Misogynists melting down over the fact that Scotland is ending period poverty
It is ridiculous the number of comments I’ve seen and heard about how “sexist” it is that Scotland is providing free period products.
I’m not even talking about the legitimate questions being asked about how a cis man is qualified to be the “period officer” or whatever. I mean just the number of outright misogynists foaming at the mouth over the thought that menstruating people in ONE country now have access to period products.
“i sHoULd gEt fReE cOnDoMs” (you can...go to a health department)
“iT’s nOT fAiR”
“LaZy wOmEn rELyiNg oN hAnDoUtS”
“nExT iT WiLL bE fReE BiRtH cOnTrOL” (I thought you wanted free condoms...?)
Like oh my gosh. This is a GOOD thing, the pink tax is a real burden, menstruation isn’t something “optional” really, and every one of these troglodytes was born from someone who menstruated. Get the fuck over it. Menstruation is a fact of life. 50% of the population does it. It shouldn’t be a big deal.
I don’t hear them whining over public restrooms providing free toilet paper. Why are they bent out of shape about free menstrual products? In a country they don’t even live in. (the vast majority of negative comments I’ve seen/heard are from Americans).
The answer? Misogyny. Pure and simple.
I’m so tired of this.

I don't know where else to post this but Im disgusted about the DeShawn Watson news
I'm really sorry if this isn't allowed as I'm a man and I know this is really a sub for woman's rights & sisterhood. But it was just leaked that the NFL (National Football League) will be giving Deshaun Watson (the current highest paid player) a slap on the wrist for Sexually Assulting upward of 30 women. Many of whom came forward with shockingly disturbing stories. He will miss only 11 games and be fined $5million out his $240+ million FULLY GUARANTEED contract that was structured to protect him from such punishment.
If there's outcry over someone like Matt Gaetz speaking to High Schoolers, can we also get an outcry over this sexual predator who has shown time and time again that he doesn't believe he did anything wrong. So much so he threatened to sue the NFL if they suspended him for such actions.
I was getting my niece into sports and she loves football but I can't in good conscience let a little girl support & dream to play in a sport that openly disrespects woman's rights.
I've compiled a list of the contact info I could find for many sponsors for the Browns/NFL & i'm asking if your also disappointed/disgusted with this outcome, please let the companies know you will not be buying their products while they support Sexual Assult.
Again I apologize if this is not okay to post here.

Don’t assume you’re safe even in California
I had to get a procedure done today and made a joke with my boyfriend when they told me the pregnancy test was negative, “thank god, we’d have to find the nearest planned parenthood!”
And the (woman) nurse smugly said “well, the laws are changing, but we won’t talk about that.”
It was a cold reminder that even in a metro area in California there are people who support us losing our rights. Even in the medical care field.

I asked him how he was feeling now that I moved out. He said, “the apartment seems dirtier for some reason” …
I(25F) didn’t live with my ex(28M) but I still stayed in his apartment a lot to the point where we practically lived together. We were certainly building up to moving in together, until we broke up.
He worked a lot and because I would stay in the apartment to study and do freelance work during the day, I would also clean up a little. Even though we were both busy working, I didn’t have anywhere to drive. So I would clean his apartment for him once a week(beyond me cleaning up after my own self). It seemed fair because I was there a lot but didn’t pay rent, water, electric, etc. It was also out of love because he toured and had a crazy work schedule, and often came back exhausted. I wanted what little time we had together to actually be spent together instead of him exhausting himself further.
A few days ago he called to see when I could return his apartment key, and I asked how he was feeling with all of my things gone. He said “it feels a lot dirtier for some reason.”
And it hit me, he never even noticed that I cleaned, did laundry, vacuumed, cleaned tables, picked up all his empty water bottles, etc.
They just magically maintained themselves.
When I told him why it likely seemed dirtier to him, he was so confused and just went silent. I don’t know what that was about. But how clueless he was is baffling to me.
EDIT: I DID communicate that I cleaned during the relationship. I just don’t think he realized how much of a difference it made.
EDIT 2: idk why anyone would think I need to be reported to “Reddit cares” but I can promise you that I am fine. Stop abusing that.
