Guy buying condoms? He's hoping to get some.

Guy buying tampons? He's definitely getting some.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And probably using condoms or he'd be buying pregnancy tests instead

Have the republicans banned birth control in your state already?

Nurse, this man neds 50cc's of swagger, stat! And go make me a sandwich, because I'll turn gay if I go into the staff kitchen.

Fuck, he's crashing! Tell respiratory to prepare a cigar smoke nebulizer. Set up a tren drip! Nurse, I ordered that casual misogyny an hour ago, where is it?!

[–] Thassodar@lemm.ee 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nurse, I ordered that casual misogyny an hour ago, ~~where is it~~ did one of you females mess up the order again?!

FTFY

I'm so sorry, sir! All I found in the women's cabinet was blatant misogyny, all of the casual emergency/accidental misogynies are a week late because I am ON MY PERIOD!!

[–] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

And now they’ve got him deep throating a fat, girthy, breathing tube?! That is like.. HELLA GAY!

Are guys really worried about manliness when picking up tampons at the store? If anything it'd make a guy look better to me. Picture this: big scruffy sweatpants dude shuffling your way in a tight alley in the early hours of the morning... Then oops! he drops his box of tampons.

He could probably stab me cuz that would drop my guard big time.

A friend in high school heard me and the girls whispering (one of whom was his girlfriend). When he found out one of us needed a pad or tampons and we were seeing who had some, he got excited for the chance to go to the store to get them for us, because he said that buying tampons is the same as screaming, "I have a woman!!!"

I hope that guy is happy, wherever he is. He was a kind soul.

and then use the tampons to avoid leaving blood traces

[–] Visstix@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm mostly worried about which one to grab

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

This is why I always wrote down very precisely what pads I needed for my husband to grab, or just took a photo and sent that.

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

Tnx, the funniest thing I've read in a while

Honest question, WTF is going on over in America?

From my POV as an outsider looking in, your whole political system has gone mental. What happened to just governing and campaigning with common sense? How the hell did the truth become optional? Why is every issue a "culture war" issue? I can't wrap my head around it.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 month ago

As someone on the inside of the US...I don't know. We've always had a pretty strong strain of anti-intellectual idiocy, but the past decade or two has just been bizarre. The ugly hate and willful ignorance is embarrassing, scary, and really demoralizing.

When interviewed, a Friend of the victim said: dang bro, this beast would usually just smash a 6er of Busch light, blast some rock music and he be back to clam-slammin' in no time flat!

[–] Kwakigra@beehaw.org 7 points 1 month ago

The tampon market has been neglecting men for as long as it's been around. When are we going to see "rough and tumble tampons for tough guys" so we can finally get some respect?
