Men! Fight against the provision of free tampons with every means at your disposal! Your freedom is at stake!

And, no, it's not an "injustice." If you don't find it funny that there are tampons in a restroom where it's highly unlikely that a menstruating person will ever go, that's your view of it, and you're entitled to that. However, to me, it seems both silly and like a waste of money. How long will a machine full of tampons sit in the men's room before someone gets a tampon from it? 43,000 students -- far less than 1 in 100,000 people have vaginas and identify as a male -- of those, they menstruate probably 1/5 of the time -- so, the odds of anyone needing a tampon from the machine in the men's room on the fourth floor of Fuckwittery Hall is a tad bit better than winning the lottery. Moreover, tampons have expiration dates, and thus, if there are 100-odd tampons in the dispenser, most of them will inevitably have to be thrown away because of the absolute miniscule demand for men's room tampons.... I'd prefer they dedicate that additional resource to cleaning the place more often -- that way, someone in need of taking an emergency dump between Gender Identity in Pulp Science Fiction of the 1930's 301 and Postmodernist Critical Analysis of Capitalist Colonial America 312, won't go running in there to find a pristine, untouched tampon machine and a row of completely destroyed crappers waiting to be cleaned....
