Why not free toilet paper too...?

Let’s all have fun with items most of us don’t particularly care to focus on during our daily public commentary.

“a man who does not have to worry about menstruating to help others.”

_________________________________________________

Menstruation is a gift. It means you are able to bear children. I say that as a woman whose child-bearing days are over. Yes, it’s a PITA to deal with, but it is not a huge burden to bear in order to bring life to another human being (I have two children, 17 and 21).

And why is this guy obsessed with women’s hygienic needs? Weird...

“Kevin Figueroa, a campus alumnus said he believes nonmenstruators can contribute to these efforts by being empathetic and using the privilege that he has as a man who does not have to worry about menstruating to help others.”

As an old woman I can guarantee that Kevin would NOT have been considered a “good catch” in my day-——in fact he would have been treated as a space alien.

“We believe tampons and pads are not luxury items. They’re a necessity — just as important as hand soap and toilet paper,” Ollivier said. “It’s difficult to imagine a bathroom without any of those items, and it should be the same for menstrual products.”

Apparently YWCA spokesperson Eileen Ollivier is a stranger to the concept of 'Free Enterprise'.

Hey Eileen Ollivier, just who is it, exactly, that is preventing you from offering free tampons and pads to anyone and everyone, male or female or other, who wants them, in any bathroom, anywhere at all?

Answer: Nobody is preventing you from doing that.

Oh, that's not what you want? Instead, what you really want is to have your Daddy, um, I mean, the State, coerce somebody else to provide them for "free", under pain of what - hefty fines, imprisonment, being taken away by gun-carrying agents of the State. You didn't actually think that anybody would suggest that you provide them, just because you claim that it's so important to you, huh.

Well, isn't that special, Eileen...

Those drive me INSANE. Particularly the fact that they run during sports programming at 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Thank God I don't have a young son who likes baseball.

When I used to go camping, all the guys used to bring some tampons because they were great to put on any bleeding injuries.

Alas the “C” in YMCA and YWCA has been AWOL for quite awhile.

I told a 34 y/o single mom what the “C” in YMCA stood for.
She was stunned, and said, “Oh! I’m not completely sure I know how to feel about that. I wish you hadn’t told me.”
This young lady was brought up in local California School systems to fear and reject most signs of the Christian religion. But she is fine with chanting Hindu mantras during her yoga class.

If these leftists get their way, many people will have trouble getting the necessities of toilette paper and soap. Look at Venezuela. In fact, these folks need a long-term, vacation down in Venezuela.

fighting to make menstrual products readily available to women and those who are gender nonconforming.

Some idiots are wanting them in men's restrooms. Please explain how men insert tampons and to what purpose.
