What is your issue with menstrual products in all bathrooms?

[Smashingdoozy]

If you live with any women they're already in your bathroom at home 🙃

[TsundereMatrix]

It shouldn’t be an issue if they are unisex bathrooms. This year I worked for a company that had unisex bathrooms and they kept pads and tampons in every one. I rarely seen that at other places I worked at. They never had them in women’s bathrooms either so this company impressed me with feminine hygiene products in unisex bathrooms but on the flip side they kept gender equality in high regard too.

[Smashingdoozy]

Love this

[TsundereMatrix]

I should also point out that I work in a male dominated industry so having feminine hygiene products so readily available was a big deal for me in a positive way!

[FunkyMonkee]

I lived with 3 women and they were never in the bathroom. They were in a corner in the closet of their bedroom.
I don't really have a problem with them being there but, if you're talking about Tampon Tim Walz, it's the REASON I object to them being in men's bathrooms!!
The ONLY reason they should be in men's rooms is in the extremely off chance that some woman is in sudden dire need of one and the women's room is too far away for her to get to and the men's room just HAPPENS to be right there. He can run in to see if anyone else is in there, give her the all clear, if it IS empty and then she can go in and take care of business.
But, in all my decades on this planet, I've NEVER been in or seen or even heard of a situation like that!! And, one of my closest friends had something wrong with her that caused her to have a period every WEEK! And, sometimes, she bled so much, she'd pass out from loss of blood.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

errrrr explain how the place, how rooms were built here, I don't get this situation where you live with women while there are gender based toilets at the same time?

[FunkyMonkee]

@Maybe_Maybe_not My parent's house. I lived there with mom and my 2 sisters.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Wait, are you telling me that your parents had men's room and women's room in a private space, at home? If so, how common is this, I've never heard of such a thing, even from my grand-parents generation, like 1940's so... Something escapes me here

[FunkyMonkee]

@Maybe_Maybe_not You said, "If you live with any women they're already in your bathroom at home " And I responded to that.

[TadCurious]

Only women/girls menstruate. There's no need for period products in men's restrooms. It's basic biology.

Now, because I keep up to date with the latest nonsense from the intersectional left, I'm well aware that that a tiny percentage of women/girls "feel like" they are guys. But objective reality doesn't care about those subjective feelings. We certainly don't need to upend society in order to placate the tiny number of people with gender identity disorder and gender dysphoria. Those people deserve compassion but not at the expense of objective reality.

[Smashingdoozy]

Because it's so compassionate to disregard their identity...

[OlderAndWiser]

Because it's not compassionate to validate their delusion.

[Smashingdoozy]

@OlderAndWiser just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it's not real.

[OlderAndWiser]

Of course. The FBI really does have electric wires woven into your carpet so they can shock you every time you think about sex.

[4ngelic]

transgender people are really rare especially ftms, it's really overkill to add tampons and pads to every guy's bathroom for the rare possibility that a ftm would be in that bathroom out of pads or tampons and would need a dispensor. it's going too far to be woke. i'm not transphobic or anything its just way way too overkill

[Smashingdoozy]

Its not like it'll be in the way 😂

[JohnK123]

I guess u could also make the claim if a girl really needed to go and there was a line she could use the men’s restroom but then like u would need to add that stuff to all of them if ur doing a couple or people would be mad if that happened and they’re like why does this men’s restroom have it but this one doesn’t

[OlderAndWiser]

Would you buy shoes for a man who has had both legs amputated?

[Smashingdoozy]

Yes. They often wear prosthetics.

[Smashingdoozy]

Eskimo is a derogatory term 🙂 Inuit is the correct terminology. And I don't know man maybe they want some clean ice for a drink.

Point is there's always exceptions. Trans people exist. Non binary people exist. They use bathrooms.

[OlderAndWiser]

A derogatory term is one that is used with the intent of insulting someone. No word, without reference to the intent of the speaker, is ever derogatory.

Anyone who actually has a monthly cycle is a female and should be using the girls' restroom. No one who belings in the boys' restroom needs a tampon.

[Wiredone]

@ olderAndWiser I wish this site still had the thumbs up button, you'd get one

[OlderAndWiser]

@Wiredone Thank you, sir! Actually, it is at the bottom of my first post on this question.

[Smashingdoozy]

You'd freak the fuck out if a trans man used the womans restroom.

Also no a derogatory term does not have to have intent to harm or insult in order to be harmful or insulting. If you just took 5 seconds out of your day to look up why Inuit and yupik people do not like this term you'd actually add to your namesake 😱

[Smashingdoozy]

@the29thhuman damn I've never seen a trend last centuries. How interesting.

