Syracuse University is now providing free tampons in men’s bathrooms because… progress or whatever.
In a move that defies biology, the campus is setting up a $1,000 budget to provide 10 Tampax Tampons and 10 Maxithins pads in all women’s, men’s, and gender neutral bathrooms.
According to Keelan Erhard, a co-chair for the Syracuse Student Association:
Both trans(gender) men and cis(gender) women menstruate. We should not try to gender menstrual products so that we are inclusive of everyone who uses them.
So apparently men who think they’re women also think they’re capable of biological functions they don’t possess…
However, in the fight for equality, Erhard seems to have fallen short: the $1,000 budget for free menstrual products would only include five tampons/pads in the men’s bathrooms, as opposed to double that amount in the women’s bathrooms.
I suppose Erhard realized that people who imagine themselves having periods won’t be needing as many pads…
Unsurprisingly, this is not the only American university in recent months to implement a free menstrual product policy. Cornell University passed a similar initiative, which also included men’s bathrooms.
According to Erhard, phrases like “feminine” or “feminine hygiene” are not inclusive to transgenders, despite the fact that menstrual products are, by definition, designed for use by females.
when I was a kid, I liked playing “let’s pretend”.
I’m not so sure I like that game anymore.
I’m completely and utterly over the perversion in this country. Not just sexual perversion but perversion of common sense.
Yes, let’s put feminine hygiene products in the men’s rooms. There’s absolutely ZERO chance that they won’t be turned into some hilarious fraternity pledge prank.
A CLEAR violation of Title IX...
;-)
Good for bloody noses.
Try sticking one of those in your mangina.

And the women’s restrooms get condoms, right? Just in case!
If a university’s “diversity” department size exceeds that of their real academic departments (engineering, math, physics, chemistry, etc), avoid that pseudo-intellectual collection O’clowns like the plague.
Your tuition will go for $300k salaries to folks who couldn’t keep a job at a Baskin Robins. Dumb folks. Folks to whom a wedge is a high tech tool.
Plugs a gutshot hole real nice.
What a screwed up generation we (well, they) are creating. What will this be, Generation Confused?
A complete waste of money.
In less than a week, all those in men’s rooms will be trashed..............
Guarantee you that regular women will be going in to the men’s bathroom now just to get the free stuff.
shaking my head at the insanity
lol
Think they are for female to male transgenders, not male to female. The former are still biological females and hence menstruate.

Says it all!
String them together to stop under door drafts. Gotta be what, at least R15?...
My son was a Resident Advisor (RA) at Syracuse for several years. He told me that at one meeting about trans-gender accomodation one of his fellow RA’s asked “How many people are we actually talking about?”. It was made very clear to him that such a question must never be asked. Luckily he was spared Diversity Training hell.
Why are these items “free” in the first place?
If I correctly understand this lunacy, these products are intended for use by women who use the women’s bathroom and women who use the men’s bathroom.
As one of the former, I wonder why both sets don’t simply carry appropriate sanitary supplies with them in a purse, backpack, or other carry-thing. However, none of my grown-up daughters carries a purse, so I do sometimes wonder how they manage.
