Women have somehow dealt with all those things for centuries.
Not everyone is going to have the same Life Experience.
You do what you’ve got to do to proceed.

That’s one Indian solution. On this side of the world perhaps Elizabeth Warren could teach these kids how to identify the mosses and ferns of the primordial forests?

But wait! We’re being told that trans-men (women who think they’re men) still menstruate (at least as long as they still have their lady-parts). So this article is incredibly politically incorrect in stating that menstrual products should be provided in women’s bathrooms. They have to be provided in men’s bathrooms as well, for the benefit of men who menstruate.

(That right there is a sentence I never imagined I’d ever type.)

We are so screwed....

Why not call some Billionaire Leftist to pay for their Tampons?

Soros, Steyer, Bezos, Cook, there are plenty out there. Heck, Amazon will even ship them free.

Can’t cost more than a typical student’s latte budget.

What utter BS this article is. Kotex and tampons are cheap (a lot cheaper than the smart phone that somehow they CAN afford) and women aren’t running around asking other women for “products” unless it’s one of those days where you ran out and you’re desperate, which is rare. This is lies from top to bottom.

"That's just a really common experience here," Applebach said. "No one should have to experience that."

Maybe they could become transgenders. That might solve the problem. 😁

So, these students can pay for college but not pony up $5-10 each month for sanitary products? What else must the government provide for these neotenous infants? I’ll bet they spend way more than that on drugs and beer.

I didn’t know how much such products cost, so I looked up one on Walmart’s site. Forty-eight of the items cost $9.27, or about 20 cents each.

How impoverished are these people?

No female personal responsibility for that which makes them uniquely female.

Men, and society (indirectly men), pay for us women.

If its a really common experience in college, we have a great number of very, very stupid young adult women enrolled.

A local station has a video.

https://www.13newsnow.com/video/news/community/student-group-pushes-for-menstrual-equality/291-8376139

Figuring out when their period may occur is too difficult ? They can’t budget either ? They are actually demanding government intervention in their va jay jays ?

They soon will find women hoarding “free” menstrual products and selling them elsewhere. Because they are not paying for them, they are “free”. They will take as many as they can, many women wil stil no get their free stuff, and some will go and sell it in other places because its free and money for college girls is so tight.

This is just more female demand for a societal institution to pay for them being women, yet one more way.

Well, if the situation for these women at CNU is called "period poverty" (as the title here says), perhaps the situation you refer to could be called "exclamation point poverty".
