As a republican, I say eliminate as many taxes as possible. Glad to see liberal women joining for that, too bad they are only calling for the repeal of a tax that they are the ones to pay.
However, it really isn't a tax on women. It's just a tax on hygiene products. Same as toilet paper, toothpaste, soap, etc. The only difference is this one is only used by women.

Four D.C. lawmakers say they will introduce a bill to exempt feminine hygiene products and diapers from the District’s sales tax, joining activists in liberal states from New York to California in pushing for a remedy to what they see as an unfair tax on women.
Most states have for decades taxed tampons and related products at the same rate as other household goods, but that is changing.
