The woke mob inside Meta is in full meltdown mode after CEO Mark Zuckerberg made a commonsense decision to remove tampons from men’s bathrooms in company offices. This sensible move, part of a broader effort to restore rational policies inside the tech giant, has sent leftist employees into a tailspin, leading to bizarre acts of so-called “quiet rebellion.”
According to a New York Times report, some employees are now smuggling tampons and pads into men’s bathrooms to protest the policy change. A small group of woke activists even circulated a petition begging Zuckerberg to reinstate the absurd practice of stocking men’s restrooms with feminine hygiene products—items that men simply do not need.
This tantrum comes in response to Zuckerberg’s recent shift toward more balanced policies, which include rolling back speech restrictions to restore free expression across Meta’s platforms and revising the company’s “Hateful Conduct” policy to allow legitimate criticism of gender identity ideology.
The move to stop pandering to radical gender activists by removing women’s sanitary products from men’s bathrooms particularly enraged Meta’s most ideologically driven employees.
In response, some leftist staffers have been staging pathetic and childish protests—bringing their own tampons to men’s restrooms in an attempt to “defy” company leadership. According to five anonymous employees who spoke to the Times, this resistance is part of a broader backlash against Meta’s supposed “rightward shift.”
The company’s Vice President of Workplace Services addressed the petition signers directly via email, making it clear that Meta has no intention of reversing course.
“It was not the intention of Meta leadership to make employees feel unwelcome or excluded in our offices, but at this point, we do not have plans to revisit our on-site amenities offerings.”
Translation: The days of caving to radical gender activists inside Meta are over.
The Times lamented that this is just one example of “quiet rebellions” inside Silicon Valley, as leftist employees struggle to accept the reality that their bosses—once reliable enforcers of progressive groupthink—are now embracing a more balanced, rational approach to corporate culture.
While Meta leadership is normalizing relations with President Trump and aligning with policies that reflect reality, employees are left to engage in “subtle acts of defiance”—a far cry from the loud, performative protests that defined the tech industry during Trump’s first administration.
Further highlighting their meltdown, woke employees submitted ridiculous questions for an upcoming company Q&A with Zuckerberg, including one asking how women at Meta could provide more “masculine energy” in the workplace. This was clearly a response to Zuckerberg’s recent comments on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he praised masculine energy as a positive force in business and leadership.
Predictably, Meta clamped down on these efforts, limiting how employees could submit questions to leadership and ensuring that unserious, politically motivated distractions wouldn’t derail company discussions.
The Bottom Line
Silicon Valley’s leftist stronghold is crumbling. Meta’s woke employees are desperately clinging to their delusions, but Zuckerberg’s leadership signals a return to common sense. Whether it’s restoring free speech, resisting radical gender ideology, or forging ties with President Trump, the tide is turning.
The era of unchecked leftist dominance in Big Tech is coming to an end—one rejected tampon at a time.
