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.

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.

Well said

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.

Remind me to never again visit Oregon.

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

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.

So the question is why are the products going to be in the men’s room? Since when do men menstruate?

Pray these loons do not move east . These liberal morons are a disgrace to this country.

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.

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

“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.

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

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.

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.
