Will they demonstrate en masse in the quad with a “Bleed In”?

In the Soviet Union in the era of Yuri Gagarin’s flight and on to the breakup of the USSR, women, even Communist Party members, did not have any specific feminine hygiene products. Rags were used. Prima ballerinas and top athletes may have been exceptions in Moscow and Leningrad but elsewhere those products were not widely distributed. And of course there were shortages in medicine and basic food commodities so feminine hygiene was a secondary concern.

If its a really common experience in college, we have a great number of very, very stupid young adult women enrolled. We do indeed sir. I don’t know how they can be educated, but I am pretty sure it will be next to impossible.

Why don’t these “students” chip in and pay for it?
Oh, that’s right, they don’t pay for anything, they just demand stuff.

Can’t cost more than a typical student’s latte budget.If these young women were taking advantage of their Obamacare provided hormonal birth control it wouldn't cost them anything.

Well, by their own (liberal) logic, if
health care is a "basic human right," then
personal hygiene products (including tampons, panty shields, nipple protectors for lactating mothers,
smegma-swabs, breath-fresheners, mouthwash, toothbrushes, toothpaste, tooth
whitener, dental floss, denture adhesive, fingernail clippers, combs, skin lotion, lip balm, lip gloss, shampoo, conditioner, eye wash,...
Sorry, just realized that this list would never end.

Are we back to Sandra Fluke and her ridiculous, "I can't afford my menstrual period products" again?
Or was it her birth control she couldn't afford without health insurance?
Or some such nonsense.

You don’t miss class because you can’t afford pads.
You miss class because you have severe cramps.

Or better than reindeer moss, the Usnea species of lichen commonly found on trees... naturally antibacterial and good to treat all kinds of infections. And FREE...

Aren't college students beyond this?
You'd think this is more a high school crisis.

How about free surgery to permanently solve that problem while keeping these idiots from reproducing themselves?

I suppose they will have to put them in all the bathrooms for the men who menstruate

The very term "period poverty" is an insult. While growing up in Africa, I saw many poor people, and I mean really poor. And one day discovered that really poor women do not get periods: their chronic malnutrition has that effect.
So these "poor" people are privileged first world snowflakes demanding more freebies from the rest of us. But for a small fee, I can teach them how to tie palm fronds.

If we can get the government to supply our every need we will wind up like Venezuela where toilet paper is now very scarce. There it's not just a, "slippery slope" anymore.
Yes, I meant to do that.

Why don’t they ‘self-identify’ as males during ‘that time of the month’ and the problem will go away!
