Imagine, you’re sitting in a coffee shop enjoying a latte and a guy comes up and says “did you hear about tampon tim?” No one can imagine that. It’s fucking weirdo abnormal behavior.
I’d love that opportunity to grab him by the ear and explain why it’s so beneficial for our society to actually cater to the needs of humans.
That’s most narratives from most of these goofballs that get their conversation-starters from the likes of Faux, hate radio, Breitbart (does that still exist?) for several decades now, and I’m all too happy that many people of prominence are now acknowledging just how weird that truly is.
Well he is going to help stem the red wave so I don’t know how this is actually an insult…
From the article:
And finally, as Walz reminds us—anyone who thinks that period jokes are appropriate or funny is just plain, well, weird.
Nah. Period jokes can be funny. The problem here isn’t a joke. It’s the anger they’re trying to stir up about the Boogeyman of transgender students.
Menstruation jokes aren’t funny, period.
I almost got whooshed by this one.
It really depends on how they flow.
Eating yoghurt is like eating a out a woman in her period - you never know when the klumbs will appear.
Been a long time since i heard this one, still gross af
It’s fucking disgusting, and I hate myself for remembering it.
I should have used vile to describe it
Like what the fuck does tampon availability have to do with trans kids? These people are deranged.
He made tampons available in all bathrooms (boy’s and girl’s) to accommodate trans kids. You are right, these people are deranged - and weird as hell.
Because they also may or may not have been available in the boys room. I think that was initially the intention but, well, some teenage boys are going to be dumbasses with menstrual products.
EDIT:
As for the latest round of name calling, it seems the aspect of the Minnesota law that has conservatives most agitated is its language: the law states that pads and tampons must be available to “all menstruating students” and “in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12.” A failed attempt to amend the bill to only name “female restrooms,” did not keep it from passing as is with bipartisan support.
some teenage boys are going to be dumbasses with menstrual products.
And?
The tampons were available in the boy’s rooms as well.
? Someone in the middle of transitioning could still require period products.
Or could grab them for their female friend, sister, etc.
Adult Repubs probably would never touch one out of terror, so they couldn’t have thought of this.
I never understood why men would be embarrassed to go to the store and buy tampons/douches/random female products.
It means you have a woman who trusts you, which seems like something a straight guy wouldn’t mind signaling.
Exactly. It’s also a great way to normalize the female body in a non sexual way. So of course they hate it

That’s their point. They don’t want that.
Or even “the women’s room is out-of-order, it’s an emergency, use the men’s room”.
And republicans hate that because it means not torturing trans kids
“The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district”
They got all pissy because the law didn’t explicitly say “girls bathrooms” and didn’t use any pronouns.
Period jokes can be bloody hell
Personally I prefer comma jokes. Maybe a good hyphen pun.
The colon is also a great source of humor.
Meh. Semi.
And the parties misogyny views for all woman that aren’t barefooted babymakers at home waiting on their “man”.
Any joke focused around a kernel of hate will fall flat with normal people. Humor is one of the places that intention is really easy to discern.
Jokes made in shared struggle or out of affection FEEL different from those crafted to hurt.
Ok if Harris and Walz win I am going to memeify a picture of Tim heroically stopping the ‘Red Tide’ with a massive sanitary product. I’m sure others are planning the same.
Some remind me of this in 3 months.
“Hey guys we’re polling really poorly with women after we stripped them of their rights in several states. How can we smear this guy to gain back ground?”
“Let’s highlight how he made schools provide menstrual products to children that need them. That’s a bad thing. Women won’t like that.”
“Brilliant! It’s curtains for this guy’s career.”
We’re definitely not going to outlaw abortion, though.
Eh, it’ll work well with the TERF-y types, and the general right wing transphobes.
“Democrats are polling real bad with the fascists.”
Damn, can’t win 'em all.
Yeah, but only because they had to really stretch to manufacture outrage.
“The products must be available to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district”
That doesn’t scream “pro-trans”. It certainly allows for it, but the wording is so neutral that you really have to be thinking to explicitly hate on trans to think this is explicitly out to support trans people.
The Terfs seem to mostly concerned about biological men in the woman’s room, I don’t think they will even care that tampons are in the men’s room as long as they are in the women’s room as well.
Eh, that’s fair. They tend to have some small upset about trans men insofar as trans men make trans women more socially acceptable but you’re right - the primary target of TERF anger is trans women being in women’s spaces because they believe trans women are men, all men are predators, that the purpose of women’s spaces is to keep women safe from predatory men, and that trans women being a thing essentially allows predatory men to put on a costume to gain access to victims in vulnerable positions.
More weirdness. You’d think they would be mindful of how they come off at this point…
They must want high school students who have a uterus to free bleed all over the place.
They want them to get pregnant and drop out
I think their long-term goal is to just quietly do away with the whole “women being allowed to get an education” thing
Yes. Them first. Then the lower classes as a whole
“free bleed”
The nightmare I will now have. Just casual dried blood randomly throughout the places people are
All over the place.
Look man. I can handle some blood. Heck maybe even a small dride pool of blood. But I can’t handle the idea of it everywhere like some Prototype inspired world
They know. It’s just that this is all they have left to try. They’ve alienated all the decent folk.
Their entire brand is being brash and unwashed hatred. They just haven’t quite figured out they are the minority and the swing/independent voters who prevously supported them were hoping they’d do more than talk. Now that they are starting a new offensive on their war on women Im waiting hopefully that it’ll just give Dems a safe majority in both houses so they can finally enact legislation.
Texas eliminated taxes on menstrual products. Utah provides them for free in schools.
Is that really all these unimaginative and pathetic bullies have to throw at Waltz?
Wow… that’s the best they can come up?
I feel like they were trying to have a response to Diaper Don and this was their best.
The other ones I’ve seen going around are that he doesn’t own any major stocks or investments outside pensions and that he got arrested for DUI and speeding…30 years ago. They’re really trying hard and failing.
I’m a Pro Life Republican trying to Save The Children and it’s SOCIALISM to use MY Tax Dollars giving Girls TAMPONS! MY Tax Dollars should ONLY be used for Billionaire’s YACHTS and Millionaire’s ABORTIONS! NOT Poor Girl’s TAMPONS!
Weirdass fucking rightists fantasizing over the creepiest weirdass shit.
Tampon Tim is meant to be an insult?
Right?
One time I had some friends over, one of the gals suddenly got very anxious, and privately asked if I had tampons in the house. Luckily an ex had left a box, and seeing the relief was incredible. If helping others in that way gets him the nickname Tampon Tim, I’m celebrating that shit.
The ones who think it’s a pejorative are the ones that refuse to buy feminine products for their partners because they’re so “manly”.
Just makes them sound like they have the IQ of a six year old. Which might be true.
IQ is stable throughout your life though
Accidentally complimenting your opponent when you really wanted to burn and bury him.
LOL, is that supposed to be some kind of sick burn?
This is the “logical” conclusion of purity culture.
It’s not ironic. This is politics at this point… You can feel however you want about it (I’ve personally lost all faith in humanity), but ultimately this is the current META
