Why must a "MAN" proclaim to know what is right for a "WOMAN", let her be the judge.
Firstly I am surprised there is even TV coverage about Sanitary Pad being distributed for flood victims..can't these be done without media coverage?
As a woman I myself do not like too much focus on the biological functions of women being made public.
Out here when we had massive floods in East Coast of Msia last year..rescue efforts just mentioned that they supplies food,water,medical supplies,milk and other basic needs to victims.
Now basic needs also include Toilet Paper,Disposable Diapers and Sanitary pads but a detail break down was not given cos it would not look too "polite" to advertise to the whole world all these are being distributed.
When I go the nearby store to purchase toilet tissue for my clinic washroom I make sure I hide what I am buying cos its embarrassing to be carrying a toilet tissue packet openly walking to my clinic...cos everyone knows how and why a toilet tissue is used.
Even while dispensing medication..if a patient has hemorroids(Piles)..I usually tell my nurses to lower their voices a bit while giving the medicine so that others do not hear it..some people feel shy that they have piles cos it involves the nether region.
In life some functions of the body are private and should not be made a public affair.
Now coming to what you wrote above..yes..I fully support your stance.
I feel males should not interfere with the functions of a female body..males have a habit of thinking they know what is best for a women.
I have even seen talks shows here where males get together even bitching about women moving away from tradition by using sticker pottu!LOL
So males need to be reminded that there is limit they can comment on.
