好像本周的新闻感觉不像另一个反乌托邦向吉利德倾斜,请查看美国代表肖恩帕特里克马洛尼的周四推文。在其中,他指出,众议院管理委员会拒绝承担马洛尼为工作人员和访客使用的洗手间购买的价值37美元的月经产品。 “那太荒谬了,”他在推特上说道。
马洛尼提到的委员会管理一个名为会员代表津贴的基金,该基金允许报销包括纸巾,洗手液和乳液在内的一系列必需品。列表中的其他项目包括:带缀饰的开信刀,黄铜书挡,带可雕刻板的木槌套件和木制“执行纸巾架”。
众议员马洛尼接受推特称这种歧视性做法,并提交了一封严厉要求其撤销的严厉信函。引用他的新闻稿:
这是关于如何在国会和全国各地的工作场所对待女性的更大讨论的重要部分。现在是国会领导这些问题的时候了。
作为回应,委员会否认了这一点:“我们希望众议员马洛尼办公室在与错误地声称他们之前联系委员会寻求指导:一,联系委员会寻求帮助;两位受到委员会拒绝购买的指导,“它在周四的一份声明中表示。
如果这是真的,这是另一种方式,妇女的身体通常被视为政策问题而被忽视和贬值。欢迎来到月经公平的斗争!你是一个很好的公司,来自过道两边的一大批立法者都认为,为了建立一个完全公平和参与的社会,我们的法律必须保证月经卫生协议和产品安全可用于所有需要它们的人。
2016年,纽约市议会通过了该国第一部法律,要求在其修正设施,庇护所和公立学校中免费提供卫生棉条和护垫。类似的改革正在各州引起关注:今年康涅狄格州,肯塔基州,路易斯安那州,马里兰州和弗吉尼亚州通过了法律,以确保在当地监狱和州监狱提供产品。公立学校对加利福尼亚州,伊利诺伊州和纽约州做同样的事情。
与此同时,推动消除月经产品销售税(又称“卫生棉条税”)成为头条新闻,吸引了民主党和共和党议员 – 包括2016年在纽约取消税收的州长库莫和州长里克斯科特佛罗里达州今年跟随其州。
国会议员也采取了立场。 2016年,代表Grace Meng(D-NY)推出了“人人均衡法”(HR 972),其中包括常识性改革,例如为经常使用卫生棉条和护垫的低收入人群创建税收抵免,允许人们使用使用他们的弹性支出账户购买月经产品,并要求大型雇主免费向员工提供这些产品。在参议员科里·布克,卡玛拉·哈里斯和伊丽莎白·沃伦于2023年7月引入“监禁妇女尊严法”后,司法部发布了一份指南,要求所有联邦惩教机构免费提供卫生棉条和护垫。众议院最近通过了“第一步法案”,即联邦监狱改革立法,该立法主要包括月经准入条款。
月经公平不再在我们的国家话语中占据一席之地。不久前,立法者甚至尴尬地甚至在公开场合说“月经”这个词。感谢众议员马洛尼代表其工作人员和选民发表意见,以及加入越来越多的公职人员名单,他们拒绝将女性的尊严和幸福放在一边。

It seems that this weeks news does not lean towards another dystopian society like Gilead. Please check out the tweet from American representative Sean Patrick Maloney on Thursday. In it, he pointed out that the House Administration Committee refused to reimburse the $37 worth of menstrual products Maloney purchased for staff and visitors to use in the bathroom. “Thats ridiculous,” he said on Twitter. Maloney mentioned that the committee manages a fund called the Member Representational Allowance, which allows for reimbursement of a range of necessities including tissues, hand soap, and lotion. Other items on the list include: letter openers with embellishments, brass bookends, a wooden mallet set with an engraveable plate, and a wooden “executive tissue box holder.” Maloney accepted to Twitter calling this discriminatory practice and submitted a stern letter demanding its repeal. Quoting his press release: This is an important part of the larger discussion about how women are treated in Congress and workplaces across the country. Now is the time for Congress to lead on these issues. In response, the committee denied this: “We hope that Congressman Maloneys office will contact the committee seeking guidance before making erroneous claims: one, contacting the committee seeking assistance; two, seeking guidance on the items that were denied by the committee,” it said in a statement on Thursday. Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, a warrior of our time. Getty Images If this is true, it is another way that womens bodies are often seen as policy issues and ignored and devalued. Welcome to the fight for menstrual equity! You are in good company, with a large group of legislators from both sides of the aisle recognizing that our laws must ensure menstrual hygiene agreements and product safety are available to all who need them in order to build a fully fair and participatory society. In 2016, the New York City Council passed the countrys first law requiring free provision of sanitary pads and tampons in its correctional facilities, shelters, and public schools. Similar reforms are gaining attention in states: this year, Connecticut, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, and Virginia passed laws to ensure products are available in local prisons and state prisons. Public schools do the same thing in California, Illinois, and New York. Meanwhile, pushing to eliminate the sales tax on menstrual products (also known as the “tam
