Oregon law requires menstrual products in boys bathrooms (https://nypost.com/2022/05/06/oregon-law-requires-menstrual-products-in-boys-bathrooms/?msclkid=33e1fabccd9f11eca95245d0bfade50d)

Oregon instituting MDA (Menstrual Dignity Act) affecting Oregon Elementary schools through college. Perhaps in place in Illinois and other states.

What a good practical and economical idea!!

Why wasn't our generation smart enough to be so thoughtful? Shame on us.

[Stu from NYC]

Is nothing private? Disgusting and disgraceful

[retiredguy123]

Reminds me of those signs in the restroom, "Do not flush feminine products down the toilet". I always make it a point to tell the receptionist that I didn't flush any feminine products down the toilet.

How about the signs in most bathrooms:

I guess the genral public is ok with not washing their hands.

It's called menstruation or period.
Menstruation, or period, is normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a woman's monthly cycle. Every month, a female prepares for pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, the uterus, or womb, sheds its lining. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from inside the uterus.

Thank you for the info but what is the point of putting sanitary napkins in the boys bathroom? Teach this in sex ed when the teenagers are old enough to understand or parents says ok.

I cannot unsee this thread. Believe you me, I have tried.

America has lost its collective mind.

Lunatic leftwing extremists are playing right into the hands of the right, who have their own terrifying extremists.

Not only that………

Here we have the loonies on the left, trotting out these shrines to idiocy. While they think they are being all loving and supportive, what they are doing is not only asinine, it is cruel and actually a form of misogyny and a blatant invasion of privacy — but that seems to be the thing these days.

I taught secondary ed for 35 years. I did not take the comment from Two Bills as flippant. I took it as insightful. I know that is exactly the kind of thing that is going to happen. These misled morons in Oregon cannot comprehend that they are introducing opportunities for girls to be diminished and mocked by boys — but that is all the rage now, too. A uterus should be private territory.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

Maybe they should hang pictures of male anatomy in the girls’ bathrooms, varying sizes, dispositions, etc., so the girls know what they can expect someday, and to be respectful. Would the girls talk about those pictures? You betcha. Would the boys become self-conscious? (rhetorical question, did not need a question mark.) Under these nutty circumstances out there in Oregon — seems fair to me.

Extremists on one side are nailing Democracy’s coffin shut, and the extremists on the other side are handing them the nails.

I wish I had never opened this thread. I thought it was going to be about CD rates.

My mother used to love to tell the story of my big brother, when he was about 6 years old, in the back yard with his fingers in his ears after lighting the "fuse" of a tampon.

Our schools had the "group" bathrooms that were segregated as boys room or girls room.

But we ALSO had single-stall bathrooms that were also segregated. These singular bathrooms were located near the ends of the hallways, and in high school they also had some near the music/drama/arts and crafts departments.

If a girl felt like she was about to get her period and ran to the girl's room but the door was locked (because someone was in it) she'd check the boy's room. If it was unlocked, she'd go in there instead.

Because no one really cared who used which bathroom. When you're bleeding like a stuck pig, it doesn't matter what little plastic figure is on the door.

[skyking]

Remind me to never again visit Oregon.

[Blackbird45]

Why in the boy's bathrooms? Are they requiring condoms in the girl's bathroom?

That’s probably for the transgender girls who think they are boys.

[Linnberg]

“Extremists on one side are nailing Democracy’s coffin shut, and the extremists on the other side are handing them the nails.”

Finally an objective statement showing awareness of the real problem. How long is it going to take for everyone to understand the issue isn’t either party, it’s the ends of both parties that is destroying our country. We need for compromise to stop being a bad word and the normal people from both parties to take charge again. That is what true democracy is.

THEY TEACH THAT IN SCHOOLS?!?!? They need to pass a law to keep that out of schools! Lol.:1rotfl:

I believe 99% of us are acceptably normal…..the other 1% get into politics….and media…

[GizmoWhiskers]

Apparently since women can grow go-nads now and can still have babies at the same time while being in prison or the military even. Truely a miracle hugh?!?. We are living in twisted sickness times.

[Stu from NYC]

The strange thing is some company will pay to put a dispenser in the boys room and fill it with tampons which will never get used.

Makes one wonder how anyone ever justified such a stupid idea.

[Bay Kid]

Maybe girls don't feel safe in the girl's bathroom anymore?

[GOLFER54]

The outrageous changes in our society today will only reinforce the next generation to be totally confused about their genders, behaviors and sexuality.

