Fucking hell, who designed that graphic? Why don’t the women have faces

That ratio is glorious.

Oh god. Come on, we all know that if a bloke is bleeding between his legs, he needs to find medical attention not a Tampax!!

Hmm - I use Tampax Pearl. Any non women friendly alternatives??

Fabulous! Serve them bloody right. Pun intended.

Am I right in thinking that BodyForm hasn't (yet) gone in for this nonsense?

I know there are still companies out there who know what a woman is. I certainly won't be buying anything from Tampax again.

Not on Twitter so can't contribute to the Ratio.

The ratio

What is rather wonderful about Tampax alienating 100% of their target demographic is how many women (and some men) are finally confident enough to openly challenge this.

What were they thinking !

Tampax and friends of the earth.

World gone mad!

Beautiful ratio.

Friends of the Earth have got one going too, and, from the look of the comments, went on a
blocking spree in response.

These days - when somebody starts a sentence with Fact: i know for fact, it isn’t.

But like when people use the word ‘literal’ as in literal violence which now means the exact opposite.

Tampax is owned by Proctor and Gamble, who also own Gillette, Always and Pantene. I'm half expecting to see this agenda pushed in their next Pampers adverts too .

Proctor and Gamble brands

I didn't see a single positive message in the Tampax thread.

What on Earth is happening to this world. Everyone’s going bonkers! 🤦🏻‍♀️

So the idea that only women menstruate is now a 'myth'? Gaslighting alert!!!

Love this comment on the Friends of the Earth thread:

This bullshit is why you are now going to spend the next 72 hours arguing about the existence of women and not about saving the planet. By the end of it you’ll have blocked thousands of feminists and still think you are the good guy.

Right so if my son had started bleeding from his genitals when he was 11, I should just have said, 'Congratulations, darling, you're a person who bleeds.'

Not only nonsense; irresponsible, dangerous fucking nonsense.

I’m confused about all the hate. Surely they are trying to include transgender men. Transgender men still bleed every month and I’m guessing here, don’t like being labelled as a woman? so I get it. So it’s including them too?

Jesus. I bet Tampax with they had Bodyforms marketing team!

And what sex are they?

@EdgeOfACoin

That comment is beautiful.

What do FotE think they will gain from this? That post will not get them a single extra donation, but by the end of this there will be some who have cancelled their direct debits.
They are blocking people who are interested enough to read their Tweets - that's actual and potential supporters.

Well that's done it time to buy a moon cup

Wow. I've seen it all now. Will make an effort to avoid buying Proctor & Gamble products from now on. Way to go to their PR teams. A lesson in how to alienate your main market.

Bit odd to decide that the business you will receive from 17 year olds is worth more economically than that from the over 30s market (presuming that is the sort of marketing conversation they had.)

@SarahG6383 - then, at a push it’s women and transgender men, or women and others. But it is not inclusive to remove the biological name of 99.9% of your customer base.

Fact: Not all women have periods.

Yes, we know. And I don't know of a single woman who's ever complained about a product such as this, which can only be used by women but which she doesn't need or want herself, complaining about it being described as being 'for women'.

Funny how tena men never get this crap.
