Bachelor Feminine Hygiene

My neighbor, Miriam, tried to convince Hans and I that we needed a stash of feminine hygiene products as a thoughtful gesture for our female friends in times of emergency. I was thoroughly against it for the following reasons:
  • It breaks the sanctity of the bachelor pad. By adding in strictly womanly elements, it no longer can scream, "Men live here!"
  • It sends a dangerous message. By having tampons and pads lying around, not for anyone in particular or in response to a particular situation, it says, "We have so many women in and out of here, that we need to be prepared for anything."
  • It is not hard to obtain feminine hygiene products. There's a gas station within a block. Why should these items that may potentially never get used take up my shelf space?
  • It's not thoughtful. It's creepy.
Nevertheless, Miriam was able to convince Hans. Hans bought his first box of pads and another of tampons last week. Now they sit on a shelf in the bathroom like a sign that reads, "Menstruating Women Welcome!"
