"Menstruators" in a Guardian tweet

[ShoesJerry]

Last year, YouGov asked 538 menstruators about their experiences of period pain in the workplace; 57% said it had affected their work

FFS. Cheeringly, there are many horrified comments underneath the tweet.

I liked this song.

What the fuck is this 'its because not all women menstruate' bollocks? Why does that mean you can't refer to 'women' as a collective? They are the only ones who ha e periods so by using 'women' you see covering everyone who has a period.
I don't menstruate at the moment. Am I not a woman? Will I become a woman again if/when I start menstruate? Should I be offended by 'women' being used to describe people who have periods?

Schrodinger's menstruator.

I am currently menstruating.

Next week, I won't be.

Am I a woman now or will I be one again next week?

Or am I just not any more?

In which case, what am I when I am not menstruating?

I'm so confused..!

Most of the people that have an issue with there being some catch all term, seem to all be ejaculators

Love the Vulvamort response and the name too :)

57% said it had affected their work

Positively or negatively, I wonder?

The #guardiansongs are hilarious. Have got a bit of an ear worm from humming along though.

Positively or negatively, I wonder?

Seriously?

They seem to average about zero comments for their other tweets.

Has the Guardian issued any sort of response to this shite?

Some cracking comments there - I think m favourites were calling men 'jar openers' or 'front pole havers'.

Unlikely.

Men - remote control hoggers
