Goodbye, Reality-Based Community: Episode #256.4: Menstruation

Well it better be, bub.

(Direct link, as I've suddenly wondered whether all the archived links might disappear some day...not that I have any clue how it all works...)

If there were a sound generated every time a hardcore loon beat his or her (y'know, depending on how he or she identifies) head against the wall of reality, this article would sound like a damn Institute for Highway Safety vehicle test.

I object to the author's use of 'menstruation', which assumes it is rooted in biology. Menstruation itself is socially constructed and the use of "people who menstruate" is offensive to those who differently-menstruate and fail to conform to society's current construction of what menstruation is.

I object to the fact that the first three letters of "menstruation" spell "men"! What, now men can't even let women have their periods to themselves?!

Winston,

I'm offended by your micro-aggressions.

Good point. Mynstruation. But then what about people who mynstruate but identify as men. Maybe it's okay if they menstruate instead of mynstruate.
