Feeling Rebloggy
The Arizona prison system currently provides a maximum of 12 pads per month to all women inmates, forcing them to ration the way they manage periods, “free bleed,” or rely on unsanitary, solutions.
The bill introduced by Arizona state representative Athena Salman would change the arbitrary rules and enable women to access unlimited sanitary pads as needed — but first it had to pass the nine-man committee. Though they expressed their discomfort with some of the testimony, the men voted five-to-four to allow the bill to proceed to the House floor for a full hearing.
We need more women in positions of power. Women need to move out of the position of having to beg men to understand menstrual flow, sexual assault at work, and how sexual harassment is not nothing.
The only way to stop begging men to understand or "believe us" is to have 50% of the power in this country.
