Tampax’s Tweet

[DogsAkimbo]

Am I misunderstanding how foul this tweet is? People seem to be feting them for it.

it's nowt to do with TRAs 🤷🏼‍♀️

@MarmaladeFatkins Whats Tras?

TRAs - Trans Rights Activists

I just browsed on their Twitter feed. It is so weird.

Another tweet read: "little miss pretends her period is over after day 3"

What is going on there? I think it's a dig at stopping using their products too soon. But what is with the 'little miss' and the mocking tone?!?

They have also retweeted the tweet that this thread started about with a comment that says 'refused to let twitter shut down before we shared this tweet' and shared the tweet AGAIN!
How odd.

I can only think that they think their target market is trans women with a fetish for tampons?

<that comment will get me deleted but MN - there is such a thing!>

Fml what’s your problem? I’m talking about MY take on the tweet after the OP kindly explained why she found the tweet misogynistic. If you have a different take then great for you. I don’t know why you’re on my case bye

"India Willoughby" is fully in support and has announced he'll still be using them.

For doing his Don Corleone impersonations at Christmas parties, presumably?

@ItsBritneyBitch45 I don’t have a problem, I said thanks for pointing it out to me.

Maybe he gets a lot of nosebleeds. Clearly someone who bunked off Biology lessons at school.

You’re very passive aggressive to strangers on the internet. Weird

Thanks Britney.

Yeah a lot of the tweets are very mocking, all pretty weird. But apparently if you don’t find it funny you’re a stick in the mud not normalising periods and are a terfy part of the problem. When did this become a huge issue?

Or is it another made up problem for a marketer? I didn’t realise we were stigmatised over them.

What I do know still goes on is that some cultures sexualise tampons and it’s lovely that Tampax are there backing that up for them.

Wtf? Agree... so weird: that's two tweets with weird child fetishisation/sexualisation going on then.

Maybe IW identifies as a battlefield medic &/or prepper & Tampax is IW’s product of choice for initial bullet wound management?

WTAFF

Woman's Hour discussion yesterday (starts about 22:25 minutes in): www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001fcpn

A couple of glaring references to "menstruators" and "people who menstruate" from the Period Positive founder during the interview though. FFS!

meh at Tampax. What a bunch of supercilious knobs. Lil -let’s and / or Flux undies every time.

Aww It's nice to see Donald Trump has landed a new role as head of socials at Tampax. I wondered what he was up to.

Ha!

Ugh a couple of news outlets (if you can call them that) have reported on this in such a weird way like ‘get the joke you stupid women’!

You will never guess who has got in on the act . . . or then again, you probably can.

India W being OTT racist and misogynistic at the same time.

Did anyone else see, they actually removed that minging tweet!

@264MyShirt Ugh, just saw that on another thread!!

Ah yes, they have learned from this. From the replies, I think what they've learned is 'our wanker of a social media manager has cost us a shit load of sales'.

Such a surreal tweet to see in the first place from a sodding hygiene company.

Grim - at least they took it down I guess. I guess the company is managed by a man. Bunch of tools.
