So? What harm is it doing?
Best case: personal products become more available so kids who need something harmless can get it. Oh no, societal collapse.
Worst case: you're all right, it's a huge performative stunt meant to push some ideology, and you all are falling for it hook, line and sinker by getting outraged.
Either way, outrage here is dumb. People trying to make people question it are dumb. The fact that we have literally millions of public, gender-neutral bathrooms across the country that have vending machines that dispense condoms, tampons, mouthwash, cologne and other personal products, and nobody has said SHIT about those, should be all you need to understand that any negative engagement you're feeling here is a trick, a scam, a grift or manipulative tactic for some rich fucks to win an election.
I wonder what's more likely here... I wonder....
it's not doing any harm, it's just pointless.
Unless you have friends who menstruate. :b You sound like you have no clue what it's like to need a tampon and not have one. It's truly a miserable experience and a friend with any sort of menstrual product on hand is a gift.
It's so easy to do this and everyone benefits. Boys and men can help girls and women with issues and vice versa, it doesn't have to be weird. Not to mention trans people exist.
yeah, because I'm a guy. It's an issue that doesn't affect someone like me.
Did you really skip my very first sentence to make a brain-dead gotcha comment? Oof.
