Women tweet updates about their periods to Donald Trump
The Daily Mail ^ | August 12, 2015 | Carly Stern

Women are storming social media to let Donald Trump know that they are still perfectly capable of doing their jobs and living their lives while on their periods, after the presidential candidate made sexist remarks about Fox News host Megyn Kelly.

At last week's GOP debate, Megyn, 44, pressed Donald, 69, about comments he has made about women in the past that many have deemed as sexist. Donald, put off by being asked to explain why he's called women 'fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals', lashed out at Megyn, insinuating that she was only being hard on him because of her hormones.

But his comments have earned the ire of other women, who are now using the hashtag #periodsarenotaninsult on Twitter to tell the GOP candidate all about their time of the month.

'You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever,' Donald said on CNN after the debate,criticizing Megyn and implying not only that she performed poorly as a debate moderator, but that she did so because of menstrual hormones.

Since his remarks have earned backlash, Donald has claimed that by 'wherever' he meant Megyn's ears or nose - but most people aren't buying that explanation.

I’m a woman and I had them for 40 years.

You are *not* “normal” during that time.

You are at the brutal mercy of roller-coaster-ride-from-hell hormones.

It is what it is.

Sorry for not being PC.

“They’ve become more crass and aggressive than any man could hope to be.”

Thomas Jefferson wrote, “Were our State a pure democracy...there would yet be excluded from their deliberations...women, who, to prevent depravation of morals and ambiguity of issue, should not mix promiscuously in the public meetings of men.” (Letter from Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval)

What a surprise that one of the wisest men in history turned out to be right.

Personally, I believe that only property owners should be able to vote. I don’t care if they are male or female.

That was once the law.

Imagine no Section 8 votes.

Whole different country.

Boy am I glad I didn’t work in your organization. Fortunately I had sick leave which I only used for this purpose. Finally I was able to get rid of the problem once I made the nutritional corrections caused by our popular junk food diet. As to the woman being a victim, Trump decided unilaterally to cancel a planned and scheduled lunch break for both sides in the meeting. Since he didn’t let anyone leave for lunch or bathroom, she did the only sensible thing she could. I doubt she sat at the table pumping in front of everybody, she probably went to a corner with her back turned. Anyone know more on that? Of course, if she didn’t seek some degree of privacy then I would consider it somewhat foolish unless she did it in plain sight to thumb her nose at Trump for being an a$$hole. Also I don’t know if SHE cried victim, or if others decided to do it for her which she may or may not have appreciated.

Precisely. What's that quote about people voting themselves largesse from the public treasury? A return to founding principles would do us good.

My wife who has her own business has had periods that were so bad that she had to lay down for about 2-3 days at the start. She would get headaches where she had to go to the emergency room and they would inject the back of her neck so she would get relief..

After this passed during the month she was perfectly functional and effective. But during that time of the month she was completely incapacitated.

Every girlfriend I have had was always really weird during period time. It varied from one to the other but the weirdness was there. Believe me you recognize the signs.

That has always been my experience.

Check out my comment #154. Although it sounds as if you are past this particular problem, you might be able to pass on some help to other young women. The help I found made all the difference.

See my Comment #154. Suffering is unnecessary, and so is most other weirdness at that time.

I would not say I’m “past the problem”.

I’ve just exchanged it for all new problems.
