My school caters to closet drug addicts but not menstruating women

Sorry, guys. I'm going to talk about it. Call it whatever you may like, but I prefer the scientific version- menstruation. All women do it, just like how we poop and pee and vomit, so I don't see why its such a taboo topic. Especially amongst men, but who cares about them anyways.

As my post title implies, yes, I am menstruating. Stupidly, I forgot to bring my "feminine bandaids" to school with me today because I had overslept and just felt lazy. I figured... eh! I can always just get the cheapo kinds for 25 cents at the bathroom, right?! NOT! I scoured the entire campus for a bathroom with these mini-pillows of goodness. It was like searching for the Holy Grail. I passed by countless numbers of high-tech vending machines for soda addicts (with a credit card systems to boot) and snack kiosks for sugar addicts but NO, no coin-turn operated tampon/pad/napkin dispensers, something I would consider a fundamental human need! Worst off, in every bathroom, I saw this:


How the hell can the school shell out the cash to have a dirty needle disposal receptacle conveniently placed next to private bathroom stalls, basically a welcome sign for drug addicts galore, and not install a woman's-best-friend dispensary that basically consists of slots drilled into metal (and would TAKE money)?

I was mad. I was so mad that during my scavenger hunt I came across this small sign with little letters on it that spelled out "Women's Resource Center." The sign pointed in the direction of a wooded area, but I trusted it. I walked through the plants, hiked up the hill, and came across this small hut the reminded me of my days in Africa. I went inside, was greeted by the nice receptionist, and I slammed my hand on her desk and was like "What the hell does a woman gotta do to get a damn tampon around here?" Startled, she explained to me that the Women's Resource Center provides complimentary tampons, which are donated to the center by "patrons," and I was free to take as many as I'd like. SCORE! Free tampons. I may never buy another feminine hygiene product again. But I still can't stop wondering... who in the hell actually takes the time out of their day to DONATE feminine hygiene products to the Women's Resource Center? Whoever you are. Keep doing it. And I'll do my part and go ahead and keep taking them.
