Can't do a link, but it's a cup company called ultucup. It's quite hilarious- women have been responding to their tweet about menstruators, and whoever is in charge of the company twitter account keeps laughing at them, posting gifs of Taylor Swift 'Haters gonna hate" lol laughing smiley. It's quite enjoyable to watch.

So let me get this straight....they're taking the piss out of their only target market?

Outanabout · 19/06/2019 18:18

well they've made a few women who seem to find the word women triggering happy. Hmm

SylvanianFrenemies · 19/06/2019 18:22

What is the make equivalent of "menstruators"? Ejaculators?

Outanabout · 19/06/2019 18:22

Women don't matter unless they identify as male

spunkers?

youkiddingme · 19/06/2019 18:34

They couldn't even just say 'people who menstruate' - which factually is whom their product is for. It had to be 'menstruators' - which aside from having insulting connotations makes it sound like a full-time job.

youkiddingme · 19/06/2019 18:35

Tossers.

ZuttZeVootEeeVro · 19/06/2019 18:35

Who, whatever their gender identity wants to be referred to as a menstruators?

I don't think this was decided by anyone who had ever menstruated.

Oh and the link for anyone who wants to look twitter.com/UltuCup/status/1139637336155840512

Menstruators gonna menstruate.

Just not into one of their products.

Helmetbymidnight · 19/06/2019 18:39

spunky mc spunk faces?

juneybean · 19/06/2019 18:45

I must admit I got very confused and was wondering how a trans woman would use such a product 😂

Someone should share Julie Covington Singing Only Women Bleed!

Outanabout · 19/06/2019 19:05

I thought I'd fallen for a prank when someone asked if it was a spoof site, that seemed more likely than the reality, which is that it's a company so woke they can feel superior to their mundane customers. No interest in muggles, they only want the cool kids 🤣

I prefer the term "little bleeder" myself (preferably shouted in the context of bloke in cloth cap who's just had his cold frame smashed by some kids' football -" I'll fucking murder you when I get my hands on you, you little bleeders")

Do you think someone should tell her about Gerald Ratner?

The thing is, if we do what they seem to want, relabel every product, rewrite every for "people who menstruate/ have a uterus/ can get pregnant", that STILL excludes TW just more obviously! They can twist the word woman to believe it somehow applies to them if they squint hard enough, but this bonkers "menstrautor" stuff is a) insulting b) dehumanising c) actually reduces us to our biology, and d) reunite us with TM whilst 100% excluding TW and reminding them that they don't have female biology. It is literally reminding them they are excluded from the group they want to be in because of our biology. Madness!

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 19/06/2019 21:39

It's a peculiar sales tactic, that's for sure!

Take entire market and decimate it to cater for the minuscule segment that care about this bullshit and focus your entire strategy on them, whilst actively, deliberately alienating the biggest, likely wealthiest, highly influential segment.

Hmmm...

MenstruatorExtraordinaire · 19/06/2019 23:54

Somebody mentioned menstruators? Actually somebody pointed out to them that if they're aiming for transmen, once they start T they will soon have to have a hysterectomy and won't even need menstrual products.

Datun · 20/06/2019 01:49

Give them what they want - only those who identify as menstruators buy their product.

Idiots.

And I sincerely hope everyone starts using ejaculators too. Especially when talking about sex based rights.

JessicaWakefieldSV · 20/06/2019 07:38

Menstrual cup company owned by a man in Canada. Sounds about right.

LimeKiwi · 20/06/2019 18:38

"Because not all those who menstruate identify as women."
So that means they're being inclusive for trans men then who don't identify as female.
They'll still menstruate too but identify as male at the same time.
Isn't that a good thing that they're accepting of them too?
