The thread of Campus Crazy Hijinks

Post by Forty Two » Mon Apr 17, 2017 4:15 pm

Alright, this thread will be about nonsense on college campuses in the current year, or future current years.

I just ran across this beaut.... https://www.thecollegefix.com/post/32162/

So, get this - the University of Wisconsin-Madison has decided to put tampon machines to distribute free tampons in restrooms....in this case, the men's rooms, because there might be a biological woman who identifies as a male, and who does not have her own tampons, and who can't get them from a friend, or the lady's room, or from the school store, or from the local pharmacy, or supermarket...and absolutely must, must, go into the men's room to acquire tampons....

...of course, the University of Wisconsin-Madison doesn't even see how they are carrying water for the CIS-normative patriarchal oppressors.... tampons? No mention of pads...some menstruating persons cannot wear tampons, and need pads....no thought for them, eh? And, what of those with light flow vs heavy flow - some need special feminine hygiene products, and there was no mention of that....

Some may inquire as to whether urinals were to be installed at in the ladies' rooms, but let me just stop you there. That's just MRA bullshit, and misogyny.

Kids these days, eh? Apparently a statue at the University of East Anglia is encouraging students to commit suicide.

https://heatst.com/culture-wars/student ... -suicides/
Students at a British university have lashed out at a provocative statue of a person  placed on the edge of the library roof in a way that makes it look like it’s about to jump off the building, with some saying it’s a “poor choice” as it might encourage students to commit suicide.
What's wrong with an old-fashioned panty raid, anyway? Now, that was some fun!
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Just having to live and work in Norwich is enough to drive many to contemplate suicide.

Its amazing the shit that bothers you. Who cares?

Regarding urinals in the ladies room, I think you'll find that us men can wee in sit down toilets just as easily.

You really don't get it, do you? Behind the seemingly innocuous and insignificant decision to provide tampons for free in all toilets lurks the gravest of dangers. It is the thin end of the wedge. If left unchecked, it will eventually but inevitably result in women's tyranny over men!

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

How dare a college do something thoughtful and considerate towards transgender people. This is reprehensible.

The number of students at the university of Wisconsin-Madison is about 43,000.

The number of female to male transgender is about 1 in 100,000 people. The number of female to male transgender who still have vaginas is something even less than that 1 in 100,000, as anyone who had female to male sex reassignment surgery would not need tampons. So, at any given time, the number of females who identify as males and who still menstruate, and who attend the university of Wisconsin-Madison is much less than 1/2 of a person (statistically, there will be such a person among the student body once in a while and sometimes years will go by without there being one). But, we need to have tampon machines in all the men's rooms. Sounds reasonable. As a thoughtful gift to otherkin cats, they'll be outfitting all restrooms with litter boxes.

I think I linked to it from the Drudgereport.com yesterday at some point. It's also been on the daily caller, daily mail and on msn.com http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/tampon ... vp-BBzXNiW

I haven't seen any reports on urinals being put in ladies' lavatories, though. I guess there isn't much of a need for that kind of inclusiveness. :thinks:
