Of course, the joyless and hypocritical mainstream access media had a field day with this one:
You know what I would like a major manufacturer of tampons to do? Make tampons. You know what I wouldn’t like them to do? Make creepy sex jokes on Twitter. This is a not-so-subtle reference to Tampax, which caused large swathes of the internet to see red after an off-colour tweet last week. “You’re in their DMs,” Tampax tweeted. “We’re in them. We are not the same.”

Tampax sparked a social media firestorm after it was accused of “sexualising women” over a joke tweet and, predictably, so-called ‘gender-critical’ folks were deeply triggered.

Tampax customers have been left totally unimpressed with the tampon brand, after it shared a controversial tweet which people say is 'sexualising periods'.
The US Twitter account for the popular brand shared the tweet on Monday, but it didn't land well with fellow social media users and some people have been left shocked by the comment, while others have pledged to boycott the feminine hygiene brand.

Many accused the angry people of using the tweet as an excuse to boycott a company that supports trans people
On Monday, the hygiene product brand Tampax tweeted a dirty joke that has riled up Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists (TERFS), who already went after the tampon company earlier this month after it made an ad deal with a transgender influencer.
The tweet declared, “You’re in their DMs. We’re in them. We are not the same.”
After some positive responses, #BoycottTampax began trending on Twitter.

The spineless brand issued an apology on their twitter, which worked as well as you'd expect.
Tampax US on Twitter "We messed up with our last tweet. We removed it and we apologize to everyone we offended. Respect is central to our brand values - our recent language did not reflect that. We have learned from this, and we will do better."
Fortunately, the LGBTABC mafia came to the defence of the brand, a product of P&G, a multinational billion dollar corporation. Keep on keeping on "progressives" lmao.
