Once again, demanding freebies. WHY should they get something/anything for free? And this disgusting method?

UF Students Stain Pants With Fake Blood for a 'Bleeeed-In' to Demand Free Tampons
The University of Florida (UF) student senate allowed itself to be bullied into providing free menstrual products this week, after a small group of students hosted a "bleed-in," staining their pants with fake blood.
"Are you frustrated about not having free menstrual products? Well this is the protest for you," the "Are You Seeing Red" event page declared. "This is a bleeeed-in. We'll be wearing washable red dye on our bums, as if we didn’t have a pad and the blood bled through. Then walk the day with it, to demonstrate how much we care for it."
No joke — this actually happened, and according to Facebook, 36 people went. Student Jenny Boylan (who goes by "Benny Joylan" on Facebook) posted a photo.
The student group "Gators Matter, Period." launched a petition demanding that UF provide free tampons, pads, and panty liners. More than 4,000 students signed the petition.
"Because there are no free tampons or pads at the University of Florida, students are often forced to go home early or skip class completely when their cycle starts unexpectedly. An impoverished student faces the choice between getting a meal and being comfortable, and that shouldn't happen on our campus," the petition argued. "We want the University of Florida to provide its students with the necessary menstrual care items, just like it provides ponchos, condoms and hammocks for its students."
In an interesting twist, the petition did not mention women in its demand for feminine products. Instead, students noted that "menstruating people have their period from three to seven days and menstruate from age 13 until age 51" (emphasis added).
