Normalization of Deviance

I just learned that down the main hall of the VA Hospital in Spokane WA they have installed a Tampax dispenser in the "Men's" restroom. Is this an attempt to try to "normalize it to veterans? To me "Veteran" always had a analogous meaning as to "History". What's next?

    There was a news story a couple weeks back of a tampon dispenser installed in a Connecticut high school boys' bathroom. It lasted twenty minutes before being torn off the wall and dropped in a toilet. I'm not sure the veterans would resort to such a response, but the folly of the policy should be made plain.

    Well, good golly gee whiz, I'd just hate to be accused of such things by my thought police betters.
    Tell y'all what, since I am a man who can give birth to a widdle bitty baby all of my own, I promise from the bottom of my heart that I'll use that Tampax dispenser just as soon as I have my first period.
    Shucks, here I am~~almost 77 and still waiting.

    My understanding is that on the battlefield tampons are used for hemorrhage control in gun shot wounds. Not sure about men's restrooms. This may be the new battlefield. (sarc)

    Yes, parts of it are in decline and those parts are growing. The question is can the decline be halted and reversed before a cataclismic event? Time will tell.

    And if you don't use one on yourself you're a racist, fascist transphobe.

    It's getting to the point you can't go anywhere or see anything on any media without being subjected to the "normalization of deviance". Civilization in decline is not a pretty thing. I'm grateful I've lived in and during the time of the greatest civilization earth has ever experienced, but now I see it's on the way out. It doesn't have to be that way, but we should know in a decade or two how it's going to be.
