New in PJ Media:
At least at this point, the woke tide seems to have crested, and in many areas, sanity is returning to America. Cancel culture has lost its teeth, and many ascribe Trump’s reelection to general disgust with the glorification of madness and perversion, the destruction of women’s sports, and the endless pandering to minuscule sub-minorities who wielded influence far out of proportion to their actual numbers. But the tide turning does not at all mean that woke insanity has disappeared; it is still very much with us, as a roiling controversy at Mark Zuckerberg’s social media giant Meta demonstrates.
Zuckerberg has recently taken a turn toward rationality, renouncing his former embrace of leftist authoritarianism and censorship of dissenting voices and rolling back the silencing of dissidents on Facebook. The New York Post reported Friday that several weeks ago, Zuckerberg “overhauled a variety of Meta’s internal and external policies, ranging from lifting restrictions on speech to ‘restore free expression’ across his platforms to changing its ‘Hateful Conduct’ policy to allow criticism of gender identity.” That’s all to the good, but when Zuckerberg attempted to swing the pendulum back even farther toward common sense, he ran into an angry gaggle of Meta employees who would much rather cling to their delusions, thankyouverymuch.
The Post noted that “after Meta removed tampons from men’s bathrooms in company office buildings earlier this month, some employees started coordinating ‘quiet rebellions’ by bringing in their own.” Oh, for Pete’s sake. The lunacy, it burns. From this “quiet rebellion” at Meta, we learn not only that staffing the place is a significant number of women who think they’re men, but that these women are so determined to cling to these fantasies that they believe that a quiet and reasonable move to nudge them back to reality is some kind of oppressive measure that they must righteously resist.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that these courageous freedom fighters decided that the missing tampons constituted a hill on which they were willing to die: in order to “protest Mr. Zuckerberg’s actions, some Meta workers soon brought their own tampons, pads, and liners to the men’s bathrooms, five people with knowledge of the effort said. A group of employees also circulated a petition to save the tampons.” Yes, “save the tampons.” It does have quite the ring of “save the whales,” but the advocates of this case feel just as righteous as the whale-savers. Women must be able to pretend they’re men and get sanitary napkins in men’s rooms, or white supremacy wins, you see.
There is more. Read the rest here.

The mentally ill should not have their delusional psychosis validated, they should be treated by a mental health professional.

Meta is cutting staff. Maybe these people should be the first to go if they actually break company rules.

That is what Corporate America is doing. DEI initiatives, as well as staff and hires, are the first to go! That’s the first obvious deadwood clearly there for the raking

The insanity clean up and firing will bring law suits galore which is a great example of why you do not cater to whims of the insane.

Imagine having a good job and what you worry about is tampons in the men’s room? You protest against your boss over this talk about asking to get fired?
Eva says
So fire them.
If they’re stupid enough to believe that men have periods, they’re too stupid to have their jobs.
sporticus says
I ain’t cool.
I don’t live in Noo Yawk.
So please tell me -is there an “off-label” use for tampons?
What would a guy use one for?
Answer: A guy wouldn’t use one. He’d at least use two, and more, because stupid begets more stupid.
Maybe Dracula could use a few dozen cartons but that’s about it.

I must have missed something in medical school:
What does a man do with a tampon?

On Megyn Kelly, I heard one of her guests narrate a story about how one school tried out the tampons in the boys’ room, and the cleaning staff had a major cleanup issue the next day, since boys were using it as toys and for all sorts of weird uses. They had a major stink, in a manner of speaking, about it, and after a week’s experiment, that tampon dispenser was gone

Your quote, “What does a man do with a tampon”?
Ram it down the mouth of a Woke to shut them up.

Some people are just plain stupid. If a person needs this *sanitary product,,* then that person is female.
And if they don’t want to *reason* it out, they could use *reason* in a different way. Males are now allowed, in many areas, to enter the women’s/girls’ restrooms. So these women, who pretend to be men, should just go into the woman’s restroom and get what they need. Or they could just carry them in their bags, back packs, brief cases, etc.
Instead, they choose to be stupid.

In Women Shelters in Montreal Quebec you find biological men supposedly “trans feminine” who have manifest physical and psychological male characteristics up to even one with beard and moustache. 100% testosterone dominators and territorials.
So “trans masculine” biological females’ who menstruate and give birth through their “front hole” …. Everybody falls for it, right?
Heard one of these trans masculine bio females complaining she did not find confidents friends among real men. I can figure her plump female body with delicate skin and bones with hormone induced hirsutism not very attractive for anything whatsoever related to truth.
Palladini says
Idiots, all of them. Tampoons should not be in men’s washroom and women should not be in there either
somehistory says
women pretending to be male would not go in to men’s restrooms if there were no regular toilets.
women pretending to be male, are mentally ill. Many of the males pretending to be women, are rapists.

In the 90s, I heard about some academic coming out w/ a concept called a “sherinal”
– a contraption that would allow girls to pee while standing, just like guys do in front of a urinal. Surprised that the trannie crowd didn’t demand that while barging into female restrooms

The title of the feature article:
“Revolt of the Insane…”
Perfectly stated.
Troybeam says
Fire the cry babies, work place does not need to cater to these people besides there are only 2 places a man can use a tampon, nasally and anally….nobody wants to know who uses which location.

Revolt of the Insane: Meta Staffers Enraged Over Removal of Tampons from Men’s Rooms
……………………………
Back when I was in college, I worked at the International House in Berkeley. I’d have seen refilling the tampon machines in the men’s room as something I’d really pretty much never have to worry about needing doing…
