Either she is dead serious or this is great satire.

Sandra Fluke is campaigning for free stuff (female personal hygiene products) in the UK? She really gets around. I wonder who is bankrolling her?

I have hemorrhoids. I demand free Preparation H.

"But what if Id been in school that day, like so many other girls are without an extra pair of underwear or a
quarter in my pocket to plug into the vending machine?"
I'm thinking she'd need to plug a silver dollar into her "vending machine" to do the trick.

Yeah lady? Really? You should buy more razor blades if you think tampons are too expensive.

We also need free toilet paper, tooth brushes, tooth paste, Kleenex, Lysol, dish cleaning liquid, hot water, steak, veggies, hand soap...
The list goes on.

You just don’t get it.
“I need stuff.”
“Stuff costs money.”
Therefore:
“Stuff should be free.”

Of course, they shut down the comments section.
Earlier this year, Jyoti Sanghera, chief of the UN Human Rights Office on Economic and Social Issues, called the stigma around menstrual hygiene a violation of several human rights, most importantly the right to human dignity.
And this builds a case for free tampons how?

Yet somehow.....somehow.....women have handled this since the cave times.
And, hey, it’s no picnic, that’s for sure. But somehow, we’ve managed.
The cognitive dissonance of the 21st Century feminists is mind boggling.

“If everything was free: the economics of abundance (Utopian Laff Riot, But Thought-Provoking)”
I got very upset with The Next Generation Star Trek when they went all utopian. Captain Picard says, (approximately) “The economics of the twenty-fourth century are somewhat different. People no longer seek wealth. Life is about self fulfillment.” The only ones who made sense were the Feringee and they made them into ugly, nasty entrepreneurs. The writer’s unrealistic utopian socialism ruined the series for me, but I’d mostly dropped them already over their sickly sweet politically correct-isms.

I want free deodorant, bar soap and tooth paste and if I don’t get them, I’ll quit using them!

Why not toilet paper too? And razors and aftershave. And flush toilets for everyone too while we’re at it. And, hey - I’d like a new BMW! These people are insane.

The money is needed in England for free dental care.
Why not get Prince Chuck? He wants to be one doesn’t he?