[OlderAndWiser]

I don't bow to woke/PC nonsense, and neither do many others. You probably would also tell me that I should not refer to Asians as Orientals.

theveganeskimo.com/.../90-is-eskimo-really-a-derogatory-term

[the29thhuman]

I love you all too :)

[Smashingdoozy]

Weird that you think using a link from a cooking website to prove your point is a valid argument 🥴

[Juxtapose]

And what website is the ultimate authority on what is offensive or not?

[OlderAndWiser]

It is written by an ESKIMO! And that is what she calls herself. She doesn't need you to be offended for her, because she isn't offended. You and the woke crowd are sinmply looking for traps to set for people so you can then condemn their behavior and convince yourself that you are morally superior (meaning you are trying to compensate for a weak ego.)

You probably also think that my alma mater should not call themselves the Seminoles, as that is another disrespectful action towars native Americans.

[Smashingdoozy]

And many articles have been written by Inuits saying the opposite. Wow crazy.

[OlderAndWiser]

Who's crazy? Me because I disagree with you?

[Smashingdoozy]

I didn't call you crazy. You're really not good at this whole wise thing.

[OlderAndWiser]

Your idea of wise is someone who agrees with you.

[Smashingdoozy]

My idea of wise is someone who takes new information on instead of being stuck in their own world where only what they say could possibly be correct.

[OlderAndWiser]

Sounds like you described yourself. But i don’t expect you to acknowledge that.

[Smashingdoozy]

Mm no because upon learning new information I adjust my perspective. You just find reasons to not adjust your perspective. That's the difference 🙃 if only I could change my name

[OlderAndWiser]

Another arrogant person from the UK. Yawn!

[Friendlybro79]

Zero issue. I have an issue with world hunger, lack of clean water without lead in it. Etc. This is a thing only people with nothing serious on their mind worry about. Or the fact they can't get over how something that doesn't affect their life at all.

For all people that do have a problem with this did you ever think well one plus is of the ladies room runs out a man can hop the men's room and help her SO out?

If this is an outrage to you how is a convicted felon that raped a woman running for president ok?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Bathroom is a confusing word for me, but I guess we're talking about toilets. I don't see any valid reason to separate men from men in any toilets, public or private. The only reason for the existence of gender-based toilets I see is, once again, a tradition without meaning?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

damn I wrote men from men, I meant women 🤣

[Smashingdoozy]

I understood lol and I agree. Every public bathroom should be single stall with everything you need in them, like a little room. No door gaps, just a regular door. They are so much more convenient and take up so much less space

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Actually I see a reason for this tradition, I remember now, woman is impure, religious madness with periods. That might be the starting point...

[Smashingdoozy]

😂😂 oh dear we bleed!

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Yeah, it's terrible really, running such a double bind speech where periods are considered impure while birth is considered sacred. But then it has to date back to times where the physiological relation between periods and birth was not yet discovered. Proving, one more time, that literal reading from a book is the enemy of religion, because it is the enemy of education, as such, the enemy of compassion.

[AviatorTom]

There's no reason to have feminine supplies in boys bathrooms, just like there is no reason to have jock straps in girls bathrooms.

The "If you live with any women" argument is nonsense. The women use the feminine products so why not have the in the bathroom at home? Boys have no use for feminine products in their school bathrooms.

[normalice]

Right wing media told them to be mad so they are mad. That's all..

[Smashingdoozy]

Yeah I doubt they would even notice them there lol

[Juxtapose]

Men don't menstruate and this is pushing the sick ideology of people being able to change their biology simply by playing pretend. That's not how it works.

I am all for adults doing what they want to their bodies but we should not entertain delusions.

[Smashingdoozy]

Weird contradicting yourself in one sentence

[Juxtapose]

How so?

[Smashingdoozy]

"all for adults doing what they want to their bodies" but in the same sentence you are basically saying you aren't for that

[Juxtapose]

No, I am not for society changing itself and children being indoctrinated into it.

If adults wanna mutilate themselves without getting society or kids involved? Have at it.

[Smashingdoozy]

But you don't want menstrual products in a bathroom...

[Juxtapose]

Putting menstrual products in a school's male bathroom is nonsensical and unnecessary. Keep that stuff away from kids please, it's unnecessary to push gender ideology upon children. They are highly impressionable.

[Smashingdoozy]

It's not though. Trans people exist. Let them live their lives. Make their own choices.

All bathrooms should be gender neutral anyway.

[Juxtapose]

I mean let's face the facts, these are people saying that men can get pregnant. They are twisting what it means to be a man or a woman to mean what is in your head when it has never been like that before. Being a man or woman is entirely dependent on your body and chromosomal makeup.. not what you feel like you are.

