All men who cannot buy tampons have a problem with their masculinity? I suggest you re-read your post, next time I'll be going easy on you.
Allow me to reassert myself. How long have you been a member of this website? How many times have you posted here? How aware are you, of the social interactions that take place on here?

Let me shine some light on a couple of things:

This thread is listed in the "Women's Issues" sub-forum. Now just in case the logic of this fact escapes you, I shall assert that it is for women. Men are discouraged from posting in here, because the women enjoy having their own place free from the judging and scolding remarks of men who feel the need to stamp their ignorance upon everything they read. The more open-minded and less judgemental men are tolerated in our posts in the womens forum, provided we dont post anything offensive. I have a feeling there are some people who found your posts offensive. Why? Because you came into the (once again) WOMEN'S FORUM, into a topic a female member created out of a frustration she is experiencing in her personal life, and told her to STOP WHINING. Then proceeded to rant and complain about the fact that you thought she was whining. Followed by an attempt at a tongue-in-cheek comment about something you found unsatisfying in your own girlfriend.

Is any of this impacting you at all? No? It escapes you completely? Hmm.. I was afraid of that... On to the second part then..

Your post proved nothing, and was a poor attempt at justification. If your part of Europe is so liberal, then why is it so hard for you to buy a hygiene product? Are you afraid? Does it hurt your feelings? Does it make you feel "icky?" What other explanation can you give for the fact that you are unable and unwilling to purchase cotton, packaged in plastic, boxed in cardboard? Yes, I will say it again. Any man that has a problem buying tampons suffers from either: immasculinity, immaturity, or ignorance. And usually its an unhealthy mix of all three. Take your pick. Or entertain us by giving your own reasoning... Im sure its completely valid... Oh and.. the fact that your comment was towards a well-liked, longstanding group member had nothing to do with hierarchy, but more along the lines of.. we like her alot fucking better than we like you, so good luck finding the majority of people siding with you. Go ahead and be rude to whomever you choose, the results will be worth it.

Please... feel NO need to go easy on me, Im a big boy I can take it. Nothing you say to me over the internet or in person could possibly offend me, as I dont have enough respect for you or your opinion to have any sort of feasible affect. But please, by all means, explain to me how I am wrong, because I thoroughly enjoy having my eyes opened towards something I was previously ignorant about........
