Clemson students protest removal of tampons from men’s restroom

A group of Clemson University students protested the removal of tampon dispensers from the men’s library bathrooms in response to a conservative student group’s complaints.

Holding brightly colored signs reading “Destigmatize menstruation” and “Hello, it’s the 21st century,” around 50 students demonstrated on campus Wednesday to demand school administrators reinstall the feminine hygiene dispensers.

The dispensers were removed after the Clemson College Republicans complained they were found inside the library’s men’s bathrooms.

“If you weren’t aware already, Clemson University has tampon/pad dispensers in the MEN’S restrooms located in Cooper Library. We truly live in a [clown] world,” the student group posted on X on Sept. 13.

Take Back Pride, who organized the protest, said the sanitary products were “unjustly” removed from the restrooms and are asking for them to be reinstalled, as well as for the College Republicans be reprimanded for their role in the removal, according to College Fix.

“Queer people on this campus are not just going to magically disappear,” student organizer Pan Tankersley told the College Fix.

“So instead of working against us, like taking away menstrual products from the men’s bathrooms, making people feel unwelcomed, there should be support for the community that is already fighting to feel safe here.

“If anything, the university needs to step up and needs to protect its students.”

“Hello, it’s the 21st century,”

But the real question is, which planet are you from; Mars, Venus, or Uranus?

Good one.

For males who wondered about the things added to the men’s restrooms:

The best way to do that is to remove the stupid, mentally deranged people. Like you guys.

So let me get this straight. The tampons are there because women who think they are men may want to use the men’s restroom?

How did that happen at Clemson University in the first place?

They can’t be serious. But it is Clemson, so they just might be.

Why do men need tampons? And if women think they are men, why do they need tampons? If you menstruate you’re not a man.

And undergraduates are still stupid, spoiled little brats.

Per Andrew Wilkow, in this context they’re called MANpons.

Can’t they just buy their own gender-specific paraphernalia? I mean, if these weirdos want tampons, they can head right over to CVS and buy some. Or Walmart. Or the Grocery store - they’re everywhere.

The men’s bathroom is no place for buckle bunnies and meat gazers.

“Men” who need menstrual products can carry them around in their purses, the way we women have for decades.

The great thing that could happen to U.S. colleges is their starting to offer Logic as part of the curriculum and require all the students and all the teachers and all the administrators take written exam on the subject and pass the course with at least a grade of “B.”
