I see that the mostly men on this thread are using it as a way to express adolescent locker room humor. I’m not liking this thread because I find the topic frankly gross, and am surprised to see it on here.

In the olden days, such topics of conversation would not be out in the public forum. But it appears nowadays, in today’s anything goes social media culture, along with the coarsening of it, such threads as these now pop up.

Wish I could go back in time when certain subjects best kept private, weren’t put out into the public sphere. This cheapens the discourse and doesn’t make the FR forum look good.

And I know my comment here will elicit responses such as lighten up, good clean fun (it’s not clean) etc., but ask if most of your parents would want to read this thread, or their parents before them. I think I know the answer. The word vulgar comes to mind.

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.
