Tampons In Men’s Rooms Ignite Annapolis Bathroom Showdown
Hoodline ^ | March 2026 | Kevin Harris

Posted on 03/26/2026 6:18:14 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

A Maryland House bill that would require tampons and other menstrual-hygiene products in both men’s and women’s bathrooms in public buildings has set off a fresh round of argument in Annapolis. Backers are pitching it as an issue of access and dignity for people who menstruate, while critics say the whole thing is unnecessary and potentially pricey to pull off.

Whoever required tampons and other menstrual-hygiene products in both men’s and women’s bathrooms need to be forced to ware one around their neck to absorb the drooling to prove how uncivilized they are.

Last night on “Gutfeld!” there was an interesting, funny, sometimes raunchy discussion about this.

There was a segment by Kat Timpf that explained the odds of any reason for this at a stadium, eliminating certain demographics.

(B) “MENSTRUAL HYGIENE PRODUCTS” MEANS APPROPRIATELY SIZED
TAMPONS, SANITARY NAPKINS, AND SANITARY PADS FOR USE IN CONNECTION WITH THE MENSTRUAL CYCLE.

The left never stop pushing societal norms.

They hate "norms", because NORMAL, the newest "N" word, triggers those who are NOT.

These people are far beyond virtue signalling and deep in madness. They obviously don’t realize it.

Most females routinely carry said supplies in their purse or backpack. If they do get “caught out”, they borrow something from another woman/girl in the restroom or stuff some tissues/TP in their undies. Very few bathrooms provide “free” supplies or have vending machines these days. Can’t imagine a trans “guy” not being prepared, esp. since most seem to carry enormous purses with ten pounds of makeup inside.

It is a show of lefty power to mandate tampons in men’s bathrooms.

This is why the Republicans must not lose the house - or the Senate - in the mid-terms, but with the Iran war raging, and gas prices what they are - I fear they will.

“That’s nuts. Everybody has breasts.”

Oh, so you are one of those people with breasts.

In human history, men have chests, women have breasts.

Men can develop breast cancer. (I’ve never heard it called ‘chest cancer’).

Many women, however, said they're OK with the legislation. "Sometimes people get embarrassed to ask and tell their partner, 'Hey, I don't have any tampons, I ran out.' And you have a loving boyfriend or husband, 'Wait, there's some in the men's bathroom. I'll go get them,'" said Marla Henderson, an Anne Arundel County resident.

If your husband says that, you're married to a p___sy.

I don’t know why anyone would want to shove a free thing they got in a public bathroom up there anyway.
