Give this lady a break. She’s trying to do a good deed. Wish more people would find something they think needs to be fixed and work on fixing it.
Here’s my two cents. First, I don’t think taxpayers should pay for people’s undergarments or hygiene supplies. Women have been wearing bras for over a hundred years and menstruating even longer. Any woman who can’t afford personal hygiene supplies needs to reexamine her priorities (hair, nails, cable television, etc.). However, I would hope any lady who really is THAT destitute would have a friend to go to, or even her doctor!!!
As for the problems associated with these during a job interview, if you can’t figure out the problem a woman would have sans tampon/napkin, then you need to go back to Health Class 101. I had a seventh grader last year who had a problem (I had to call her mom and explain) and she’d have unexpected periods right in class...all over the chair, soaking through her pants. So, YES, that could be a problem on an interview.
Now, onto bras. So, aside from some great discomfort and looking really crummy in one’s clothing, that’s about it. And one wants to look and feel their best on an interview.
Over and out.
She is doing a good deed. I had times in my life where I couldn’t afford those same necessities, but it didn’t stop me from going to a job interview.
