Netizens slam Bennet
When Bennet asked the student about putting up urinals in women's washroom, he replied, "I think people make too big a f'*****g deal about it, I don't really care." Then Bennet goes on to ask Hawse about putting up of tampons in men's washroom, to which he says, "I don't really care. If a dude wants a tampon for some reason, he can have a tampon. That’s not my business."
