That's gold.

But I think it must be a parody.
Look at his twitter, such gems as...
"The next generation must be taught to think exactly like me."
"Straight white males do *not* have my consent to read my book. I’m calling the police."
"Now that Biden has ensured that trans athletes can compete in women’s sports, no doubt the bigots will be complaining about how they tend to win all the medals. Maybe they’re just better women?"

Oh, Titania is parody but whatever the account links to is the nutty wokey garbage or something that wokeydokies *will* find 'problematic' - Titania merely adds to the dropjaw

Should they both have just sneered and “mocked” the poor people who menstruate instead?

It’s a, very, real and growing concern. At least they are discussing it publicly.

And, as members of a, growing, political party they will, almost certainly, be involved in “lobbying” to eradicate this blight on the poorer people who menstruate in this country.

Seems a perfectly reasonable concern to me.

There are likely women who have to make the choice between tampons, and something else that might also be needed.

There are quite a lot of people in Ireland on or below minimum wage for one reason or another, and Ireland is not an inexpensive country to live in, especially if you have children, and a low income.

TBH I figure that both tampons and condoms should be subsidized by the State, and make them both easily accessible for everyone. They shouldn't be a concern for anyone.

Well, I was 11 when I got my period. Too young to get a part time job to buy them for myself. What if I was from a below-the-breadline family? And getting your period that young isn’t that unusual.

this is interesting to know - unless they went to the most marginalized in society there is no way 50% of Irish girls don't have access to tampons.
50% !!

Can you verify what "can't afford" actually means? Cos I'd be sure a 12 year old couldn't afford them but I'd expect parents and guardians too.
I'm not saying it doesn't happen but their parents and guardian would be getting the 140 pm for their upkeep and if they were adults we have a top shelf welfare system that the poor can access.

so we have two things here - shocking parenting or mis-management of monies received.
poverty is not when you spend your money on other things.

These days poverty is a very flexible thing. For example, the millennials drinking their pumpkin lattes in starbucks while complaining on the social media that they can't afford a mortgage because they just got the new mac airbook pro - that's real poverty.

I beg your pardon, middle-aged men posing as women for the purposes of cheap titillation is right on. Otherwise you are a patriarchal oppressor and I'm sprinting to the nearest social media platform to register my outrage.

This woke wave has taught me one thing - it doesn't matter how rabid left you get, there is always someone more rabid than you with a twitter account to try to shame you.
This is why the rabid left will always become more extreme as time goes by and eventually will eat itself.
But as they do their thrashing and battling will hurt a lot of normal people.

I think it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better though. I'm genuinely concered because wokeims comprises so many contencious issues all wrapped up in one, it's like the perfect bomb.

+1. I think there are too many people who aren't intelligent enough to live without religion, so they have made one up.

Most religions go through a trial and error process, as their tenets are tested in the real world, (usually involving wars ), before maturing....

So I would agree it's going to cause a lot of grief.

bar the homeless who number quite small in terms of women , i dont believe many cant afford sanitary products , certainly not enough for it to have its own sub category of activism

when it comes to the WOKE however , doesnt matter if the cause is trans Roma gypsies , its a big deal if they decide its worth clicks

I find it hard to believe tampons or sanitary towels cannot be afforded. You’d want to be seeing a persons incomings and outgoings before taking that as fact.

Most people I know are bad with money management.

You pay for all your essentials before you spend on luxury items.

It's been done for millennia, but 2021 it's no longer "natural" to breastfeed and it may apparently cause mams to not vaccinate their kids.

Of course this is so transphobic as it never even mentions male fathers who have given birth and chestfeed. Bigots.

I bet no one would dare say that is not 'natural'.

Kingp35

I would consider myself very 'anti-woke' but period poverty is a thing and doesn't deserve to be in this thread. Tampons are an essential item and should be subsidised by the state and be available for free in school bathrooms. This should not be a controversial opinion.

That is what the end result is.
It's not about equality anymore, that is already achieved. Now it's about shifting resources further.

Equality is having the same opportunities, whether you are Indian or African.
Equity is getting the same result, whether you are Indian or African.

It won't stop there. Just as females were pushed into positions of leadership using "positive discrimination", this will happen too for immigrants.
The problem then of course becomes the self-doubt - "Did I get this job because I am good at what I do, or am I a token leader?"

Well, getting one’s period as young as 10 or 11 isn’t unusual now. The age has been reducing for a long time. Do you imagine that none of those 10 or 11 year olds live in poverty? Statistically, there has to be some who do. And they’re too young to work to earn money to buy those products.

So what, are you surprised?
If you're coming for a middle class (or above) background, you're educated and you earn above average, you have no criminal convictions then you are privileged and you display all the necessary signs of white privilege. Even if you're black.
