In all cases, public health interests trump personal privacy. A woman withholding the status of her cycle could result in a bloody mess, something we&#8217;d all prefer to avoid.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those opposed to the new rule have said that the new requirement was a huge invasion of privacy. Politicians and the media have refuted these privacy concerns, insisting such claims are being made by a vocal minority of right-wing extremists, who are advocating to endanger public health as they selfishly push notions of privacy and personal liberty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite it being pointed out that a woman&#8217;s menstrual cycle poses no risk to other pool users or public health, the media have insisted that the public &#8220;follow the science&#8221;, specifically, their science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government are working on an update to existing QR-code sign-in technology to include the ability to verify the status of a woman&#8217;s cycle. This is seen as the first of many add-ons to the QR-code sign-in system that will be rolled out in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A men&#8217;s-rights advocate stated <strong><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s not just swimming pools who have an interest in a woman&#8217;s&#8217; menstrual cycle, men who are intending on hooking up with a woman also have a right to know so they can avoid an accidental pregnancy. Medical privacy is a selfish and dangerous right that we need fight against for the public good and the peace of mind of men everywhere.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/man-and-woman-kissing-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1201\" srcset=\"http:\/\/foxthink.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/man-and-woman-kissing-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/foxthink.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/man-and-woman-kissing-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/foxthink.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/man-and-woman-kissing-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/foxthink.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/man-and-woman-kissing-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/foxthink.local\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/man-and-woman-kissing.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption><em>Experts are proposing that the QR-code sign-in system be further extended to include tracking of STDs, requiring those engaging in intimate relations to sign-in so possible infection can be tracked.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Beginning next month, public swimming pools will require proof that a woman isn&#8217;t having her period before permitting entry.
