    Eh. At least part of the joke seems to be “tampons for men? How preposterous, men don’t need tampons”. That said, I really want tampons for transmen to be a thing

      men don’t need tampons

      Ahh, shit. Really? I just ordered them, because the ad is impressive.

      What can I do with them now? Nosebleeding, maybe?

      i didn’t make it, but my read on it was as a critique of male-gendered products go over the top injecting “masculinity” into their branding. they do mention the pink tax (“20% cheaper for no reason!”), i don’t know that reactionaries would include something like that. Either way, I agree wholeheartedly that tampons for men who need them should be normalized.
