OMG: The case for free tampons--where will it ever end?

:shock: :roll: You have to remember that The Guardian is the progressive/socialist lib equivalent to The New York Times or The Washington Post in England.

The case for free tampons
The cost of a product that half the world’s population needs multiple times a day, every month for approximately 30 years, is simply too much
....."We need to move beyond the stigma of “that time of the month” – women’s feminine hygiene products should be free for all, all the time."....

Or maybe they are talking about the wooden box or cardboard box that they put their free tampons in? :twisted: :lol: :mrgreen:

Why people feel they are entitled to anything is beyond me.

 

[gramps]

Because!

If that be the case then I want free Flomax pills. It is a know fact that men develop enlarged prostrates in their later years. That is a 'health hazard; also. :lol: :lol: :roll:

Well keep in mind that the 2nd amendment says that the right of the people to be armed shall not be infringed.... I've heard the rational argument that this means the government should supply us with them.

maybe if the women get tampons us guys can get a box or two of ammo once a month.

Remember what Curly Howard said?

Because they're TAUGHT to feel entitled in order to maintain political/commercial control over the masses.

And ain't nothing free. Somebody’s got to pay and it sure isn't the poor and indignant.
These libbers need to get a grip on reality before thay sink the boat!

 

[Bull Barrel]

Free stuff is their reality.
Reality is we need to stop voting for people who play Robin Hood.

They won't though and don't know much about "free" or "reality".

 

[Big Old Boy]

Could this be why our government is broke, free hell we the people pay dearly and often.

The first ten truckloads should go to the military stationed in God forsaken(my God) places. They are used to plug bullet holes.

Truly, you'll find tampons added to the field first-aid kits of many of our frontline troops. They have to buy them on their own. Some forums have had group buys and sent them to the worlds largest litter box, for our troops.

You probably don't know about wearing pantyhose to keep the leeches off, either then. Try being a in the prime male military type and having to buy your own pantyhose. I've not been there, but am aware of reality. Sometimes it sucks.

 

[Sin6Sec63451022]

I'm thinking that rationale should get us all free toilet paper, too.

Something that EVERYBODY NEEDS !!

What do they encounter their first day of PUBLIC school???

FREE LUNCH

So, indoctrination starts early.

By show of hands...How many on here have had children come through public school in the last 30yrs?

Well, there is your answer.

Along with Kotex pads...

The military SHOULD provide them...and this is a far cry from the intent of the linked article.

Well this shows the irony... "public school" ....

So, it's okay to accept free education but not the free meal while you are being educated...
government supplies that and everybody accepts it as okay...poor and rich alike. I guess it depends on the kool-aid you've drunk.
