Because you are so tolerant and kind to those practicing their freedom of religion? Seriously --- tolerance and kindness is a two-way street as is respect - a two-way street. Signed, A closet Christian |
Not crazy at all! Most gen x men my age don't know enough about how women's bodies work. Their fathers are even more clueless. That kind of blindness leads to men choosing abortion term limits that don't even make sense because they don't understand how a PERIOD works! You can't have it both ways: not understanding a period yet trying to dictate my reproductive health. |
The 80s was 40+ years ago. This is like being shocked that values became more progressive in the 1980s compared to the 1940s. Beyond your crazy time perception, can you explain how having menstrual products available in mens rooms hurts anyone? It can only help right? Can you explain the harm being done? |
Freedom of religion doesn't mean shoving your beliefs on the rest of us. |
We deserve freedom from your religion. I have no problem with you practicing your religion- just stop trying to force everyone else into adopting its principles too. |
Yes! Inclusiveness, kindness, and generosity ftw! Racists, sexists, and bigots hating on children are the only ones not welcome in our tent. |
Exactly. We support FREEDOM of religion for everybody. You don’t. That’s the difference. Come back once you can accept that there are dozens of different religions practiced in this country, no one superior to the other, and that everyone deserves to practice in peace but not impose their own religious beliefs on others. |
First is cost. How many people using the boy's bathroom will even need access to these products? Why not have them available at the nurse's office in case someone needs it? The second issue is boys will be boys and will most likely mess with the products. I read about one middle school where they ripped the dispenser off the wall in less than an hour of being placed in the boy's bathroom. |
Not to mention destigmatizing female bodily functions. I want my son to understand and support girls and trans boys who menstruate, and also understand the use of sexist slurs related to feminine hygiene products has no place in an enlightened society. |
One middle school, huh? That’s some serious data. What about trans boys this policy quietly helped? And how is it a waste? The products keep for a long time. If they’re not being constantly replenished, then it’s a minimal expense right? I also guarantee you some boys take some home for moms struggling to afford the expense. |
We also didn’t have little computers on our phones. It’s called progress. |
These concerns seem so minor compared to the reactions from the right-wing. Are you really this pissed off that boys might act like idiots in the bathrooms? If that’s what you’re worried about, why not address behavior issues in boys instead of blowing up a thread on a VP pick? |
No but you seem weirdly pissed off. I was simply responding to the previous poster about the issue having these products in a boy's bathroom. Not exactly blowing up a thread .
|
Maybe we can focus on raising our boys to be better then that! |
Anyone invoking a “boys will be boys” argument has already lost. |
