They would be dumb to market tampons to men. " Do you get frequent nose bleeds? Need a temporary plug for that oil bottle? Have a gunshot wound you need to deal with right now? Well have we got a product for you!"
It is not sexist. All sorts of cars are marketed mainly at men. Full-size pickups are marketed straight at men and men buy the vast majority of them. Minivans are marketed at women. It's marketing, not sexism.