To push that on to children is unconscionable.

I do agree that more bathrooms should be gender-neutral but not all of them since you will always have some women who want to be separate from men in that way.

[Smashingdoozy]

Trans men can get pregnant. That is a fact.
All bathrooms should be single stall

[Juxtapose]

Come on keep that garbage away from children please. There's no need for little boys and girls to be brainwashed into thinking you can think you are the opposite sex and that makes you the opposite sex.

[Smashingdoozy]

As someone who has worked with children who are experiencing gender identity issues AND children who have essentially been brainwashed. They're very much not the same.

[Juxtapose]

And where do you think this surge of identity issues came from? Well intentioned but really dumb and foolish adults. Most children would never think of that kind of thing on their own.

If a child develops gender dysphoria all on their own, then that is unfortunate. They are a very small minority of the population so they can simply use single person bathrooms that most schools have if the normal bathrooms assigned to their biological sex is such an issue.

[Smashingdoozy]

Just because they're a minority doesn't mean they should be ignored or not catered to.

[Juxtapose]

So what if somebody has a mental disorder and think they are a cat? Are we going to start putting litter boxes in bathrooms now?

No, it is not society's job to cater to your personal fuck ups. It is YOUR job to adapt to society. In reasonable circumstances such as being bound to a wheelchair, you will be provided certain accommodations but having a mental problem does not entitle you to use bathrooms not meant for you.

[Juxtapose]

In America we do not want a nanny state. The government is not our sugar daddy.

Society in the USA is atomistic and individuals have a capacity and desire for self-reliance.

[Smashingdoozy]

Being the wrong gender is technically scientifically feasible as a brain getting their wires crossed is pretty common.

[Juxtapose]

The rotten roots of gender ideology, a. k. a how gender became a term used outside of grammar. ↗

^^ above is how this nonsense started. Gender ideology was invented by pedophiles and radicals.

[Smashingdoozy]

Hahaha no.

[Juxtapose]

If you want to win over hearts and minds you have to articulate why you think the other person is wrong and why you are correct.

[Smashingdoozy]

"Madison Bentley had already defined gender as the "socialized obverse of sex" a decade earlier, in 1945."

[Smashingdoozy]

Is that enough for you?

[Juxtapose]

He didn't popularize it though and cause all this stuff to happen. He didn't conduct these sick experiments and propagated this ideology to the public.

That is better though, thank you. I appreciate it when people can engage and if you get sick of it just let me know.

[RebelinSteel]

Zero problems, bathrooms and spare bedroom (not my bedroom though lol). Just part of life. It’s one of those things in life that should be readily available.

[Still-alive]

Only issue is if anyone tries to flush them instead of throwing them out. who does that? pfft

anyways yeah no issues lol

[Smashingdoozy]

The amount of people that are shocked that you're not meant to flush tampons 🤐

[Still-alive]

yup all the transphobes on the site coming out of the woodwork for this one lol

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I have no issue and never did, they were women of the house to use menstrual products, plus I am mature and totally respect any woman.

[KittyKat90210]

I don't have a problem with it. What I don't understand is what difference it makes to someone who doesn't need them.

[Smashingdoozy]

Makes no difference at all for someone who doesn't need them. But can save the day for someone who does! Also can see it being useful if the womans bathroom is out

[JohnK123]

Especially if it’s a little box or whatever holds it stuff lol

[PBandJ_Nerd]

There isn't much. Except those who decide to flush a tampon, pad, or wipe down the toilet. Sometimes people might see it an issue having to pay for them in the machines rather than it just being there for free to use.

[mstbooblover]

Honestly, what's the problem with menstrual products in the bathroom if I have a wife, or a girlfriend visiting me regularly? A bathroom remains a private place, and every procuct associated with its use seems normal to me...

[itsannalee]

I lived with women, i have 2 sister and we all have different bathroom each person. And i don’t like people to enter my bathroom😂

[EnjoytheDay777]

No issue at all. I've had plenty of female roommates and they have all their stuff in the bathroom... I couldn't care less.

[Anonymous]

Um, have not seen them in awhile but I do know transgenders would use them or whoever. hahaha

[loveslongnails]

It's just a GOP thing they want to prop up as leading to the end of civilization and life as we know it in the USA, because they have nothing better to bark about. LOL

[Wiredone]

I don't think they would do women any good if they were in the men's bathroom. They would be no use to us.

