A week after his anti-tampon Twitter tirade telling women to simply “control ur bladder”, Ryan Williams claims he has been dumped by his mortified girlfriend.
Last week, 19-year-old Williams took to Twitter to express his frustration with women who dared to suggest an end to the ‘tampon tax‘ writing, “Tampons should not be free, why does everyone keep saying they should be?? if u can’t control ur bladder then that’s not taxpayers problem!”
Yep, that is an adult male who thinks women menstruate from their bladder.
“Pay for ur own tampons if u can’t hold it until u get to a toilet,” the self-described ‘meninist’ continued. “I don’t urinate everywhere and expect free nappies#selfcontrol.”
But before you get the wrong idea, Williams doesn’t think condoms should be free either. So, you know, there’s that.
But the highlight of the just plain stupid rant was this gem:
Williams, it seems, actually got something right. His girlfriend, 19-year-old Clare Kennedy is, in fact, not crazy. She was apparently mortified by his lack of knowledge of female anatomy and put an end to their 15-month relationship.
“My girlfriend dumped me after her friends sent her pictures of my tweets,’ Williams says to The Sun.
“She was crying when she saw some of the abuse I was getting.
“She was upset that I came out as a meninist and her family was upset that she was being associated with me.
“She is worried people will think she is weird.”
In an effort to try and win Clare back and “get some of the hate to stop”, Williams says he went to a biology course at college, but in what I’m pretty sure is a desperate attempt to milk his 15-minutes of fame, Williams says the instructors attempts to explain female anatomy did little to educate him.