It is just another tactic in the mission to destroy traditional values and the nuclear family.

What Comes After the Nuclear Family? | The Nation (https://www.thenation.com/article/society/nuclear-family-progressive-critique/) (Progressives need to articulate a new philosophy of family life.)

The principles and traditions that made America the greatest nation ever are roadblocks to achieving the goal of establishing a progressive utopia where rugged individualism and religious teachings are supplanted by government dictates and indoctrination.

REALLY? You actually thought that it was necessary to explain this to us?
There are boundaries folks, yes this is a public forum of such but proper decorum and a modicum of social restraint is necessary.
What is next, a detailed explanation of copulation or some such nonsense?

[A-2-56]

You are so insensitive. This is a move to make the transgenders more accepted. Don’t you agree that a group that is far less that 1% of the population deserves special laws, investment of public capital and your consideration?

[cherylncliff]

Perhaps all you arch conservatives who think this is disgusting (as noted in several comments) should go read the actual law and the rationale and ruling behind it and note that it was driven by the children and youth at the schools. Then go talk to some females who have actually had to face this issue and get their opinions before all you male narcissists get on your high horses.

No one has said the dispensers are a bad thing in girls bathrooms.
It is the shear stupidity, and waste of money of putting them in boys bathrooms, where not a single boy will ever have need of one.

Well if the girls restroom is out of them they can ask a boy who can go into the boys restroom and get it and bring her one. If that is not the worlds biggest stretch have no ideas what it is.

[Stu from NYC]

Just read a synopsis of this law and apparently they want young boys to understand what females go thru during their periods. So the tampons will be free for the taking.

As someone posted wait till young boys take some and run thru the hallways making a mockery of this.

[meme5x]

This whole gender thing is out of control… be who you want to be but quit jamming it down everyone’s throat.. what I do think is wrong is transgender boys to girls playing on sports teams… not fair … they’re still stronger and generally bigger.

[Gettingoutofdodge]

My brother’s class went on a field trip in the early 60’s. He was 10 years old. The group ate lunch at a place that had a single use bathroom. There was a metal Box that said “napkins” on the wall in the bathroom. He needed to wipe his hands so he put a nickel in and got his napkin. He used it and folded it and put it in his shirt pocket. That night at dinner (there were 5 of us, 3 were girls) my mom pulled the napkin out of his pocket and asked him where he got it. He told her the story and said he couldn’t understand what the safety pins were for. We were hysterical laughing. Gone are the wonderful days of naivety.

Are you comparing a male contraceptive with a female hygiene product? Because the two aren't comparable. Unless you're saying a boy needs to wear a condom during school in case he "leaks" every month spontaneously, and makes a mess all over his trousers? In which case - he probably would want to see a doctor about that.

Thanks. I think you just provided the best answer why tampons are not needed in the boys room. If a boy needs a tampon for that type of leak, he should certainly run for a doctor.

Some things just don't make sense whether it is Oregon or anywhere.

feeling sad today. can everyone please send cute pictures of their credit card, front and back!

[Luggage]

It actually makes a lot of sense since a girl that is shy does not want to take one in her bathroom to tell other girl she has her. She perhaps can ask a boy to take one out and give it to her privately and put it in her purse or pocket. And since they probably going to be all gone in the girls room all the time there will be extras in the boys rooms

[bonrich]

It took a 26 page directive to buy a dispenser and hang it on a wall.

[OrangeBlossomBaby]

The law (I read it in its entirety) specifies that at least two bathrooms need to have them, and they need to be made available to any/all genders. Most schools have a boys "group" bathroom with multiple stalls, a girls "group" bathroom with multiple stalls, and a "gender unspecified" single-stall bathroom (usually used by teachers but not always exclusive to them).

So the schools can put one up in the girls room and one in the non-specific room. They're not obligated to put one up in the boys' room unless there's no non-specific one. That would cover the requirements of the law.

You are right. This is wrong. Wrong on so many levels.

A bunch of grownazz men are making fools of themselves with their rude, crude posts, not only making themselves look bad, but making TOTV look bad, too.

Pack behavior. Pathetic pack behavior. On and on. Page after page. Grownazz men.

Would they behave like this in real life? I doubt it -- or do I?

It is highly noticeable that there are plenty of men among us here on TOTV who would never post in such a manner.

That makes sense.? Don't use the girls room cause they all share the same monthly secret. Get a boy to get one from the boys room. All the guys will make fun of him until he reveals the name of the girl who is in need of this product. Privacy is gone. Sorry.
