I will. Either tell you to lighten up nor anything else. It seems to me that the absurdity of tampons for men (manpons? I just coined that) requires some degree of derision. They put this distortion in the public square. It is embarrassing and should be treated as such. If we shy away from their statements they win by default

Breitbart says politics is downstream of culture. Sometimes it needs to be greeted with scorn. These idiots who think there is manstration must be hammered.

If you are transmale like the guy who Biden had to the White House (some idiot influencer) I would suggest it gets manpons. That got be a 2:00 trip to the sin bin on another website.

“Breitbart says politics is downstream of culture”

And you are adding to it.

“These idiots who think there is manstration must be hammered.”

Like I’m sure they are reading FR to get hammered by you. And, in case you didn’t notice, the majority of the comments on this thread are gutter humor, not targeted comments on the idiocy of the menstruating men concept. The comments here are mostly barroom humor and not about the woke politics of the left.

I do like your new word though, manpons. That indeed fits the definition of political satire and plays with the left’s propensity to twist words to suit their political agenda. Your word is on point. The rest of this thread, bleh.

“They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing.”

I thought they meant: “Using long sentences shows I know things.”

Tampax tweeted on Monday, November 21: “You’re in their DMs. We’re in them. We are not the same”.

I found out what DM means. But I have no idea what Tampax is saying. Probably just as well.

How is this any more or less vulgar than that jingle commercial "Number 2 should be easy to do" for stool softener medication?

“Do you have King Charles in a can? Better let him out!”

“>>popular flirting method of “Slipping into someone’s DMs””<<

I thought that was called “catfishing”.

I’ve got 5 bucks that Musk had a hand in this.

Shrewd move.

We have a B&G Tampax plant in Auburn, ME. They can churn out 50k plugs per hour, starting from bales of fluff processed and turned into boxed end-product. Very automated process.

Thanks. It’s a whole new language. What I read of this article doesn’t make me think “vulgar” because I didn’t understand what the heck they were saying. LOL Maybe it’s better that way because then I can’t be offended. People are over the top with being offended. It’s getting old.
