    At the risk of losing brain cells, I’m extremely curious what her reasoning is here.

    Is it just cause it’s childish? Is shaming men for liking childish things not enforcing toxic masculinity?

      If Cindy is commenting on him liking something she considers childish, then Cindy is indeed a bitch.

      But if she’s commenting on his apparent expectation that it be free for men in their twenties as if he’s owed something, that I can kinda see her point.

      Would be nice if she made her point in a way in which her meaning could be clearly understood.

              Reading must be very difficult for you with that level of comprehension.

              If he didn’t mean only men, there’s less than no reason to specify men nor an age range.

              Please, learn to read. For your own sake.

          I don’t think think so. I’m not even sure my interpretation was actually why she reacted that way.

          No, but it is passively transphobic, in that you’re forgetting that men and non-binary people may also use tampons. Tampons and every other necessity should be free for everyone.

      I’m just curious how she expects us to educate ourselves about this.

      It’s definitely related.

      Not exactly childish, but usually you can apply it more broadly as a man enjoying something that isn’t seen as outwardly productive.

      Before seeing the reply, my l reaction to his post was “this is some bullshit. I wanna ride go-carts too.”

      Cindy needs to calm down though. I’m sure he didn’t mean women wouldn’t be allowed on the track; just that this man really likes go-carts.

      Maybe him having “Caucasian James” as a handle makes her think he’s a racist? (Which is itself silly since it’s more likely a reference to The Office, but it’s all I can come up with.)
