Cast your mind back in time to when controversy was raging over the so-called tampon tax.
Feelings ran high over the fact that women's sanitary items were levied at 5% VAT under EU rules, while other "essential" items such as Jaffa cakes and shop-brought pitta bread were zero-rated.
More than 300,000 people vented their anger in an online petition calling for the tax to be scrapped, and women not to be penalised for what is an absolute necessity.
Eventually, progress was made on this little cornerstone of inequality - only for another row to erupt in its wake.
For it now emerges that a quarter of a million pound grant from cash raised via tax on tampons and sanitary towels will be contributed to an anti-abortion charity.
The organisation Life campaigns against abortion and has come under fire in the past for holding misleading counselling sessions with women considering terminations.
Women's rights campaigners and politicians are outraged at what they interpret as the greatest of ironies: using money that unfairly targeted women to limit their reproductive rights.
"This fund was supposed to help women, not encourage those organisations who want to control them - completely unacceptable and must be stopped," tweeted Stella Creasy, Labour MP for Walthamstow.
She then tweeted to Rob Wilson, the minister who announced the funding: "Hey @RobWilson_RDG can you please cut funding to pro-life orgs and help ensure no young woman goes without tampons in school instead pls?"
This comes after it emerged that many schoolgirls in the UK skip classes every month because they cannot afford sanitary items.
The shadow minister for women and equalities, Paula Sherriff, slammed the fact that women have been taxed on their biology "only for the government to hand over that money to organisations that don't even believe we should have control over our own bodies".
A spokesperson for the End Violence Against Women Coalition said: “We are surprised to see that Life is the recipient of a very significant tampon tax grant. The government set out clearly that this money would be spent in ways that would address women’s specific needs and inequalities. It is hard to understand how a service offering counselling based on the fundamental premise that abortion is wrong, to vulnerable women, can do that.”
Giving details of the fund on Friday, civil societies minister Wilson said, “From Cornwall to Dundee, the tampon tax fund continues to benefit organisations in every corner of the UK working to improve the lives of disadvantaged women and girls, including those who’ve been affected by violence."
Seventy charities across the country are receiving funding from the tampon tax pot, including the Suzy Lamplugh Trust, which helps women being stalked, and the Women’s Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre.
At £250,000, Life's grant is among the largest on the list. The charity said it would use the sum to support homeless pregnant women in London.
