The students marched across the campus, holding signs that read &#8220;Destigmatize menstruation&#8221; and &#8220;Hello, it&#8217;s the twenty-first century,&#8221; aiming to raise \u2062awareness about the issue and push for\u200b change.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy \u200barose after tampon dispensers were installed in the men&#8217;s restrooms in November of last year. However, these dispensers were recently removed following objections\u200c from a group known as \u2063Clemson College\u200c Republicans. \u200bThe removal has sparked\u2063 outrage among students who believe it is unfair and\u200b unjust.<\/p>\n<p>The protest was \u200corganized by a \u2062group called \u200bTake Back Pride, who are advocating\u200d for the reinstatement \u200cof feminine hygiene \u2062products in men&#8217;s restrooms.

Pan Tankersley, one of the student organizers, highlighted the importance of supporting the LGBTQIA+ community and protecting its students. Tankersley stated, &#8220;Instead of working\u2062 against us, like taking away menstrual products from the men&#8217;s bathrooms and making\u2063 people feel unwelcomed,\u200b there should \u2063be support for the community that is\u2064 already \u200bfighting to \u2062feel safe here.

However, Chris Miller, Dean of Students and \u2063President of Student \u2064Affairs \u2062at\u200d Clemson,\u2064 did affirm the university&#8217;s support for\u2063 free\u200c speech.<\/p>\n<p>This protest\u200b highlights the ongoing \u2063debate surrounding\u2063 gender, identity, and\u200b inclusivity on college campuses. It\u200d emphasizes \u2063the need for open dialogues and \u2062understanding among \u2064diverse groups of students. The outcome of this situation\u200d will undoubtedly serve as a\u200b precedent for future discussions and\u2062 decisions regarding facilities and \u200dresources \u2063on campus.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the \u200dprotest at Clemson University \u2062reflects the issues of discrimination and inclusivity that persist in society.\u2064 It\u2063 is\u200b essential for\u200b universities and institutions to listen to the\u200c concerns\u200c of their students\u200d and work towards creating an\u2062 environment that supports \u200band \u200cembraces\u200c diversity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>organized a protest in response to Clemson University&#8217;s decision to remove menstrual products from men&#8217;s restrooms on campus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2196,"featured_media":2067699,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[542],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2067698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-oann"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2067698","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2067698"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2067698\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2067699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2067698"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2067698"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2067698"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
