Yes, what you are saying is so true. White America has this image that racists are caricatures, over the top evil from central casting. Reading this interview reminds us that the truth is so much more complex—these things were done (or tolerated) by everyday white people—including reporters from the New Yorker or the…

This is like when President Snow invited all of the kids to his palace for “their” protection.

I’d say that’s largely semantic. It’s an exploit that doesn’t work outside of the text app, it uses the text app’s existing functionality to manipulate the ability to use the text app by doing something that the text app was intended to do. The fact that it also requires a downloadable file is a valid part of the…

We put secret gay dust in some of the tampons. Not all of them. Just enough to keep you guessing.

Dammit
#Notalltoms

I have also heard the “buying tampons makes a guy gay” thing and always wondered... how? Wouldn’t gay men be the least likely to need tampons?

“I can do everything you can do, while bleeding and feeling like I’m being kicked in the belly, and you’re scared of seeing the wrappers? Is that what you’re telling me?”

My friend started dating this girl a couple years ago, and basically disappeared from all of our lives and started hanging out with her exclusively. So I was kind of pissed at him, in general, around that period. Nothing against her, but I really value my friendships, plus have some slight abandonment issues about…

Yeah it is a dumb word - and apologies if I came across as being overly-critical.
Just between you and me, I slapped a kid across the head once because he called his (8-year old) classmate a slut.

Stick it to the mirror after use. That’ll show them who’s the boss.

I don’t know what’s wrong with them. I literally found a bag of bled tampons of my wife and all I thought was, hmm my mouth has been where this blood has come from and the other day I was getting the blood out of a piece of dead meat from the groceries. I’m not disgusted by this.

When I was growing up, my mother made me wrap my pads in tissues and hide them in the kitchen trash. Because the menz in the house couldn’t handle the knowledge that women menstruated. And yet, she would have me soak my blood-stained panties in cold water in the bathroom sink for all to see. Such a strange…

These are always the most ridiculous responses to feminine products and their accoutrement. And it always seems to be the most boastful guy about sex and girls. When I’ve told other guys (when I was younger) that I buy tampons and deal with all that stuff for my girlfriends and they cringe, I go equally as juvenile…

You’re absolutely right.

My version of Michael pitched a fit because my roommate threw away a sanitary napkin in her own bathroom, and it had the gall to come unrolled. “Too much information.” In our shared bathroom.

(Most) men are so easily offended by the mere sight of a pad or tampon, it’s ridiculous. Where else should you have put them? In you purse? They only like to acknowledge vaginas when it’s convenient for them, so when they’re horny. But I can understand your reaction, I used to be like that until a couple of years ago…

That’s when you stuff his pillowcase with them.

And Michael, too. My college boyfriend reprimanded me for putting pantyliner wrappers in the garbage in his bathroom because his roommate would tease him for it. I was so humiliated. I didn’t occur to me then to be pissed at him and his stupid roommate. I feel sad for my younger self, and I’ll never stop being pissed…

“...But this is a lie.” Yes, yes, yes it is. Because as Germaine Greer put it, women have no idea how much men hate us. They lie to us about it all the damn time, so that we might believe them and trust them and take care of them and feed them and fuck them and look nice for them. All the while they keep their boots…

Fuck Tom and all the Toms of the world.
