Can men get periods - poll on RoF

71 replies

ThisAngelWearsPrada · 23/03/2024 00:06

Roll on Friday is a legal news website. They have a story about the woman being sued for harassment for her GC views.

On said story, they have a poll asking whether men get periods. Until earlier today, the vast majority said no.

This evening, it has jumped up to over 57% saying yes. Clearly the poll has been shared and as it’s easy to do numerous votes, I suspect those on the yes side are trying to manipulate the results as the number of responses is jumping up at quite a pace. So, if anyone has time, please do feel free to respond to the poll.

I can’t see the voting bit?

BCBird · 23/03/2024 12:45

Done. What a crock of shit

Igmum · 23/03/2024 12:57

Up to 73.5/23.5 now (not sure what has happened to the outlying 3%) - starting to look more sane with the Wall of TERFs voting though suspect the real figures are more like 99/1 (TRAs and David Lammy)

the HoC is currently being held hostage by a large daffodil armed with attack kittens

What colour attack kittens?

<prepares to ring Daily Fail with this vital detail>

Purple. With big pointy teeth. And light sabres.

Utterly bonkers. Of course they can't!

It’s all in how you define the terms ‘men’ and ‘period’.

Can a person with a male body shed their uterine lining?

Can a person with a male body who identifies as a woman and takes cross sex hormones attribute some experiences (mood swings and food cravings) to a monthly hormonal cycle?

Can a person with a female body who identifies as a male shed their uterine lining?

Exactly. The question should be ‘can a person born with a penis bleed out of their vagina?’ Then there is no room for ambiguity.

To paraphrase my mum ‘if men had it there’d be a cure for it by now’ (she said that about childbirth pain)

Sendintheultrafrownz · 23/03/2024 14:43

Been voting here, repeatedly.

Emotionalsupportviper · 24/03/2024 21:01

82.6% v 17.4% now on the side of sanity

We seem to have @Sendintheultrafrownz to thank for that.

Cheers Frownz. 👌

Edited because dog jumped on me and I missed a bit of a sentence out.

Sendintheultrafrownz · 24/03/2024 22:47

My pleasure @Emotionalsupportviper

Icanttellyouanything · 25/03/2024 00:09

Now 83% v17%

AutumnCrow · 25/03/2024 00:29

83.1 vs 16.9%

Emotionalsupportviper · 26/03/2024 17:46

84.4% v 15.6%

CaterhamReconstituted · 26/03/2024 17:48

It doesn’t matter what any poll says anyway. They can’t.

Emotionalsupportviper · 26/03/2024 17:50

Indeed - but it's comforting to know that that majority of people aren't totally captured by the idiocy Grin

HermioneWeasley · 26/03/2024 17:50

It doesn’t matter if 100% of respondents say that men can get periods, it won’t make it true

StarlightLime · 26/03/2024 17:51

Surely the correct question is "If you menstruate, can you seriously be considered to be a man?"

Ofcourseshecan · 26/03/2024 19:00

Now 15.5% claim to believe men can have periods. It’s useful to have polls that let these people out themselves so clearly.

100% correct.

I have voted and commented. Where can you see the current split?

Startinganew07 · 26/03/2024 22:43

Found how to see the totals. Now at 86% “no”.

I guess the poll is closed now?

worrying to thing there are people who seem to think/say that men can bleed monthly. They do indeed walk amongst us…

Startinganew07 · 27/03/2024 09:02

The poll is still open. Currently 87% “no” — and still shocking to me that over 12% vote yes…
