So a guy can grab a couple of these for his partner and not have to buy them at the store? Oh, how emasculating! Just drop your testicles in the bin on the way out!

It is a bad self insert, but the movie predates both the Double Dragon movie and even the Double Dragon game.
But the opening text crawl says it all.
As a side note, they have a website where they're trying to make a third movie, a self biopic about their fight against the Canadian government.
These bitches really believe in their own bullcrap and hype. What a shocker.
I know there have been people in the past that like to rag on '80s or the '90s martial arts movies like Karate Kid or Best Of The Best, but at least those were made by people that care and not complete shit heads getting high off of their own farts. Canadian government can kick those two's asses and I will not feel a thing. Does anyone else from the '80s even bother remember these guys at this point? Their "film" will crash and burn.

I gotta come back at a later time to properly reply to you with this context, as there are deeper issues with unexplained nuances that I sense ppl are not aware of yet, but am currently on a bit of an unsober binge at mo (which, uhh, started yesterday 🫣) so can't trust myself to communicate anything important effectively until head is clear once more. I will be back tehe!

The actual problem is morons having to desperately pretend that this is a sign of the fall of western civilization and needs to be destroyed
Those comments are vile and really show the true spirit of christian compassion on the right. These people need some actual problems so that they can finally mature out of their puerile 9 year old cooties phase.
Like, fuck' sake dude, in your rush to decry A) virtue signaling and B) the occasional trans man, you've apparently completely glossed over C) that they're already stocking women's and gender neutral bathrooms and at that point stocking the men's as well consists solely of buying a few extra baskets

I doubt they considered exposing Asia Argento to be part of the aim though. Probably why there was less blowback than one might expect at the hypocrisy of one of Weinsteins's accusers paying off a guy she had an underage encounter with.
Or there's an emergency and the female restroom is out of order. Or (because this is America) someone has been shot in the office...
Well, tampons were originally designed to plug up bullet wounds on the battlefield....
Why not?
If anything, Asia Argento's "hypocrisy" demonstrates the extent to which sexual exploitation is normalized in the film industry to the point that a person who has been a victim of it might still be immersed in a culture where sexual exploitation is considered a normal way to behave.
Like, I'd really encourage you to actually look up Argento's account of her relationship with Weinstein, because it's not what you would expect at all. She is incredibly honest about what happened and how she reacted. She is not a perfect victim, she never claimed to be one and she shouldn't have to be one in order for it to be acknowledged how horrifically she was (and still is) being treated.
Like, I realise that societal attitudes on things can sometimes take time to change and that progress has to be incremental, but if there's one thing I wish #metoo had done for the popular consciousness, it would be to fucking murder this obsession with the "purity" of a person's victimhood. It doesn't matter. A person can be a complex individual and even do harm themselves and still be a victim.
At one level, I think everyone understands that. But it very much takes a back seat when the intent is just to portray them as a hypocrite in order to attack the movement or ideology they are associated with.
They do a rubbish job of that. Not, as an improvised band-aidTM maybe, but otherwise not really.
I dunno about that, I think people are still on the thing about victims being pure as snow and the abusers being cartoonishly evil monsters.
Yes, that exists. But pretty much everyone understand that people are complex, and that generally good people can do bad things and vice versa. The issue is more the selectivity with which they choose to apply it: particularly where one lacks a close connection to the individuals involved and it serves a useful ulterior motive, it's far easier to insert one's own ideological motivations.
Honestly, considering the company itself is providing them, I would be more worried about those tampons being made from the same shitty 1/2 ply paper they use for their awful toilet paper that all companies seem to have a never ending supply of.
You're reading hatred and condemnation where there is none. I do not hate or condemn people making inconsequential gestures. Again, neither I nor the person I quoted were claiming anyone was being hurt, just spending their efforts on non-issues.
No, the aim was to expose the preponderance of sexual assault everywhere. It was not and is not meant to be about specifically Hollywood. The combination of Hollywood people embracing the hashtag and the spotlights that shine on those people turned it into a specifically Hollywood thing, but that was never the intent.
If I had no education of how these things work, why would I even think to mention that they come in different sizes? Do you think that was an accidental guess? You read a post that was accurate and appreciative of the different experiences women have with periods, and then willfully chose to invent both ignorance and malice to insert into it.
You are leaving out the most significant part: the sign. They made carefully-phrased dedicated placards with company colors and logos, that is far more effort than the basket. Someone spent hours on that, likely with the intention of having their brand on social media. If you're unaware, the twitter account that posted the clown face with that has the specific m.o. of reposting content from left-wing social media accounts (usually from Tiktok). It is unlikely that picture was taken by a conservative intending to mock it on social media, it was almost certainly posted by a left-winger in support of the action, and if you asked me to bet on who specifically, my best guess would be Intuit's PR department. The company that makes TurboTax, who every year at this time gets raked over the coals for deceiving people into paying for free services, happens to get their name featured on a placard dedicated to telling you what they do to accommodate their trans employees... call me crazy, but there may be a causal relationship there.
To be clear, you're all going to bat for TurboTax.
Maybe just the victim not having a history of having done exactly the same thing they trying to be a spokesperson for drawing attention to? Oh, except her victim was underage which makes it worse and male.
You can be a victim and an abuser at the same time. It's not like they cancel out
It was never intended to be solely about Hollywood. But the exposure of the high rate of sexual assault, coercion, and abuse of positions of authority in Hollywood was a focus of the movement from its earliest stages.
This was impossible to miss. They were very up-front and explicit about the need to expose sexual abuse in Hollywood.
Maybe that's how you remember it. I'd recommend actually looking it up though.
I followed it at the time, and checked again when reading this thread to refresh my memory. Exposing sexual assault in Hollywood was an explicit aim, very obviously so.
You have a terrible track record of failing to understand what your opponents actually believe, and then bullishly insisting (against their own words) that they believe what you've imagined for them.
