Possibly the worst thing about this post is the denial of facts to suit your internalized misogyny.

"The picture that is painted is that women can’t afford tampons because they are victimised through lower wages, “pink tax” on women’s goods etc etc. Women using socks for period control, being embarrassed by having blood appear on clothes…. I could go on..."

You've just produced a laundry list of "complaints" that are fairly easy to confirm - period poverty is a thing, there IS a gender pay gap, there is such a thing as the "pink tax". It's not someone's opinion, it's fact.

And the most laughable - is that you're demanding empathy from feminists, while denying that very thing to women experiencing period poverty.

If you're going to have such views, you could at least present them with some semblance of logic.
