I like how right-wingers whole existence is being angry about net positive things in society.

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org -1 points 1 month ago (10 children)

I don't know that it's net positive, probably closer to net neutral at best. A very small minority benefits from tampons in the boys room (trans and girls that ask boys to fetch one for them) and the cost is probably low, but definitely not free.

What is the cost?? That boys learn about things they should not know about? And don't tell me the extra tampons, that's not how that works

I think someone has to pay for the tampons.

If they're not getting used, nobody's having to pay very much for them. It's a stupid thing to worry about.

hey, I agree that there should be tampons in bathrooms. It just seemed like you were misunderstanding each other, so I tried to help out. I also think that we should be able to cover the, idk, 500k per year to outfit schools with tampons.

How? Like that's saying a town should not get water because they don't have that many residents. Every paid for tampon is for the same reason no matter where it is placed. This is just a convoluted rationalisation for discrimination

Like that’s saying a town should not get water because they don’t have that many residents.

More like a water company not being willing to run pipes out to service that one house up the hollow past where the state stops bothering to pave the road. And you know what? Water utilities don't run those pipes, because it would cost a bunch of money for very little public benefit. You don't have to get too rural before you start seeing people with well or spring water because it stops being worth it to run city water.

[–] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 1 points 1 month ago

No, they already have the pipe and try to remove them

You do see the difference
