Original Thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/gieqqh/today_in_where_have_you_been_all_my_life_a_pad/ Here are the comments I posted on TwoX - no idea which one I was banned for: >We also don't show people cleaning up dog shit with bounty paper towels or blowing giant yellow snot/semen loads all over their kleenex. >Is it because society is afraid of dogs or is it possible that these brands don't want to be associated with feces/semen/blood even if that's what they're generally used for? >Careful - we're not allowed to be too reasonable on this sub. [Added after reaching 5 downvotes] --- >>>>To be fair with the way he seems to treat women he might actually be primarily using kleenex for semen. >>>The way I seem to treat women? >>>You certainly took a lot from a comment I made about marketing friend. >>"Careful -we're not allowed to be too reasonable on this sub". Written about a sub for women, about women's issues. Do you claim that was not a disrespectful comment playing into the old trope of women being irrational and unreasonable? And then turning around with a classic gaslighting "you are reading too much into this". >>I feel sorry for any woman in your life. >Bro TwoXChromosomes is not indicative of women in general at all whatsoever. >I'm pretty sure it's modded by mostly men right off the bat. >It's like a parody of feminism IMO. >My wife laughed at this thread and agreed that she doesn't want to see blood in tampon commercials - she said she wouldn't want to see poop in diaper commercials either. Who would've thought except, you know, every normal human being. >Secondly, you're silly for passing judgement on others because of a reddit comment you're not even intelligent enough to read properly. >Stop trying so hard to be offended - it makes you look really silly. --- >Yeah, this is the thing that feminists don't seem to understand when they talk about things like the "pink tax." >We all have to poop - it's not our choice - why do we have to pay taxes on toilet paper? >And they also conveniently neglect to mention the fact that there are plenty of men buying tampons/pads for their family members (wives, daughters, mothers, etc.). >I've bought feminine hygiene products most of my life (and I've obviously never used them). --- >I was referring to specifically complaints about tax on tampons/pads which are all over the sub ([22k upvotes here](https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/873ub0/more_states_move_to_end_tampon_tax_thats_seen_as/)). >As for female products costing more than their comparable male counterparts, I think you can guess who's to blame there (hint: it's not men). >There's no point in buying a more expensive razor just because it's pink (and visa versa). >If pink razors were half price, that's all I'd buy. --- >While I have qualms with this sub, this is obviously too far. >And one of the qualms is that they ban pretty liberally so... RIP --- >>toilet paper literally isn’t taxed because it’s a bodily function >Toilet paper is taxed - just like almost everything else sold to people of every sex. >https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2017/02/08/tampon-sales-tax-should-not-be-eliminated-in-texas/ >As to your second point, obviously companies are going to charge what people are willing to pay. If women are willing to pay more for the pink version of the same thing because they buy into the marketing, they should just ... not do that... right? Problem solved. --- >Sorry you had to deal with this thread also - love you 💖 >Thanks for fighting the good fight - my wife agrees with you too. ---
