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.

ZING!
Lunch discussions with male co-workers generally revolve around sports, hobbies, or funny stories about something your wife and/or kids did.
Linky please? I am a HUGE Pam Geller fan! Ditto Michelle Malkin!! That would be a red line for me, and unlike Obama’s “red lines,” mine mean something.
You’re right, not all women but the crass, aggressive ones are the ones we hear from.
“When Bruce Jenner starts tweeting about his period, will the PC police demand I take that seriously too?”
Some folks would probably volunteer to help him start bleeding every 28 days - from eyes, ears, nose, wherever...
Please put in a qualifier. Without it, you're implying all woman appreciate Megyn's thought process. I would submit that a majority of women are not foul-mouthed femnazis. The panic is because of a very high percentage of real women who support Trump, and this was an attempt to frame Trump as anti-women. It backfired.
JMHO

Do they make tampons for the eyes, too? These tweeting twits bleed heaviest from their hearts.
If Tara Dublin likes to talk about her period this much, all I can say is I’m glad I never heard her radio show!
Hey ladies, the only men who need to know about your periods are your partners and your doctors. To talk/tweet openly about it in front of strangers makes you pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.

The Geller one is recent and shows that Trump does not understand the threat of jihad, the idea that the First Amendment is there to protect unpopular and/or provative speech, and what is going on. The Donald just lost me with that one.
Well done, cripplecreek. You brought facts to the table and changed my mind.
I'm not going to be a Trump basher, but I am also not going to support him anymore.
CRUZ OR LOSE!!!
Might be a portrait of the type that would do that mailing.
Warning adult material that’s kinda of on the bubble but way, way, way less offensive than actions of these wymn.
It is funny.

Bump.
Oooh, Vanity Fair AND Feminazi tweets. You’re on a roll, sista/brotha.
This Walker not polling higher thingy has you going a little stir cray cray.
Ask any man in a relationship when their woman is on her period if things are normal and functioning smoothly. Not!
This is so misreported and they know it.
probably 2 or 3 and the media drive bys are trying to imply a movment.
Polling today shows Trump losing ground. I don’t want to see that happen.
He’s the elephant in the room and he’s a fun elephant. Some of the air will go out of the campaign if he were out.
I’m for Cruz and I do expect Donald to implode eventually but hope not soon.
