Totally distracted by creepy lack of eyes, regardless of sex. What were you saying?
Thankfully, I'm too old to have to boycott Tampax.
If you prick us, do we not bleed?
There was an article long ago in the WSJ about Light Days sanitary pads, a new marketing brilliant stroke. If you can get women to wear the pads more than five days a month, your bottom line improves. The longer periods angle.
So Tampax is expanding to men.
So heterosexual cis-women would be "bleeder breeders?"
“Only women bleed... “
- Alice Cooper
Everybody’s lost their damned minds.
Sometimes when I fart some poo comes out. Can I wear a Tampax too?
Only features are eyebrows and hair.
It's all about the hair, apparently.
I could have been weirded out by this, but I'm now immune.
And it appears all women have dark hair.
All women have black hair and eyebrows now.
Everything else is interchangeable.
If we are going to say men have periods, does the word trans even apply any more?
"tcrosse said...

Nope. Not if you're doing it right.
Leaves out prepubescent girls and post-menopausal women.
Tampons now are like woke capitalism: so many strings attached.
Remember the old Alice Cooper song, “Only Women Bleed?”
"Not all people with periods are women."
Gee, wonder why when the same crowd insists "masks save lives" - some doubt the "science".
You're perfect, yes, it's true
But without me you're only you
Your menstruating heart
Does it bleed enough for two

does anyone remember the olden days? Back when words meant something?
My former partner used to refer to "Drippers." I think that's the same thing.

The secret power of all true women is they can bleed for a week every month and still survive. I am WOMAN, hear me roar!
Also a fact: Not all people with periods are women.
Then what is a woman? Anyone who believes they're a woman? Seems a little circular to me. And if womanhood is so thoroughly detached from the female body, why do trans women obsess so much about looking like women, including spending thousands of dollars on hormone therapy and cosmetic surgery?
Like so much of gay activism, tolerance and peaceful co-existence aren't enough for these people. They have to be accepted. They have to be celebrated. Anything less is "hate."
Trans people can dress and present themselves however they want. They can call themselves whatever they want. They can have whatever surgical procedures they want. They cannot demand that I recognize them as women. I don't, and I won't. And that's not good enough for them.
Liberalism is a mental disease. Come on Man....stop the insanity.
It is a thin, often streaky, brown line between males wearing sanitary pads and men wearing Depends.
Did you notice how angry the artwork looks? The eyebrows are in shapes and locations that we usually associate with anger. I wonder if this was intentional? And if so why would they do it?
Imagine for a moment that you are a female who identifies as a male. Your period is a recurring and difficult reminder that, despite what you tell yourself, the lower half of your body disagrees and isn't getting with the program.
You obviously can't ignore it, you have to do something about it, and Tampax is there to help you through any cognitive dissonance you might experience as a result.
Cancel Alice Cooper?
My politically incorrect friend, when he wanted to mock the woke (we didn't call it that back then), referred to women as 'Gyno-Americans.'
"Totally distracted by creepy lack of eyes, regardless of sex. What were you saying?"
No eyes, but eyebrows. When did American insanity take the form of regarding eyebrows as the most important facial feature? I remember when it was a joke on "Seinfeld": "Who cares about eyebrows?"
This really is peak nuttiness...along with the men who get cervical cancer...
So much brownness...apparently they don't market to white Gyno-Americans or xirs...
If there are no genders, how can there be transgenders?

