the total volume of my purse, which is filled with a multitude of other items like: phone, wallet, , pack of tissues, flash drive, chapstick, eyeglass case, gum, notebook, pen, 5-10 receipts, an earring or two and a roll of dog poop bags.
So how is it possible that the one tampon makes its way to the top of my purse and tumbles out at every possible opportunity — even if it’s in the zippy pouch?
Grrrr!!!
