Movements? Is she speaking of bowel movements? Her description of “movement” is a precise application.

Feminine privilege. Guys don't get hygiene products free.

Of course, there's really no such thing as "free."

Now that I’m well past 35 years of shelling for it out of pocket, I want my freebies too! How about we set up a free masseuse for the seasoned ladies?!

Here is the question, what brand and what type? A cursory look at the grocery store indicates many different brands and styles for women’s hygiene. So how will this be determined?
Will there be bidding from the major brands for naming rights in the women’s rooms?

Many tampons were used in the eighties and nineties by the Marine corps to clean rifles.

Who says universities don’t support the second amendment? Free cleaning gear!

They are also good as a temporary bullet wound dressing. Something that will be required in the next few months...

described feminine hygiene products as a basic necessity that should be in campus restrooms free of charge

Food is a basic necessity, So is housing. And computers. And internet. And textbooks. And clothing. And healthcare. And beer money. And pot. And...

Doesn’t Title IX require equal spending on something for men? How about free beer in the Men’s Rest Rooms?
____________

Not to worry. The men probably have feminine hygiene products in their bathrooms, too, to accommodate trans men.

And the leftist DemocRAT students, which is most of them, will just grab as many as want and take them home, so they won’t ever have to buy any more. Whoever came up with this idea underestimated the greed of most of the student body.

I got out in 1979, so I missed that trend. Semper Fi.

I donated my products to a “Period Project” in the UK. Tampons are highly taxed and considered a, “luxury item”, so women with small incomes have difficulty obtaining them, because not even hospitals offer them to patients at low or no cost. If any woman lost as much blood as I did, it’s very serious; it’s part of the reason why I needed a hysterectomy. A liter daily meant transfusions, and tampons were mandatory.

I know that my donation went to a women’s shelter.

They absorb a good amount of CLP, and are not abrasive enough to damage anything.

We would cut them into strips and ram them through the bore.
Add the work of a dremel with a bunch of felt tips and wheels and you could get a rifle that had been out in the field or use on the range for a couple of weeks inspection ready in about an hour.

That is something the UK has that kind of tax rate on a female necessity. Just think if that were the case here. I imagine there would be a uproar.

Probably use cheap generic prison issue stuff to discourage students taking extra back to the dorms and never buying any.

Are they just going to set out a box, or are the going to have machines that keep you from taking a dozen at once.
