anti-feminism-pro-equality: paradisebythe-dash-boardlight: anti-feminism-pro-equality: To the first anon, I am AFPE nice to meet ya To the second guy/girl/whatever you are I repeat, I dont give a flying fuck. To the third guy, because we pay taxes on everything, grow the fuck up. As a female, I am telling you to get over it, your period is not special. Period’s aren’t special, but that doesn’t mean we should have to pay a fucking fortune for sanitary products. Even reusable products that are supposed to save money, cost so much in the short term that for people on low incomes, they aren’t really a means that can be considered. And I don’t think women should have to choose between quality and quantity. This is me speaking as an average woman you’d meet on the streets. Sure Asda do pads in a pack of 20 for about £1, but they leak considerably more than the likes of Always or Bodyform. Though I’ll be honest, this is a FEMALE issue, not a feminist one. Anything better is going to cost more. We pay for water. We are taxed on food. Better food is more expensive. Out of date food gets sold at 10% price i dont see you complaining about all the people who cant afford good food getting sick off of out of date food. Good toilet paper is more expensive that shitty (no pun intended) toilet paper. As such, good pads and tampons cost more than the not so good ones and even the not so good ones work just fine for me and this is embarrassing but I have what we call a “heavy flow” so you need to get the fuck over it. I get 40+ pads for less than five bucks and I never have a leak. Seriously, this isnt an issue for women, its an issue for the cheap and selfish. Well that’s nice and everything for those who are able to work and afford it! But there are people like me who can’t work (in my case due to mental illness and disability) and don’t have that kind of money to waste. If condoms can cost less, then why the hell can’t decent sanitary products. But yeah, way to go rubbing in your privilege like that. Not everyone is fortunate to afford the best products for the job, I’m okay cheaping out on just about everything, except for sanitary products - simply down to the cheaper ones containing chemicals that flare up and damage my skin. And I’m not cheap or selfish, nor do I see how the two are mutually exclusive. I simply refuse to pay outrageously high prices on basic essentials, I don’t have the money to waste like that, I’m scrimping and saving solely to surprise my close family members and fiance at Christmas - what is so selfish about that? Actually the phrase you’re looking for is thrifty and there is fuck all wrong with that. But you feel free to rub in the fact you’re financially a lot better off than most people. That works.

Well thats just too fucking bad for you isnt it? Use a rag and wash it out every day fuck.

And condoms cost five dollars for three. I get pads five dollars for forty. I dont know where YOU’RE shopping but if you cant work and pay for shit, how the FUCK do you afford wifi or service to get on Tumblr? Shop cheaper. Thats life, get the fuck used to it.

And I do get the cheap ones, I fucking TOLD you that. Privilege? I make minimum wage, I can hardly afford to feed my god damn self. I buy what I can fucking afford and I aint got no top of the line shit like you seem to think I do despite the fact that I said I get the cheap kinds. Fucking christ.

Im not rubbing anything in your god damn snobbish face. If you cant afford pads thats just too fucking bad for you. Thats life. Thats how life works. Get over it. Its not gonna change just because “im a woman and my vagina should be special and get free stuff” because, like I said, THATS NOT HOW LIFE. FUCKING. WORKS.

Get over it you selfish childish brat. Welcome to the real world.
