The Boston City Council wants to make sure everyone who needs menstrual products has access to them, regardless of income.
During the regular city council meeting, Councilors Matt O’Malley and Lydia Edwards called for a hearing about menstrual equity.
“It’s important to have conversations about public health that impact women, girls, and low-income families,” said O’Malley during Wednesday’s meeting.

If you can afford to give attention to micro-issues, you’re admitting the macro-problems are solved.
If liberals want to deal with this, give women in prison enough maxi pads.
Just count it all as glory per St James, though I doubt he could have imagined sufferings like this.
The Nanny State, that provides everything to everyone. Soon we will have a generation that stares at their phones wearing diapers, who have maids and nannies change and wipe them. Mindless droids who have no purpose
Back in the 70s, an issue of National Lampoon Mag poked fun at "Women's Lib," as it was then called. One page had a photo of the backs of women who were standing up against urinals in a men's room.
And it had a short story allegedly written by one "Germaine Spillane" (obviously Germaine Greer + Mickey Spillane), where the stereotypical "hard-bitten P.I." character was a female detective investigating how women were getting hooked on heroin in one city. It turned out a drug lord had figured out how to inject heroin into cans of feminine hygiene spray.
The whole issue that month was just a riot.
So what else needs to be free, I guess Makeup for women needs to be a public necessity also. How about also basic panties and bras, women have to have those. Where does the list stop?????
Damn it, poor people DESERVE everything the rich pay for, for free!
That really doesn’t sound that farfetched somehow.
The heck with finding cures for cancer or Parkinson’s. They’ve got to find out how to make man-ginas bleed. That would be true “menstrual equity”. Aren’t we due for a major planetary cataclysm or a nuclear war or something to make libs shut the hell up and think about reality for awhile? I can’t take this twilight zone crap much longer.
This problem also exists in the UK. However, hospitals, free clinics (Planned Parenthood), and schools don’t keep them in stock at all, and tampons have a luxury tax (5%) added to them. With my cycle, there was no way I would manage without tampons.
So, after my hysterectomy, I found a good charity and donated all of my unused feminine products. They’ll be going to mostly middle and high school aged girls whose families can’t afford the cost. Homeless women will also receive some. I sent a good 200 items, so I hope it helped.
In the USA though, PP will hand those things out for free. There are charities here that do the same thing as the charity to which I sent all of my items.
And tampons for men who identify as womyn?
>>The 3rd one is on
boxers vs briefs
Don’t forget free blow up dolls for the guys who can’t find a decent woman.
The 4th is on free blow up dolls vs free hookers to all needy men.
How about “lubricant” equality? Some people who enjoy putting their privates some places need lube, and its not fair that some have less means to purchase it......
New democrat platform item: FREE KY JELLY FOR ALL
I’m sure it is something Mayor Pete can “get behind”.
They need to ask some women in Venezuela
how easy it is getting their hands on tampons these days.
We need Menstrual Equality. Period.
“Liberals want free tampons.”
Our charity sewing/quilting group makes cloth sanitary napkins which are sent to needy countries. Ladies use them, launder them, and they can be re-used for years. (I believe our own ancestors did this in the not-too-distant past, according to my mother.)
Why don’t we have a sewing day, crank out a few hundred thousand of these puppies, and ship them off to the DNC to be distributed as they see fit?
We’ve ruined our language and culture with nonsense like “menstrual equity”.
