I think men overall just don’t understand that we cannot stop the blood. If there’s nothing to collect it, it’s going everywhere. Everyone can hold a shit, can hold a piss, and can hold back sex, until it’s convenient. When we bleed there is just no stopping it. It doesn’t matter if there’s nothing to catch the blood, it will keep coming.
That’s why this free-tampon discussion is over your heads. You don’t get it. You can compare it to toilet paper or condoms all you want but we all have control over those things. When we bleed, we keep bleeding until it’s done. There’s no clenching or muscle training that will keep us from bleeding everywhere.
So stop talking about what you don’t understand. If condoms can be free, so can tampons.
Also, toilet paper is free in public restrooms. Everyone would lose their shit if they had to buy toilet paper at work.
As a female. No. In public bathrooms maybe they should be free. But you people are saying you shouldn’t have to pay period (ha) which is ridiculous. Yes. Toilet paper is free in PUBLIC bathrooms. But anywhere else and you have to buy it. Diapers aren’t free either and babies can’t just hold their shit in piss in so that part of the argument is invalid. The point is. In an economy. You pay for goods and services.
