to think that if you are selling menstrual pads & think that the word is 'woman' is offensive then you deserve to go out of business

They're targeting woke millenial though aren't they? Unfortunately there is a huge market for all this nonsense.

The 'content warning' is for the use of 'woman' here:

"We’ve all been told (probably numerous times) that our worst period problems — cramps, PMS, super heavy flow, blood clots, migraines, teenagelike acne, bloating, and exhaustion — are completely normal. Yup, just part of this whole “being a woman” thing."

Because that's not part of 'being a woman' at all it's just some mysterious thing that randomly happens to people of indeterminate gender.

I have no idea what this means

sorry there is an extra 'is' in the title.

Should read

'think that the word 'woman' is offensive'.

I'm so fed up with all this stuff, if you want to act like a woman for whatever reason, that's fine. My sister's neighbour is a transsexual, always dressed in nice clothes, wig, makeup etc, and I always call her by her chosen female name. But, she will never need sanitary protection, she doesn't have periods. Why can't they just say for women?

Other paragraphs actually say 'people with uteruses' and 'menstruators' ! Gives you a warm glow

Sorry, not sure what I’m missing but isn’t the advert just saying “you get all this stuff as a woman but you don’t have to put up with this”?

Transmen and non-binary people get periods too.

"Sorry, not sure what I’m missing" It says 'content warning: gendered lanuage'.

It's saying that using the words 'female' or 'woman' in the context of menstruation is offensive.

Fucking wankstains I missed that. Outfuckingrageous

" non-binary people"

There's no such thing. At least not under UK law. Meaningless term.

Yes I'm a woman, yes I have periods but what concerns me is I have never yet decided to go out cycling in ultra-tight white shorts when my period is on. Nor have I had the urge to roller-skate. And as for the slight 'accidents' when I sneeze I have never felt the need to reassure myself on either zipwire or trampet.

The people who market these products are clearly totally insane. If they decide everyone can have periods (and participate in the fun experience) just stick your fingers in your ears and go lalala

Theyve missed out significant groups there. Surely they should also include a warning for menopausal women or women who have had to undergo hysterectomies. It might upset them too

Yes what if you are pregnant.

Content warning: discussion of product relevant to one sex only.

Do they have a 'CW' on dictionaries nowadays?

When I see CW I don't think of content warning, I think of cockwomble.

Infuriating and absolutely pathetic.

Could it be because it's the Canadian account and they have drunk the cool aid, so would have to post such a bullshit warning?

Guess CW could also be for CisWoman?

The writer for them who referred to women as 'menstruators' and 'people with uteruses' has also been using the same terminology when talking about cervical screening.

And from the same site "Did you know that many STIs affect women differently than men? Or, to be more specific, they affect people with vaginas and uteruses differently than people with penises."

Nope. You didn't need to be 'more specific'.

I don't know wether to laugh or cry

Why are men's health charities like prostate cancer UK still using the word man without any similar issues?

I think that's covered by the 8th rule:
8th rule of misogyny: Men are whatever men say they are and women are whatever men say they are.

It's all total bollocks.

Everyone who menstruates is a woman. Some women don't menstruate (I'm one of them).

But no men have ever, in the history of the planet, menstruated.
