"My point is that bitching about women's rights or tampons in 3rd world hellholes is pointless if you don't target the real problem - their culture and their economy is complete garbage."

It's so simple. A man can help put a baby in a woman's body. His sperm is half the equation, and therefore he's half responsible. But the baby is growing inside the woman's body, living off of her - it is, for all intents and purposes, a part of her body until it comes out. Since it's a part of her body, she decides…

If a man has unprotected sex with a woman he is exercising his reproductive rights. I a man has protected sex with a woman he is exercising his reproductive rights. Sex is for reproduction.

Threats of violence? Are you high?

You're kinda cute. *pat* *pat.* And if you took that as mocking MRA's. . . Well, you're clearly just a baby yourself. That's not mocking. If I wanted to mock I would, but eh, I'd actually rather go off to bed. Far better use of my time.

Dear, no one here's talking about men's reproductive rights, so hush if you can't stay on topic.

Sure, it never happens. The woman I worked with 10 years ago: her ex *wasn't* hiding his assets so that he could get away without supporting his own kids, right?

GTFO. It's very clear you are an MRA. "Threats of violence?" really??

As someone mentioned in another thread, if girls and women don't have access to feminine hygiene products, it greatly impedes their ability to go out in public during their period, which in turn affects their ability to secure consistent education and work, which is a major problem in poor countries, and is likely an…

I absolutely agree about taxing the NFL (although I seriously doubt a sport played almost exclusively in Nort America is the largest earning sport on the planet), but even those millions would hardly make a dent in a national healthcare system, although it would be a welcomed buffer.

Sure. My friend tried to get child support from her deadbeat ex. The government rep always came back with the same answer: "We can't find him." Which is strange, since he's a cop.

Breast feeding requires adequate nutrition for the mother. Even then, some women don't produce enough milk. But in this case, it sounds like a complete lack of information or possibly deficient intelligence.

Well, the US could more than make up for the loss by taxing the NFL, which is classified as a non-profit organization. Despite professional football being the largest money earning sport on the planet.

Because apparently empathy = socialism, or something.

I was at a wedding a few months back and a lady friend got her period. I had a pad in my purse but she wanted tampons. Her boyfriend bitched and moaned so much about having to make a stop on the way back to town, which was no surprise to me since he tends to do that about everything. My boyfriend, on the other hand,…

I would be absolutely a-ok with not paying tax on toothpaste, soap, and tampons/pads. We're talking extremely basic necessities here. Considering some of the shit that is tax free in the US? WEll worth it.

It's amazing how reticent many people still are about things like tampons or sanitary pads. My husband put out a FB status joking about how proud he was that he'd managed to get the right pads without needing specific instructions (he also brought me home a bar of chocolate, because he's a quick learner), and one of…

Excellent post.

Because only women need them. And we all know that we could all stop being women if we wanted to—we're just too stubborn and insist on doing "women-things" like having periods and babies. . .how selfish of us!

I wonder if she'd asked, "Anyone know a country where diapers are free or subsidized," if these over-blown responders would have jumped in with the same vitriol. Very likely, they would—-because the presumption is that if anyone even asks if anything is free or subsidized, that the person is a lazy bum trying to get…
