That would be a nice gesture for the female students!

Ain't no gesture, tab is nearly 200k per year...


Why can't these female students handle their business like those in the past. In fact given the vast size and scope of the "feminine hygiene" section at most stores including discount and such just how much of an expense is it anyway?


Mark my words, those dispensers will be emptied out in less than half day after being filled. Meanwhile plenty of stuff is going to make its way out of schools and given to family, friends, etc...

It's like asking students to pay for their own paper towels and toilet paper.

NYC tampons coming to an ebay auction or craigslist ad near you...

I remember when the nyc condoms came out, they were available for sale in 3rd world countries, people snuck them back home. LOL

I guess BugsyPal thinks students should provide their own toilet paper as well. After all, why shouldn't they. It's their basic human function that's causing the need for toilet paper, so they should be responsible for paying for it.

And given how many places you can find toilet paper for sale, including all discount stores, it's a no brainer that all students should pay for and carry their own to school.

There also should be no free lunches for students who can't afford food. The need for food is also due to a basic human function, and everyone who has basic human functions should be able to pay whatever the cost is to satisfy or take care of that function.

No free anything for anyone.

Oh get over it, those are *NOT* the same things and you know so.


Are you telling me that every ladies room in the USA has free *supplies* or should because they do offer toilet paper and napkins free? My employer does not for a start. Know this because a few years ago some females started an "equality" bit to get free stuff in there and was told politely and firmly "bring your own". It was also pointed out there was not any "equality" about it since men do not have that problem.

I can't see how any sane human could object to this.
