From Fox News: Lawmakers in New Jersey have advanced what they call a “menstrual equity” mandate that would require public colleges and universities to provide free menstrual products to students following a 38–0 Senate vote on Feb. 24.
“Period poverty places students in a vulnerable position where they must weigh the choice between buying period products or other basic essentials like clothing or food. This barrier disproportionately affects students of color, who already face greater inequities in higher education,” state Sen. Angela V. McKnight, D-Hudson, said in a recent statement quoted in Insider NJ.
“This initiative has seen success in other states and public universities nationwide, making it time for New Jersey to adopt a similar approach to improve health, safety, and the overall student experience,” McKnight said.
The legislation, introduced Jan. 13 and sponsored by McKnight and state Sen. Majority Leader M. Teresa Ruiz, directs the president of each public institution of higher education to convene a menstrual equity task force.
The report explains that the bill requires the “menstrual equity task force” to “advance efforts toward achieving menstrual equity and, within six months of the law taking effect, identify the number of students seeking free menstrual products, potential distribution locations, proposals to expand access, the estimated cost of the plan and a timeline for the plan.”
Below are just some of the comments being posted on X, in reaction to the report:
“Menstrual Equity”? This is proof the human race has lost its collective fucking mind.
NJ Senate votes 38–0 to require free menstrual products at public colleges under ‘menstrual equity’ bill… because POC have to choose between tampons and food??!! What a disgusting racist assumption!! 🤬🖕
And I thought CT was bad. The supreme retards of NJ almost have them beat! And EVERYONE know when “equity” is mentioned it’s 100% Marxism. NJ clearly likes to cater to their violence prone mentally ill population.
Democrats gone crazy.
Elected officials have gone utterly and completely mad!
WYF is going on in this country?????
