He might be a c**t. It's -impossible- to tell. What's not impossible to tell is that she definitely is a c**t. She's shown us as much. But as for him, we only have this demonstrated c**t's word to go on. I reckon I know what kind of person would unquestionably sympathise and side with an absolute and undeniable c**t...

...some care and compassion. Instead, she opted for self-gratification at his very public expense. What an outstanding human being. And not an eye was batted by the audience. What outstanding people.

What sort of a person responds to a person who she apparently cares deeply about, she might have even used the word "love", showing apprehension about doing something that could only be explained by a fear of public ridicule or judgement by laughing at them and then immediately publicly ridiculing them about the issue concerned? What sort of as person? And when this person she apparently cares about informs her of a boundary he wants respected she not only the disrespects the boundary but entirely violates it as thoroughly as can be by inviting every self-centred female on the planet to also violate the boundary? And, what sort of a person joins in on that behaviour? When you have so many people on the planet who think that because they have a c**t that it's either impossible or entirely appropriate for them to be a c**t, then what do you expect? Really, what do you expect? She could have showed some understanding and tried to get to the issue. She could have shown her "love" some...

Just, take a step back and read the article again. Take note of the quick use of the term "fragile masculinity". Take note also of the common and frequent quick use of the "toxic masculinity". So, we're supposed to be both sensitive and strong. Take note also that this is a personal criticism. So, apparently this guy is not cooperating with this woman's wishes, and apparently that happens in a vacuum and it reflects on him alone. And she's demonstrating what kind of person she is as she tells you about her demonstrating what sort of person she is by her behaviour. And take note also that every woman on this page sees nothing at all wrong with her doing this. Can you see a problem yet?

Well, if women could refrain from constantly man-bashing and trying to shame men for everything imaginable - f****d if we do, f****d if we don't in every situation - then maybe some men might be less hesitant to do such things. Make sense?

No, the reason is that an average super market has a 5 feet wall of pads of different sizes and brands and that there is not way to pick the correct ones for a guy.

You're not alone! I once spent 10 minutes looking for panty liners that didn't have some obnoxious scent, and I still made a mistake because I didn't notice the fine print... (I ordered a bunch of washable ones that day so it's actually all good)

I've asked women in the store if they new what my girlfriend wanted when there was something like 'tri-wing delta shape with clips' in medium-soft. Never been disappointed by the help I got.

Agreed. The amount and variety has skyrocketed. I will have to say that , on my top inventions in the last 50 years, having self stick, thin pads has got to be up there. I remember going to the nurse as a teenager and she handed me something about 2 inches thick with safety pins to attach. Egads.

always take a picture of the exact product (if your store doesn't have a good app) and hope they don't rebrand it :)

I have to send my husband a picture lol

Trust me, even we women have trouble picking the “right” one. 🙄

Green bag with 36 orange paper wrapped pads at Walmart is what I get.

My wife has to send me a photo of what to buy. Or a link to the product on the Walmart app.

Lol that’s the same issue my partner has with getting pads. He always gets them for me, probably more than I even get them for myself. But he sometimes gets the wrong ones, because the choices are overwhelming and vary so much from store to store. Even the same brand can offer lots of iterations of the same product. I’m a woman and even I can get mixed up in the pad aisle sometimes.

I even accidentally bought the wrong thing for myself once. I wouldn’t trust a guy to buy menstrual products for me. Like he should be okay with it - I mean it’s not like any cashier cares anyway - but I wouldn’t trust him.

Yeah, he sounds like the type who will bolt when you need help the most, for example after a car accident or during chemo.

Savage 😂

That is so awesome, way to go for mama and son, you should both be proud :) this is how we break the cycle of shame etc, by educating both genders :) I hope my son (currently 10) will have the same attitude, it's what I'm aiming for in regards to him being aware of the unfair biases in the world

That's pretty amusing. I like your dad's spirit

Also a cool pad or tampon doesn’t even sound bad lol.

It's not just Americans......

There's European men who have problems with buying hygiene products for women. I've had ex boyfriends that just flat out refused to buy me pads when I got surprised by my period.

Unfortunately not only Americans. My father once complained that so much dust was blown out of the air vents in his apartment. Recommended to put the sock end of a pantyhose around the air vent thingy, and he was totally shocked and asked me how he would get a pantyhose. I was like: erm...buy one at the store?? He answered he cannot do that because then the cashier would think that he buys it only to wear it himself. Told him just to buy a size small, cause everyone can see he would not fit in one of those... Somehow he did not like that answer. But I just don't understand the logic. If a woman buys condoms, do the cashiers think that the woman has a d**k?

Maybe it's regional in America, but I've never known anyone to be that weird about it, and I'm in America.

America is soooo homophobic. The educational system is terrible too, so that doesn't help.

Your brother sounds nice.

I love that, brake pads lol!
