Melbourne council calls on women to experiment with reusable menstrual products
In an era where womenâs rights are increasingly coming under threat from woke-left activism, a Melbourne council has called on women stop using tampons and parents to use cloth nappies
A Victorian council has decided to promote âeco-friendlyâ menstrual and childcare products that women have so far rejected in the free market.
Asking women to give up tampons and pads is unlikely to win Victorian councils much support. The pitch has been made to wealthy suburbs in Melbourne â partly due to the council reducing bin collections.
Starting in July, the council will discontinue weekly bin collections in favour of fortnightly ones to force residents to ârecycleâ more. This will leave household garbage rotting for an extra week, increasingly the likelihood of pests and disease festering in Melbourneâs wealthiest suburbs â all in the name of environmentalism.
Declining to collect rubbish in a timely fashion would ordinarily be viewed as a failure of the council, but Bayside Council has decided to put the onus on women to give up one of the long-held symbols of female liberation to meet its Net Zero âgreenâ quotas.
The Bayside Council website says that the change is part of the Victorian Governmentâs Circular Economy Strategy to âcut waste and boost re-use and recyclingâ. If you need a larger bin the council will accommodate you â provided you pay additional fees and rates.
It was only in 2018 that the same Victorian government decided to start a program to hand out free pads and tampons in school, with the Premier taking to Twitter to declare that it was the âright thing to doâ.
Was Daniel Andrews harming the environment by implementing this policy for girls?
At the time, the Health Minister said, âThis is about giving female students the dignity they deserve, and helping families with the cost of living along the way.â
Once these girls turn into adult women, it seems that Labor is happy to inconvenience them to serve the wider Labor âGreen Goalsâ.
As Dean Hurlston, the Ratepayers Victorian President pointed out earlier in regards to the councilâs decision, the Bayside Council rakes in the highest rates in Victoria and it is perfectly reasonable for residents to expect their bins to be collected on time. âCouncil should properly service those that are paying the lionâs share of rates.â Hurlston also questioned whether it was the councilâs job to engage in conversations about womenâs bodies.
Giving up tampons and pads is being sold to women as promoting âeco-friendlyâ and âLGBTQ+ inclusiveâ periods. The online period workshop put on by the council says that it is âsupporting our residentsâ to âreduce our overall waste footprintâ by strongly suggesting that households embrace re-usable options where possible.
The word âwomenâ is to be banned at the workshop as it represents âgenderedâ language. The council say that this is to make it a âsafe space for allâ.
â[The workshop caters to] members of our community who have periods but donât identify as women,â said the Bayside Council Chief Executive, Mick Cummins, before hastily confirming that women could continue using whatever products they wanted â the council would simply be leaving household rubbish sit for two weeks at a time.
