Am I the only woman not offended by the Tiger Woods tampon incident?

I would love it if women would throw tampons at him everywhere he goes. Maybe that would be even funnier! We're so cool that we love your joke!

Or, honestly, people should start throwing condoms at him since he's such a dick.

If only Justin gave Tiger a noose maybe he would get how stupid his jesture was. It's cool to hate women, but racism is totally not ok. Fun times we live in.

It would be even funnier if this is a Tampax viral marketing campaign and we are all getting punked. This type of exposure is priceless.

Anyways, even if it was a prank, they never intended it to be a public spectacle. It was supposed to be a private moment, but not for a high speed camera taking multiple photos per second. Id feel differently if Tiger had turned a more public moment into a tampon spectacle - eg handed him a box of tampons during the award ceremony.

Misogyny isn’t okay just because you keep it private. That actually makes it worse, because it shows you know it’s sufficiently bad that you shouldn’t do it in public.

Oh god

Rage on white women

NP - I was offended. Think about why he did it. He could have chosen just about any other thing to poke fun at his friend. But he chose a tampon - as if to say, 'you played like a girl' or 'you pussy' because that's where the tampon goes, right?

I would love it if every time he goes out, people throw tampons at him. And that every image on the internet of his face, turns into a tampon.

I am sick of men, in positions of influence, doing something that is insensitive and offensive to women. It is misogynistic because he chose a tampon! Something only applying to women who menstruate. Women only.

Exactly!!

For those not offended, please say, out loud, what Tiger intended by giving that guy a tampon?

Besides the millions he has given to promote the game of golf for minorities.

If you have never played golf then you will never get the joke.

He wasn't when the other golfer flubbed a shot. It was when Tiger (age 47) out drove a 20 something playing partner who he has a long standing friendship with. He intended to say I out drove you.

“I outdrove you so much you might as well be a woman.”
My eighth grader knows this kind of “joke” is stupid.

He could have given him a sun visor with a gopher on it, or he could have given him a Baby Ruth candy bar (Caddyshack). He could have given him anything other than an obvious symbol of his denigrating women.

Kids look up to these sports stars like Tiger. He knows that-- he can + should do better. He should not get a free pass for his behavior because he is a POC.

How does a tampon say this in any way?

It doesn’t bother me because his past behavior made me lose interest in him as an athlete. He just looks immature and cheesy. Again.
