Someone dropped by from the 1950s to whine about a tampon machine in the gents’ toilets – 15 entertaining clapbacks
Scottish podcaster Craig Houston, who unironically complains about things being ‘woke’, earned himself a virtual guard of honour of mockery after taking the time to bother the internet with this.

After seeing this Craig left the toilet and staggered around the hospital unable to comprehend where he was or what he was doing. He finally regained his senses when someone explained he could make a podcast episode about his deep personal trauma. https://t.co/M178jaA2rS

Transphobes mad that sanitary products are in the men's toilets, forgetting that men can get them for their partners & trans men use those toilets.
It's literally nothing to be bothered about unless you're obsessed with hating trans people. https://t.co/IbY9l9tYiC— Kăskă (she/her)️⚧️ (@KaskaJessica) January 6, 2025

Seems a lot of people don’t know that period products are freely available to those who need them.

Sinéad had a more mature attitude to sanitary products and gender.
There’s not one male in my life I’d feel embarrassed about seeing sanitary products or if I was in a situation where I had to ask them to buy me Sanitary products.Not one.last time I came across a male being weird about it was in childhood and they had the excuse of immaturity.. https://t.co/Se9HQWQw5p
