Oh that's just ridickulus. Why not just say "Food should be distributed for free by the government. Why should living creatures have to pay for being alive?"
Governments do not have infinite cash resourses available nor do they have real revenue streams. The only source of "income" a government has is taxes and (under American system at least) that is just the money of We the People. So, by having government distribute hygene products, women ARE paying for being women .... at a much less effiency rate than if they bought the products themselves. [/QUOTE]It's hardly "ridiculous". Ever heard of that little policy called socialism? Subsidised health care?
Why should any human go hungry?
