Columbia should pay for my period

Columbia Spectator ^ | 2/19/2016 | Courtney Couillard

[Revelation 911]

a great idea - on top of it we should obligate those who menstruate to wear a big red M on their shirts as it makes many people uncomfortable

...or at least obligate them to live in a menstruation hut as the whole notion makes some people uncomfortable

."the bears can smell it"

we can also make them wear a masking scent - I propose "sex panther" - because 40% of the time - it works 100%

. We need to encourage male allies to support women's health care needs even if they may not menstruate themselves.

Pity the menstruating man!

[palmer]

I thought we were supposed to label satire.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The latest War On Women issue to drive them all to the polls in November (and make the rest of us really regret the 19th. Amendment).

[Xenodamus]

You are being sarcastic, I hope.

[samtheman]

Every single one of them has a cellphone. Every single one.

And not just a cell phone, an expensive smart phone. Every single one.

And not just an expensive smart phone, a monthly data plan, minimum $40/month.

Every single one.

And they all drink coffee at coffee shops that are more expensive than Starbucks, because Starbucks is now out of style, since too many icky normal Americans like it.

And the all drink expensive cappa-frappa-lattes, never just coffee with cream.

They are spoiled beyond belief, they are stupid beyond belief and they are uneducated beyond belief.

Thank the NEA. They have trained a generation of cretins.

Courtney Couillard: Columbia should pay for my period

Only if you donate the blood to the Red Cross.

[Pearls Before Swine]

The Engineering Student Council?

Come on, you’re engineers, you’re supposed to be able to figure this out!

[Buckeye McFrog]

That’s why I am convinced the country will go Socialist.

Once a few more of us pass on to that great Tea Party in the sky, and a more of the Bernie voters’ younger siblings turn 18, it will be game over.

[Prov1322]

If they won't pay for the period, will they at least consider reimbursing for semicolons?

[Rummyfan]

sufficient financial resources to frequently purchase sanitary products. And even if the sales tax is removed from these products, we must still front the cost to pay for other menstruation-related items, such as pads, DivaCups, painkillers, and birth control. If you were to go to Duane Reade and buy a box of 36 tampons, it would cost you roughly $8. Depending on the heaviness of your menstrual flow, you could potentially end up going through one box (or even more) during your cycle. Assuming a single cycle requires one box of tampons, a person could end up spending $96 a year. And this price only holds if you assume all people just use tampons--most people will end up spending far more on other period products.

Maybe she should give up her iPhone?

Honestly, I read this and think we have truly gone through the looking glass.

[barefoot_hiker]

Wait, this is satire right?

[Malone LaVeigh]

[JimRed]

Do the virgins at Columbia (both of them) get free pads instead of invasive tampons?

[hal ogen]

In interest of equal rights, do guys get free tampons also?

[Political Junkie Too]

She wants someone to pay for her periods, and you want someone to pay for your apostrophes? ;-)

-PJ

[Jaded]

There are no words for these entitled little brats.

[JimRed]

In interest of equal rights, do guys get free tampons also?

No, but they've been getting free condoms, so it's a wash.

[hal ogen]

But...it isn’t “exactly” the same. Microagression I’d say...
