WTF.....

Quote:When students at Brown University head to their first class or hit the gym for their first workout this week, they’ll find something new in many campus bathrooms: free tampons and pads. Brown’s student body president, Viet Nguyen, who’s pushed the student-led initiative, will be hand-delivering menstrual products into all nonresidential bathrooms with the help of 20 other students. “There’s been a lot of conversation about why pads and tampons are a necessity, not a luxury, but not a lot of action. We wanted to take it into our own hands,” says Nguyen, a senior studying education policy. “Low-income students struggle with having the necessary funding for food, let alone tampons.”

Nguyen sent a campus-wide email today announcing the initiative, which has made Brown one of the first higher-education institutions to implement such a widespread program. University officials have not yet responded.

By putting menstrual products in women’s, men’s and gender-inclusive bathrooms, Nguyen’s campaign highlights an often-ignored fact: Not all people who menstruate are women. “We wanted to set a tone of trans-inclusivity, and not forget that they’re an important part of the population,” he says. “I’d be naïve to say there won’t be push back. I’ve had questions about why we’re implementing this in male bathrooms as well. It’s an initial confusion, but people generally understand when we explain it.”

There's several on this forum that would qualify.

free pads in the men's restroom would be great for emergency situations when the toilet paper runs out. Can't really think of any use for the tampons though.

They're great for starting fires too.

That's inhumane!

I think we should go a softer route, first starting with a hearty breakfast of fried eggs and bacon then throwing the old pigskin around followed by a few hearty cocktails and a skin flick on Showtime.

See, we'll kill them with kindness and brotherhood.

Viet Nguyen? Is this a real person?? It's the equivalent of being named "America Smith." That may explain some things.

Haha!!!

How about the white students?

Link to Breitbart story about SJWs eating their own about this sort of thing

#IfMenHadPeriods, a feminist hashtag mocking what it would be like if males menstruated, has caused a huge storm on Twitter, with some labeling it as offensive towards transgender men.

This thread has lots of win in it...I approve.

If folks at Brown were so worried about students not having enough money for food and tampons then maybe they could cut the tuition a bit from $50k. Just a thought.
