Female Privilege

Actually, we don't have this problem, so it's quite fair for women to have this "privilege".

How is this female privilege? They’re helping homeless and poor women by handing out a necessity. Women literally need tampons/pads, periods are unavoidable. It’s the same thing as handing out free clothing for those in need.

I don't see anymore of an issue with this than I would with government programs that give out free food, clothes, etc.

Are you perhaps looking at this from a more libertarian perspective than I am?

Probably going to get downvoted to oblivion, but this is a good thing. If you’re gunna say “then why don’t men get free condoms and razors???”, let’s think about that rationally. You don’t need razors to survive; worst case scenario you look a little unkept. Tampons and pads prevent a public health hazard. Now, you could argue “well unsafe sex caused STD’s, which is a health hazard”. This is true, and many universities and clinics do give out free condoms, HOWEVER, sex is a choice. You do not HAVE to have sex, and you can control when you have it. Periods come every month whether you want them or not, and they are a serious issue for the homeless/those who are impoverished. It would be like having bloody bandages and needles everywhere. We need this for everyone’s safety, and for women’s health.

Another bizarre argument I’m seeing in some comments is that because there is no male equivalent to free menstrual products, that this is somehow inequality. That’s such a strange comparison; that’s like saying “how come homeless people get offered shelters to sleep in, but not middle class citizens who own houses?” You should honestly be grateful you don’t need emergency health supplies, it can definitely be scary and a huge burden when you don’t know how you’re going to manage each month. It’s not a privilege to bleed out of our vaginas, it kind of sucks.

That’s my take on it, feel free to disagree or whatever you want.

Mens rights is not about the negation of womens rights. I think that the right to basic personal hygiene is something that we should extend to everyone no?? I see no issue here. The money may not benefit you as a man but it benefits a large portion of society. By this posts logic i should be against money being invested in cancer research, I mean I dont even have cancer!! Smh, discrimination..

You need help.

Come on Lads, menstruation is not a privilege.

Men would also need coverage if we had blood coming out of our d*cks every month.

Can I get free razors as well?
