Not all Menstruators Menstruate

117 replies

Seen on a FB group about reusable sanitary products, now renamed Sustainable Menstruators.

Admin is explaining how she has made the group more inclusive with the use of Menstruators, even if "not all menstruators bleed and not all menstruators menstruate."

I can't keep up. What the biscuit is a Menstruator when it's at home?

Ok, so it appears the Admin understands that Menstruators has gone down like a lead balloon. She will remove it but is unable to do so for 27 days. She is asking for alternatives that don't mention gender. I mean, the original group title was fine but I guess it didn't clearly indicate it was a woke place.

I suspect the weapons grade handmaiden of an admin believes that males can have menstrual cycles if taking female hormones. Like we see in the many batshit twitter threads where we see them thinking their IBS is a period.
Menstruators who don't menstruate.

Special eh?

That unforgettable line:

"Give me your clothes, your boots and your menstrual cycle"

😂😂👏👏

Maybe she's seen a gap in the market? Menstruators that don't menstruate? She could call them men-struators, or just 'men' for short....

I think you might be on to something there 😁

I very torn as to whether applaud that superb joke or be very pissed off I didn’t think of it myself 😂

Big fan of Menstruator, but only the first one and Menstruator 2: Judgment Day.

Menstruator : Rise of the Machines had some good bits but by Menstruator:Salvation I was out.

Surely Menstruator 2 is subtitled You’re Grounded?

I make reusables and buy them for my daughter. There are plenty of other sellers who don't use this pathetic, fetishistic language.

Fetishistic, that’s it. That creepy woman-erasing language always made my skin crawl, and you’ve hit on exactly why.

Admin has asked whether she should change Menstruators to uterus-owners. She is deadly serious.

The other thing is, as an inclusive group it also welcome friends of people with a cervix/uterus/menstrual powers. I've only just clicked this today (it used to have "and Companions" in the title and I stupidly thought Companions meant companion products, not Companions of people who used reusable menstrual products). It seems there are Companions who are definitely unable to have a period.

I am very definitely leaving the group, can't be dealing with this nonsense.

Can’t you stay a little longer to post dispatches from the front line?

Hairday · 07/09/2022 20:22

I mean, can't she just name the product or activity? Sustainable menstruation or whatever. Especially as "menstruators and non menstruators" means "people".

Thanks @NitroNine it's a little way off (i hope!) but good to be prepared.

No one has made any further comments in the group. I imagine the reasons for this are a) they are scared of speaking up, because it's clear what the party line is, b) they don't see the issue because they dont understand there is an issue, but most likely c) most people haven't even seen the posts/changes due to the algorithms. I will do my best to keep the discussion going to try and wake the woke.

@bellinisurge sorry, having a bad day, I realized after I posted the reply.

bellinisurge · 07/09/2022 15:59

And yes, some of these wankers are calling us non- men to differentiate

bellinisurge · 07/09/2022 15:58

Of course I'm joking. The bullshit is the made up words for women not concern about it.

bellinisurge · 07/09/2022 15:48

We're non-men @elferian . Get it right. Know your place. And other ridiculous bullshit

It simply shows why we cannot give up women meaning adult human female where female is those with the body type that has large gametes.

Be kind let them call themselves woman, we can be females.
Be kind let them call themselves females, we can be menstuators.
Be kind let them call themselves menstuators, we can be cervix havers.
Be kind let the think they are cervix havers, we can be.....???

would it be easier if we gave up and let them have it and just call ourselves men

'menstrual powers'?
WTAF are they?!
Turning milk sour, making crops fail, that kind of thing.'

So, looks like agriculture in general.
Well, might come in handy one day, you never know.
I'll keep mine for now then.
These powers, that is.

You wouldn’t get any repeat custom though as the product would never need to be used?

Unless … hmm, not sure I want to go there.

Notjusta · 07/09/2022 13:54

Do we start referring to people buying/using toilet roll as urinators and defecators?

Menstrual powers sounds like it needs to be rhymed with Mallory Towers in - perhaps in a Mallory Towers theme song.
