    Yeah I guess I don’t know much about the Uk or other countries, I’m just speaking for my experience in the US.

      But you you did know enough to be smug about it, apparently. These crazy Lemmy people saying such silly things.

        I’m not saying it never happened, just that it isn’t a thing anymore, not in any mainstream sense. Obviously there are small communities or whatever. There always are, but they are not representative of any significant group of people and can’t be pointed to as an example of some kind. This is the kind of thing lemmy/reddit does all the time that gets really annoying. It’s low effort circle jerking, and people just eat it up because it makes them feel superior.

          Did you miss the part where Catholic and conservative countries still uses tampons less than other countries. The main issue is that they think it

          A. Increase masturbation because it requires the girl to familiarize themselves with their own genitals

          And

          B. Breaks the hymen and makes the girl no longer a virgin.

          These are things that conservatives absolutely still care about and if you read r/twoXchromosomes you will eventually see women with conservative parents having to snuggle their tampons into the house.

          Also, why are conservatives losing their minds over Tim Walz providing tampons to schools if what I am saying isn’t a thing anymore?

          Like a presidential candidate once said, things dont just fall out of coconut trees. They are influenced by what was before.

            The tampon thing is about requiring schools to put them in the boys bathrooms, which is a totally different thing. But also my response is about my experience in the US.

                How do you define far right? I’d guess most of the people around me would be considered far right by lemmy standards, and I’m not aware of any of them being concerned about tampons. But maybe I just don’t know about the real far right.

                  No, I just think you are stupid and not very curious about why people hold the opinions they hold. Common problem with republicans.

                    Let me just point out that being hostile to people who challenge your preconceived notions is not a sign of great intelligence.

          So you went from asserting a thing doesn’t happen, to admitting you’re talking out of your ass, to doubling down again on a subject you’ve just said you know nothing about? Talk about clowns on the internet lmao
