i have been told that they are also available in the boys bathroom. Having feminine products placed the boys bathroom confuses / emasculates them.

The same group that removes their children from what limited sex education. Same guys that don't wipe their ass because it is too gay

    The relevant text of the law is

    The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district.

    so, I think "boys bathroom" only in the case where a school has trans-boy without puberty blockers or hormone therapy. Clearly a very edge case, but right-wing propaganda depends on blowing up rare events or special circumstances, pretending they're happening everywhere, all the time, and therefore an immediate threat to the way their audience has always done things.

    Remember when they were trying to say there was kitty litter boxes for the "Furry kids who identified as cats"

    It was only in schools in one specific area, and in order to have a way for students to shit during a school shooting because they were THAT common

    I think I can understand how it would be confusing to someone to have female sanitary products in a male bathroom at a school. I can understand that these people feel like this is part of what influences youth to develop a certain way, and they want to prevent this development at all costs.

    But it is really hard to stomach that there are people who think the existence of a tampon in someone's surrounding makes them question their gender, and removing the tampon restores order somehow.

    I know if I were a kid, I'd just be confused but that's about it. I mean, worst case scenario this is just an excuse for schools to double up on tampons and have more supplies for female students, a demographic that often has its needs ignored.

    I can understand how that would be confusing to someone, but access to a place where you can change a child's diaper, or get a necessary product for your daughter, should not be exclusive to places that are designated for women. Every conservative father should be able to relate to that. But I obviously am unable to relate myself.

    I would imagine a conservative man does not deal with dirty diapers in public, possibly not in private either. The child would remain with the mother until toilet trained.

    The general theme of the conservative meta is not understanding that others have needs different than their own.

    That's not the conversation, as I've heard it. The real rub is tampons in the boy's bathrooms, in schools, for 4th graders through high schoolers. Not involving diaper change stations or grabbing necessary product for daughters.
