    How are tampons a scam? Especially in the context of hair products?

      gendered products are scams, tampons are actually toxic, plus insanely expensive, which they don’t need to be.

        That’s a scandal, not just a scam. But tampons are actually a necessity for many women who are not comfortable with other period products.
        I see your point with many gendered products like pink kinder surprise that cost more than the regular or an unnecessary bunch of hair products marketed gendered.
        But the way you delivered your example in this context was not well phrased.
