Radio 4 Today programme - people with periods

[GCmiddle]

Did anyone hear the item just before the 7.00am news this morning? Dr Viki Male from Imperial College, London was speaking about her recently published paper in the BMJ on the need to research possible effects of the Covid vaccination on menstruation and fertility. Even though the interviewer asked her about women, women’s periods, etc, the scientist only talked about ‘people’ with periods, ‘people’ who want to get pregnant. I honestly don’t think that these educated professionals realise how silly they sound. I long for the day when an interviewer (it was Martha Kearny today) picks them up on it and directly asks them "why won’t you say women?"

I switch over to Times Radio when I hear this nonsense.

Me too.
I don't find Martha Kearney a good fit for 'Today' at the best of times. Hardly ever challenges, just sticks to her list of questions when she can get a word in.

Some men might like it. They love drawing attention to their dicks esp women!

Men: Drawing dicks all over the place since forever.

Let's go with prostate owners, people with scrotums.
