TamponGate

Morning

Isn't it sexist to challenge why a man would hand another man a tampon? I thought the whole point of equality is that nobody can assume anything about anyone?

Oh, and it was a terrible joke by an utter turd of a human being.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Come on lads not like he's got blood on his hands is it???

...Not with that super absorbency anyhow.

 

[canuckblue]

Anyone else get a Charles-Camilla vibe from the whole thing?

 

[IrishBlue2022]

The only remotely interesting thing about golf....

I reckon the only people genuinly offended by this joke are raging feminists and non-binary attention seekers that pretend to have the right hole to put a tampon.
I can understand people thinking it's not particularly funny but getting offended by it is just ridiculous.

I am outraged by this insensitive post. Having now dealt with the PR....you are right. Dealing with racists, sexists etc. is made more difficult by the constant assaults from the desperate to be offended who cheapen the whole debate with utter nonsense.

The self-congratulatory Tory is attracted to golf like a moth to a light. They split their time between that and the Masonic Lodge and loudly purchase raffle tickets for charity at Rotary Club dinners whilst not actually having any capacity for empathy. Bomb them!!!

Once had the "pleasure" of attending Lymm golf club, and can confirm that they are all, to a man, complete and utter (really naughty word)s.

 

[Rob17896]

I think I've become completely numb to other people getting offended. Which is a shame, but its a consequence of so many attention seekers crying wolf, so to speak. Or maybe we should blame the media for promulgating the "offended" stories just as click bait.

In a world where our elected leaders are self interested crooks, where children are sold to the sex industry, where a leader of one of the world big powers goes postal and puts us at the brink of world war, where capitalism and its governments allow energy companies to make vast profits amidst an ocean of poverty and people in one of the wealthiest nations require food banks THIS is what some people find offensive? THIS is what our media choose to share with us as news?

Go cry me a river you pathetic, narrow minded simpering morons. What a planet ffs!

On the money. Read Bernie Sanders interview in The Guardian (website) yesterday. The world economies are controlled by the incredibly wealthy and the system is designed to keep it that way. Look up Gary Stephenson on youtube as well.
We need to have governments prepared to govern in the common interest and we dont have them. They want us to talk about anything but the real issue.

 

[slipstream86]

Is the outrage justified or do people have to complain about bloody everything ?

Tiger Woods apologises for tampon prank

Tiger Woods has apologised after being criticised for handing a tampon to fellow American Justin Thomas as a joke during the first round of the Genesis Invitational.

Pun intended?

Been saying the same for donkeys years. Popular media owned by billionaires ... its in their interests to ignore bad stories about any government that panders to the wealthy and attack any potential party that might aim forca fairer system.

Yep. And that is why I would block all the silicon valley social media sites and develop a nationalised one.

Indeed

Well I found it funny.

Getting sick of these white knights on forums who try to pull others out on to score points regarding racial and other views . If you can't have some banter on a forum maybe it's not for you...then maybe it's not for me having open views or a bit of light hearted humour that others who aren't actually effected by are 'emotionally effected by'

Genuine banter is usually a two way exchange between parties with nobody punching down.

Do you genuinely believe your wheelchair 'vegetable' comment can be defined that way?