that's what makes it an absolute fact that all women don't have periods. Also, women who have really low body fat often stop having their periods. So that is a true statement. And all of those non-bleeders are in fact women. So *not* having a period doesn't make you not a woman. But having a period does mean you are a woman. Men don't have periods.
But if we are going to start saying, some people who menstruate are in fact men, then what's the point of saying trans any more? Pretty soon the term "trans" is going to be offensive.
Totally distracted by creepy lack of eyes, regardless of sex
And nose and mouth. No holes. Interesting artistic choice for Tampax.
"Who cares about eyebrows?"
Marlene Dietrich? She's the only one I can think of who was able to pull of the overly-plucked, overly-high drawn on eyebrow.
"Fact: Not all women have periods. Also a fact: Not all people with periods are women."
Fact: progs are trying to get us to use any word for any thing, regardless of tradition or usage or morality, as long as they approve. Nothing means anything, all that is solid melts into air. Watch it melt, you deplorables, and suck it.
The sheer coerced arbitrariness is the point.
Is this person a satirist? Her previous tweet was promoting willful segregation as well.
"When did American insanity take the form of regarding eyebrows as the most important facial feature?" I believe that is actually true.
There is a video on youtibe about how people are literally unrecofnizable without their eyebrows. It is real weird!!
Tampax might not be the best thing in the world, but it's right up in there.
Tampax changes their marketing every few years. The women, menstruating and bleeding, are eternal.
https://www.image.ie/beauty/science-says-this-is-your-most-important-facial-feature-31386
Here is an example of an article saying the eyebrows are most important.
With his permission, J. Farmer @9:30 AM speaks for me.
Titania makes me laugh.
Remember when the hack liar press planted the seed that Mitt Romney was planning on taking away all our tampons?
We were all bleeders, then.
I'm a real bleeder. I bleed almost everyday. My world is full of sharp things that seem to hate me. I still love them all anyway.
J Farmer - sing it.
Batman: “Tell me, do you bleed?”
https://youtu.be/1KcZvT-k0ng
J Farmer observes: They have to be celebrated. Anything less is "hate."
Exactly. They are really just exhibitionists, as is obvious in 'Gay Pride' parades. "Look at me! Look at me!"
No job is done right without blood being spilled. Handyman fact.
Some quotes came to mind.
“If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?".
William Shakespeare
“If you cut us, do we not bleed? If you slap us, do we not swell up? If you spit on us, do we not get wet?“
Lenny Kosnowski
Which political party aligns itself with this garbage? That is the only question you need to answer to know how to vote.
I can't even imagine how fucked up our youth is when they are taught this utter nonsense, and shamed when they dare question it.
I see racism!
3/5 of the faceless models are Black. What are they trying to suggest?
Unknown,
Yes, this is a satire account - points out the ridiculousness of the left
Is that bleeder or breeder?
We all need someone we can bleed on, even non-bleeders.
Is this person a satirist?
Yes. And he's a man! Read more here
Mainstreaming mental illness. Hurray for the Left!
Also, women who have really low body fat often stop having their periods.
So a female astronaut was in the checkout line at a market and a guy looked in her basket and saw a box of tampax. "I thought female astronauts didn't have periods", he says. True story.
Going after that vital Trannie tampon business. One of the things I love about corporate capitalism is that it can still provide a lifelong playground for the Emperor’s tailors. When I encounter them in my work I’m as envious as I am appalled.
What's really insane to me is the madness of a crowd. Anybody can be insane (or just stupid). But to have a corporation, and everybody who works for that corporation, agree to be insane together? It's just mind-boggling to me.
Tampax is a division of Proctor & Gamble. This is a $353 billion company.
How many people working there have lost touch with reality? A few of their creative people, apparently. But the financial people and the uppity ups? A lot of people signed off on this. They spent money on it.
I would say it's a few insane people, and a lot of people who are afraid. And the people who are afraid hired the insane people, to say insane things, so the people who are afraid wouldn't get in trouble.
Maybe they paid for a study to see how many men would buy tampons? And they found some of them would? So they said, what the hell. Maybe it was greed, not fear. But I feel like it was fear, mostly. Most of the woke stuff is fear-based. They're terrified of losing their jobs, or losing money.
"literally unrecofnizable"
Not even after their covfefe?
We all need someone we can bleed on
And if you want it, Titania, you can bleed on me
Tatiana is a well-known parody account, but that aside, have you noticed all the stupid things the people who "believe the science" believe? Men have periods, an abortion is just removing a clump of cells at 20 weeks, climate change is causing the California wildfires, we can run the entire electrical grid on solar panels in 5 years while adding 290 million electric cars to the load, and cotton masks made from recycled tee shirts will save lives. If that stuff is science, I'll go back to alchemy and start again.
There's an e e cummings joke somewhere in this thread, waiting to get out.
Gays used to refer to straight people as "breeders"
“If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?". - (Act III, scene I).”
Guess Shylock was showing her(?) feminine’s side. Not to mention the reference to “prick” which could also be a he or a she. Ahhh! What freedom from the hegemony of biology.
If Trump is Hitler then this stuff is Weimar.
Tampax is missing the bigger market here- Maxi-Pads for your face.
ffs.
your intellectual betters, who support the party of science
Why do I feel like I'm being trolled?
Anyway, I have to go out to the grocery. Making dinner tonight for my lovely little bleeder.
Back when we were puerile and horny college guys, some would sing a line from a Beatles song thusly:
"Red is the color that will make me blue, inside of you, it's true.."
(I denounce myself)
Female, yes. Feminine, no. The transgender spectrum ranges from homosexual to neosexual.
Twitter will find this hateful and ban Tampax. People who identify as men who have never had a prostate are trans-appropriating the biology of true men. They are trying to take the advantages of men without experiencing the disadvantages.
Also, back in the day, a female student we were pals with was too embarrassed to buy tampons at a small grocery store, so she asked one of the guys to get them for her.
He agreed, and as he went into the store someone shouted: "Better buy a couple of boxes. She uses them in clusters of nine."
Funny, that was the last time she asked us to buy tampons.
During a speech, Abe Lincoln posed a question to the audience: How many legs does a dog have if we call a tail a leg? Then he gives the answer: Four, because calling the tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.
What do Tampons and Ivanka Trump have in common? They're both stuck up cunts
I am somehow comforted by the fact that no view can be so woke that it cannot be turned into an effective marketing campaign. And they say capitalism is doomed!
So here we have a company that produces "feminine hygiene products" and their first concern is for trans women. Men always manage to get their way, even when they claim to be women. Old habits die hard.
Here's my view of our current social hierarchy (blended combination of political correctnesss and reality): straight men, trans women, gay men, trans men, straight women, and finally, the invisible lesbians.
I wish we could just get back to males and females and let people have some privacy about their personal lives. It really bugs me when I get questions online about my gender identity from people assume they are enlightened.
Who knew the lunatics are everywhere?
I don’t know. If a woman identifies as a man, s/he will still have her period. I think it’s in everyone’s best interest that s/he use something during those days... In that light, perhaps Tampax is doing us a favor, along with maintaining their revenue stream.
I am surprised though that the image is not made up of colored tampons, much like the recent RBG mural, lol.
We already have Anarchists--
... so why not Menarchists??

