SigmanicUniversity Now Stocking Men’s Bathrooms With Free Tampons
Yup, another one of these first-world kinda stories. Another burden lifted. Greater "inclusivity". Etc. Super.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison launched a program in April to provide free tampons in the men’s bathroom.
“Menstrual products will be available in all of the bathrooms of the Red Gym so that they are available to any student who might need them, ” Steve Wagoner, a spokesman for the school, told The College Fix.
The women’s bathrooms in Helen C. White Hall and Sterling Hall are stocked with feminine hygiene products, while The Red Gym will also have tampons and pads in the women’s, men’s and gender neutral bathrooms.
Student Rep. Katrina Morrison proposed the program, telling people that having to buy tampons was “an unnecessary burden” and that access to feminine hygiene products is vital.
“It’s definitely a deficit and an unnecessary burden for [anyone] to have to go and purchase menstrual products,” Morrison explained. “Having them be free and readily available in campus buildings is definitely a necessity.”
Other colleges are providing tampons in men’s bathroom because of transgender students. Brown University made tampons available to both men and women in their bathrooms.
“We wanted to set a tone of trans-inclusivity, and not forget that they’re an important part of the population,” student body president Viet Nguyen explained in September to Newsweek.

Definitely a necessity!
... and why charge tuition?
The whole place ought to be "free and readily available".
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I think New York City and San Francisco now (or soon) provide free tuition at public colleges for residents (legal or not in San Francisco).

Sig2340We need to get male college Republicans to take all of the menstural products as soon as they are restocked for donation to women's shelters.

I laughed out loud a little when I read this.
Not a "hearty sea-going" laugh (you'll have to ask Balze about the definition of that), but still, more than a chuckle.
Does this make me a bad person??
