![]() It’s out there for the taking.What happens when an applicant for leave to remain in the UK as the partner of a British or settled person does not meet all of the requirements of the immigration rules? They may still be able to acquire leave to remain on the basis of their right to private and family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Get out in the world and get properly socialized about gender roles and period stigma like the rest of us. ![]() If you still don’t agree with me that the joke is funny, you should know there are a lot of notable people on Twitter right now who agree with me that the tampon joke was just absolutely classic, and not on par (golf pun!) with one-liners told by sixth-grade boys from 1994.įor example, sports writer Mark Harris and his backwards hat would like you to know that you just need to go outside more in order to get the punchline. And who are extremely, extremely tired of explaining that, yes, some men get periods and need period products. The trans population is also probably having a good knee slap over the joke, since they are constantly having to explain the difference between gender and sex to others, all while fielding completely inappropriate questions about their physical body, mental health, and private parts and trying to avoid harassment and violence. Certainly, they all understand that when someone can’t hit a ball as far as usual, it’s funny to think that it’s because of debilitating cramps. If only Tiger had been there for those 66 million women, who are often forced to use toilet paper, socks, and rags instead of period products to lend a hand and an impish smile!Īnd let’s not forget the 80% of women who suffer from period pain that keeps them at home for an average of nine days a year and is comparable to a hear attack. This joke is probably especially funny to the 40% of women and girls in America who have at some point in their lives experienced period poverty - a lack of access to period supplies and facilities. Doubly so because men are touching it, ungloved. The tampon itself, just out in the open, is worth a laugh. ![]() It’s funny to even see a man handling a tampon, unless they’re a grocery store checkout clerk, or gay or something. Cymbal crash! Close the curtains!Īnd - this is just the icing on the cake - the joke is also funny because menstruation and period products are still highly stigmatized, even in the modern day United States, largely because of good old sexism and misogyny. If you can’t use your ball and stick as well as usual, you are probably a weak, bleeding woman. And that his vagina is bleeding! Why would Tiger Woods mistakenly think that his competitor had a vagina? Because he didn’t hit the golf ball with his club as well as he usually does, and certainly not as well as Tiger just did. It’s also funny because it implies that Thomas does have a vagina. Once you recover from that, I need to tell you that there is an entire second layer to this joke. LOL, the tampon is useless to him! He doesn’t even need it, but Tiger gives it to him anyway. Because he doesn’t have a vagina, he has a penis! The joke is funny because Justin Thomas is a man who ostensibly doesn’t have a menstrual cycle, and therefore has no need for sanitary products, especially a sanitary product that is inserted into the vagina. And then we can all have a good laugh together. It’s sad.īut don’t worry, I - a woman who is not currently bleeding - will explain the joke so that even the woman with the absolutely heaviest period flow right now understands it. Also, many woman probably have their periods right now, and, as we all know, they get all mean and don’t understand jokes when they become hormonal monsters for a week out of the month. Most likely this is because women are not as intelligent as men, and all trans people are snowflakes except for Caitlin Jenner. Many people, including a lot of women and trans people, don’t get the joke. And after outdriving Justin Thomas on the ninth hole, he discretely slipped his competitor a Tampax tampon.Īnd then they both laughed about it, because it’s obviously the most hilarious prank ever. ![]() You might have seen this in the news: while playing in the PGA’s Genesis Invitational on Thursday, Tiger Woods played strongly in what many are calling a career comeback.
