 The article was written by Monica Castillo for the Washington Post on March 16, 2018.  Because the article was written by a woman, it could be bias because the tax affects women.  The article is important because it shows that some states are being more equal and less discriminatory, but the country as a whole still has a ways to go.  The article can be compared to women being forced to work in lower level jobs in the 1800s and 1900s when the men got to work in high level jobs and make more money.  Women were discriminated against because of being seen as less capable of intelligence, and now women are being discriminated against because of a natural body cycle.  Women shouldn’t be discriminated against for either of the reasons, even though the state is making more money or women are seen as “inferior” to men.