[Smashingdoozy]

Trans men and non binary people may menstruate and feel more comfortable using the men's restroom 😊

[NathanDavis]

I just don't go into public bathrooms... so I don't really have a say about it

[ChicoFromThe305]

I heard tampons sometimes get stuck, that sounds unsettling tbh

[Smashingdoozy]

Eh it's pretty rare.

[ChicoFromThe305]

Still fresh knowledge to me 😂

[Smashingdoozy]

It's not difficult to get out. People just panic. Can't go very far it's a dead end

[ChicoFromThe305]

The first time I heard there was 3 holes down there I was flabbergasted, tampon = dead end

Noted 🤓 📝

[nawtee_me]

Where else would they be? I am all for it being there.

[MrGSpotHer]

Just for clarity in public toilets or at home when there is one or somewhere where there is just one toilet like unisex toilets or something?

[Smashingdoozy]

Everywhere

[MrGSpotHer]

Well why though men don't need women's stuff in a women's toilets makes sence

[Smashingdoozy]

Trans men, non binary people, in case of emergencies when the women's bathroom run out, you get really bad nose bleeds 👻

[MrGSpotHer]

I only agree with biology I've never used anything like that for a noise bleed. Almost every shop sells that stuff and it's probably way cheaper if anything just put it outside both the toilets probably won't need 2 then, I don't care I just don't know why it needs to be in men tran is not man or woman they want to do something else biology don't make room for so they need their own toilet don't they I mean female acting like a man isn't to bad but men acting like women and using their toilets is just not acceptable is it, they should not be around kids either should they?

[Anonymous]

Public bathrooms are actually restrooms, and can be either "single occupancy" or "communal". Communals should never have products exclusively meant for women in the mens rooms

[Smashingdoozy]

But what if you get really bad nose bleeds

[Opinion Owner]

There's TP and paper towels. I've never needed menstrual products for nose bleeds

[Smashingdoozy]

But they absorb it right up

[Smashingdoozy]

Channing Tatum agrees

[Opinion Owner]

Any guy is free to bring in "menstrual products" of his own into the restroom if he chooses.

[Dargil]

I don't dispute it being there but I dispute a government mandate for it.

[Anonymous]

Would you play a music recoding to a person with no sense of hearing?

[Smashingdoozy]

Yes... Deaf And HOH people love music 🙃

[Opinion Owner]

if you believe that you are a fool. I know people who were deaf their whole lives and they'd be offended if i deliberately bought them music while fully knowing they can't hear it.

[Smashingdoozy]

Weird I know a few deaf and HOH people and they love when I get them music... I guess you're just uneducated 😊

[Opinion Owner]

your clearly a troll

[Smashingdoozy]

I'm literally being serious.

[Smashingdoozy]

I honestly just want you to know at this point that deaf people do enjoy music. They feel the vibrations that the music creates, that's how they "listen". Saying deaf people can't enjoy music is like Saying blind people can't enjoy movies. It's just wildly untrue.

[John_Cobretti]

Not in Men's or Boys bathroom like how Tim Walz wants

[animesenpai]

I don't care honestly. I don't see an issue if you don't need something done use it

[Anonymous]

There's no reason for menstrual products to be in the men's room because women shouldn't be in there.

[Anonymous]

Just something else for the taxpayer to pay for

When are the Dems getting on with the genocide I'm guessing after November

[WhitneySnow]

No issue at all. I think it’s a great idea.

[Anonymous]

I also would not buy a hat for someone who clearly has their head up their ass. Like someone who thinks boys need products designed for a vagina.

[KittygosMeoWW]

I have no issue with that

[power_wolf]

this doesn't affect me at all

Does anyone have issues with that? lol

[Nik1hil]

My issue is , I Ignore them!

[msc545]

They are unneeded in men's restrooms.

[Smashingdoozy]

That's just not true

[msc545]

You think men use them?

[Smashingdoozy]

Yes.

[msc545]

What do you think we use them for?

[Smashingdoozy]

Trans men sometimes need them. Non binary people. (Whether you like that or not) They can also be useful if the women's are out (which they often are)

[msc545]

Men, trans or not, do not have vaginas that bleed. Non-binary people should use the women's restroom if they have a vagina. If the women's room is out then that is their problem -- not ours.

[Smashingdoozy]

Trans men have vaginas buddy.

[msc545]

They do not. At most, they have a surgically created hole. They do not have fallopian tubes or a uterus or ovaries, and they do not menstruate.

Take another human anatomy class.

[Smashingdoozy]

A trans man is female to male... Google is your friend.

[msc545]

A trans man has a penis and no female sex organs.

[Smashingdoozy]

No. Trans man is female to male transition. Trans woman is male to female transition.

[msc545]

You know what? I really don't care. Not my problem.
