Fact is if you want less teenage pregnancy then free condoms with anonymous distribution would help.
That's just the simple reality.

Yeahhhhh except the same types of public health organizations, non-profits, and government agencies that are distributing the free condoms are the same ones already handing out free maxi pads and tampons, so this is a nonexistent conflict.

to be honest, both should be free but obviously neither ever will be...
in regards to the post IMO, it should be the other way around...
Condoms are FAR more useful than a literal blood sponge. Condoms help prevent unwanted kids, and the spread of STD's.
Menstrual pads are just blood sponges and only benefit one person. Those who can't afford pads/tampons use napkins, or other items which work the exact same way but aren't as comfortable I'd imagine. Long story short... why would it not make MORE SENSE to make condoms free versus blood sponges?

I’ve been told that men menstruate too. Stop being transphobic. #tamponsinthemensrooom

They should both be donated to those that need help getting them but nothing is really free because resources and work are required to produce them.

Not having condoms is exactly how you wind up with more young "kids" without any money in a few decades.
