I have no idea, but could it be that hospitals charge patients for tampons, but not for razors?

I think hospitals charge for everything, right down to the stupid booty socks they make you wear, and I can't see how they would be even expected to provide razors for general grooming purposes.
Plus, I doubt they'd have tampons. They'd have pads, as most of the patients needing the items wouldn't be in a condition to use tampons.

Is there a Facebook equivalent to "Harry's Razors"?  Perhaps "Patty's Plugs"?    ???

Okay ladies of APS, why are you holding out on the guys on this free razor thing? I want in!



Being as I haven't bought a razor since Spring of 1994 I guess it's partly my burden to bear.

I have no idea what this sign is saying. I mean, I can read the individual words, but who is "they"? Men, I assume? Since when have men NOT paid for razors? I've always paid for mine, and I've never heard any males reporting a source of free razors.

Katie Hopkins doesn't seem to be entirely sympathetic to "the cause," but she does offer a fairly cogent perspective on the march: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4144242/KATIE-HOPKINS-Having-vagina-biology-not-argument.html

Took a couple seconds of googling. That photo was obviously taken in Trafalgar Square so I thought something was wonky.

Google said it was about a UK tax on feminine products. It's not in the US. It was largely due to the EU regulations, which have minimum tax rules. Sanitary products were deemed "luxury" items, and thus subject to a 5% tax. Men's razors were classed as "essential" and not subject to VAT. It is completely logical to view that as completely stupid and counter to simple logic. As razors are not essential and feminine hygiene products are essential. Some people got more worked up about the matter than probably warranted, but the underlying issue is legitimate. I'd be pissed too.

My bad. I grabbed it from a Twitchy thread of signs at the women's march and didn't pay attention to the background.

I was scratching my head too, pretty much thinking "WTF". Then looked at the dome and said "Hey, that looks kinda familiar..."

It's hard keeping track of all the global outrage of the day things. This one is pretty legit, plenty of others are much less so.

Hospitals charge for everything they can, yes. I worked in a for-profit ER for a while and we had to scan *everything* before giving it to a patient. Except for the crutches. Apparently Medicaid/Medicare says you can't charge for those, so those didn't get scanned. Or given out very often.

Most hospitals I've worked in or have visited have courtesy tampons and pads in every bathroom... Razors, on the other hand, weren't available in the ERs period - they were a "safety hazard". In fact, the only razors I've seen in those hospitals are locked up in emergency defibrillation kits and in the OR rooms.

Subject to a mandatory tax when produced, new purchases require federal paperwork and background check (though some used transfers do not), about a thousand laws on sizing/shapes/accessories, laws on storage and handling, not all models are legal in all states, people are agitating to make oversized versions a felony, etc etc

Sometimes I wonder about some of the Hollywood types...do they do things like this because they believe in it, or do they make the choice to appear to believe in such things because it helps their career?
