Another retailer of womens menstrual products that refuses to use the word "woman". Very disappointed!

Perhaps a full range. .women , girl...transmen , non binary etc in different colours so we can all tell the difference Grin

I have messeged them about this, all I got back was a twee messege about how they are trying to make the world a more inclusive place

FFS!!

Clearly that doesn't include my money then.

I actually feel really quite betrayed by this! Thanks for all the solidarity.

Oh no! I literally ordered some this morning ... now I’m annoyed that they have my money

As a maker and seller of WOMENS sanitary products, I have absolutely no problem my competitors choosing to exclude themselves from the marketplace 😂

Oh ffs.

I recently bought some of their pads too.

I just bought my husband ‘man balm’ and we both instantly thought, how transphobic! We realised they should say ‘prostate owners balm’ but our daughter preferred ‘ non menstruators balm’, however I reminded her that’s what the group formerly known as post menopausal women are now called, so we’d have to suggest something else.

Meanwhile shethinx who also never use the word woman, are being told off on Instagram for not talking about trans people enough and centering them like Luna pads or something do... I mean Christ, even menstruation is now being fought over with males.

FFS. I'm out of more eloquent commentary today.

The DLL (Dublin Lesbian Line) is now manned (I use the term advisedly) by "female-identifying" people. It also asterixes the word "woman" but I can't find a key to what "woman" means in their world Hmm I'm guessing here ... but if I wanted to talk to someone about some aspect or issue related to being a gay woman, top of my list would be a gay woman, but almost definitely not a heterosexual man who identifies as female.

How did we get to the point where misogyny is considered a positive marketing tool for menstrual products? They deserve to go bust.

I have messeged them about this, all I got back was a twee messege about how they are trying to make the world a more inclusive place, but not inclusive for real women it would seem, you know, the ones who actually use thier products...

I think your phone’s autocorrect has sabotaged your post, OP. It has changed “have drunk” into “have drank”, in complete disregard of grammar!

They drink, they drank, they have drunk.
My phone has a similar problem with changing “more than” to “more then”. Sigh.
That advert is pathetic - they are trying to virtue signal and earn points from the woke and hard of thinking.
Only women bleed. As in the famous song of that name!

Oh ye gods.

I have yet to meet a man who has spent money on tampons for himself.
