Rant: Women and Hygiene

I just read an article that broke my heart. My heart literally broke and shattered to millions pieces then the government stood up and danced on my heart breaking it to a billion pieces. Thank you to the government for breaking my heart that had never been broken before in my life. You government, were literally my first heart break.



Get this. Okay. This was literally made me scream in anger! I was suddenly so frustrated with the government. Okay, I have never ever had a serious problem with the government because I never really took a interest in it until now. This topic suddenly make me take an interest in government and politics. So here it is.



The government will give out condoms to homeless shelters but they don't give out pads or tampons. I understand why they give out condoms but they should give out pads and tampons. Seriously who in their right minds thinks of giving out condoms but not pads and tampons?



First of all is it really a woman's fault for having her period? No I didn't think so. Women don't actually want periods and women shouldn't be expected to pay for it. So why should a homeless woman be expected to be ridiculed and degraded during their period for not being able to afford pads and tampons. It is so heartbreaking to know and think a woman who can't afford the basic needs to get through life should have to pay for pads and tampons while they are on their period.


I hope everyone who reads this share's thos and rallied behind organisations to help support them in giving out pads and tampons alongside condoms. Ladies everyone is behind you in this.
