But where does female genital mutilation fall in here as far as “violation of several human rights and dignity”?

I remember when I started, my grandmother sent a note to my female teacher that said “Please excuse her for bathroom breaks as she has come into bloom”.

The term being on the rag was explained to me by my grandmother. Back in her day, women used white rags for their periods. The women would wash and hang them on the clothes line and any boy that made fun of it or commented on it, got smacked.

So the poor can’t afford tampons, pads, panty-liners but they can afford cable, designer clothes, jeans, jewelry, 200.00 tennis shoes?

You are so short sighted - those should be free (to the right people) too.

That’s right. They can’t afford tampons but they can afford all the bling.
