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.
Too stupid to even comment.
Methinks you are right. In any case, the lib arts folks had better work at regaining the respect they once had. When I was small, I sent into physics because - quite simply - I had not the memory for names/etc, but could reason things out easily. However, I respected those who knew history, literature, etc.
No longer. They have beclowned themselves.
“Says Products Are Not “Feminine”
I would just shove these up the Erhard’s a$$ and tell IT it’s not shoved up It’s a$$.
“Trans men” means women dressed as men.
Here in Texas, at least in my city, there are signs posted in the men’s rooms of establishments which serve alcohol warning of the potential harm to fetuses by drinking alcohol. Again, these are in the MEN’S restrooms. I have to scratch my head over that one. AFter all, this is Texas.
Or homosexual to plug their larger hole.
Maybe they want the men to decide against impregnating women who regularly get drunk.
Actually, Maxi Pads do absorb large amounts of sweat, too, and some male athletes place them on their armpits, for that reason.
Widely used in the homosexual community to stem blood flow.
Knew some medics that carried a few in their M5 bags, good for gunshot wounds.
A man needs a tampon like a fish needs a bicycle.
Well, the posters (and I did check them out online, they are promulgated by the state’s alcohol commission) are directed toward women specifically. “Don’t drink if you are or plan on getting pregnant.”
THe first time I saw one, I had to quick take a look at the door sign to make sure I was in the correct restroom :)
Okay, that’s weird.
“Why are these items ‘free’ in the first place?”
Because the feminazis decided that “forcing” women to pay for them constituted a “tax on women” which was “gender discrimination” which is “unconstitutional.”
Seriously.
It’s right there in the Bill of Rights, under the Right To Taxpayer-Funded Pregnancy Termination. 8^}
“I wouldn’t be surprised if they outlaw penises next.”
That’s already in committee. Last I heard, white penises have already been axed, and Bill Cosby’s is being looked at by a focus group.
What? Has the world gone insane?
Never mind. Apparently it has.
That brings up a good point. Perhaps the homos need them to plug up their bloody parts after a night of ... You know.