"What do Tampons and Ivanka Trump have in common? They're both stuck up cunts"
Cute...but other than being the president's daughter, what has she ever done to offend anyone?
It seems that despite her wealth and notoriety, she is a very smart and gracious woman using her influence within the administration to improve business opportunities for women, among other things.
The same graciousness applies to Melania.
Why are liberals such misogynists?

Separation of Progressive Church and State. They should lose their Pro-Choice, selective, opportunistic, relativistic, politically congruent ("=") quasi-religion ("ethics"). That said, diversity of individuals, minority of one. Baby Lives Matter (BLM). #HateLovesAbortion
Hervè Jean-Pierre Villechaize founded a chain of free hotels for little people. He called them Stay Free Mini Pads.
gender as a choice
Sex (i.e. genetic) is not a choice. Gender or sex-correlated attributes (e.g. sexual orientation) is purportedly a choice. We've been on a progressive path since they conflated sex and gender to marginalize men and women, diversity in color judgments, appropriated gay to normalize trans/homosexuals, adopted the technical term of art "fetus" to socially distance abortionists, doctors, and mothers from their victims.
Titania-- welcome to the men's club, once you hit menopause. But forget about cranking up the air conditioner when you're flashing. The old guys are cold already.
"Anyway, I have to go out to the grocery. Making dinner tonight for my lovely little bleeder."
I laughed, then almost puked in my mouth, and then laughed some more.

I keep referring to this series of novels; might as well send a link to them via the Althouse portal.
At one time I considered this series ("Kelley Turnbull series by Kurt Schlichter") to be over-the-top in its depiction of the breakaway "People's Republic" after the breakup of the US. Stuff like this from Tampax reveals that the author was merely prophetic.
(BTW, I recommend reading them in story-chronological order, not order of publication. #2 comes first, the, 1, 3, and 4.)
Paco,
"Totally distracted by creepy lack of eyes..."
They're all from the Tribe of Julia.
They want us all to be Green Grocers.
Yes, the arbitrariness is the point.
They want us to give up.
To give in.
Instead Trump wins bigger than he did in 2016 and we continue to tell them fuck off.
Apparently that giant portrait of Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg didn't ramp up the sale of tampoons enough. So they needed to expand their market to men.
Am I the only one that knows that this is a mocking liberal PC twitter person? She posts absurd things to mock PC "progressives". She is not serious. Its dark humor Ann. Please tell me Ann knows this. Please. Check out her tweets for petes sake! Its a joke!
Thinking of Andy Kaufmann here. The joke is literally on all the above commenters. Surely Ann, you are onto this? Reassure me please!

Put away the smelling salts. I imagine a lot of us are reacting to the same thing Titania was: the tweet from Tampax, a Proctor & Gamble brand, that wasn't intended as satire. Quite the opposite, in fact. It's as earnest as it is wrongheaded.
“ But having a period does mean you are a woman. Men don't have periods.”
Well I’m not a woman and I have a period. Every 8 weeks, at my local Red Cross, I bleed about a pint’s worth. O+. And then the phlebotomist tapes a stay-free mini pad like thing on me and sends me on my way. I am man, hear me roar. In numbers too big to ignore. I am strong (strong). I am invincible (invincible). I am blood donor man.
"Howard said...

What do diapers and Howard have in common? They're both full of shit.
"how do we sell more tampons? Jolene what you got?"

Welcome to....the Danger Zone!
@Meade
but do you feel bloated and cranky? PBDS?
Unsurprisingly, the Tampax brand is owned by P&G, the same company that owns Gillette. Gillette is now famous for its 2019 ad excoriating its own customers for toxic masculinity. That ad resulted in $8bn writedown for Gillette. P&G's CEO response to objections to that ad was "But I am absolutely of the view now that for the majority of people to fall more deeply in love with today’s brands you have to risk upsetting a small minority and that’s what we’ve done." It appears that P&G has no more "love" for its "small minority" of female customers than its "small minority" of male ones. The Tampax brand has been steadily losing sales to smaller, female-owned, and fiercely female-directed brands. So it's a very odd response by P&G to blur the lines between women and "bleeders." Another writedown is in the offing.
