Althouse: "The women 'live-tweeting' their periods to campaign against Trump."

August 12, 2015

"The women 'live-tweeting' their periods to campaign against Trump."

BBC reports.

The hashtag: #periodsarenotaninsult

I'm seeing the new slang term: Donald. As in: I have my Donald.

YoungHegelian said...: Thanks, ladies! Thanks for proving to the Trumpster & his minions that, yes, a large chunk of his opponents are bat-shit insane, and that Trump is just speaking truth to institutional insanity.; 8/12/15, 1:13 PM

Mick said...: More on the "war on women" BS. He didn't say "vagina", he said "wherever". Amazing how the far left can organize and make any lie a "movement".; 8/12/15, 1:15 PM
Real American said...: Trump not only resides rent free in their heads, he takes a monthly vacation in their wherevers.; 8/12/15, 1:19 PM
dreams said...: When you think about it shouldn't the war on women really be called the war on men or as it used to be called the battle of the sexes.; 8/12/15, 1:20 PM

Bay Area Guy said...: This isn't really a "War on Women," but a political war cry by crazy, left-wing women to seize and enhance power.

Memo to Young Men: Stay away from young, crazy, left-wing women -- even if they are attractive! Resist. You will avoid endless headaches and misery.; 8/12/15, 1:26 PM
Carol said...: it used to be called the battle of the sexes.

That's *all* it's been for 40 years now. When the first Friedan book came out, it was basically a movement to get women's heads out of their asses, quit waiting around for Prince Charming and do something with their lives. IOW take responsibility for their own destiny.

Now it's all BS.; 8/12/15, 1:32 PM
Peter said...: WoW. Just WoW.

I haven't seen sex/ethnicity/race breakdowns of the Republican candidate's support, yet somehow I'd not be surprised if Trump has less support among Republican women than among Republican men.; 8/12/15, 1:37 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Donald counters with i have my trophy... not as in Cecil the lion, but as in... wife bonus?

Vagina monologues...

I'am paying for this microphone!

I was a huge fan of Ronald Reagan.

He couldn't make it to my wedding; 8/12/15, 1:37 PM
William said...: Women of the world make an exclamation mark of your period and throw your used tampons at Trump. Bonus points if you muss his hair. This should do for Trump what The Black Lives Matter campaign has done for Bernie........My guess is that a lot of people are booking Trump accommodations to make a political statement. I'm sure there are people who would refuse accommodations in a Trump palace, but they were probably not in the market anyway. Trump might be a net winner from all this bad publicity. If I were Trump, I would bring out a line of luxury sanitary napkins, really top drawer stuff that a status conscious woman would be proud to buy.; 8/12/15, 1:40 PM

Menstrual Blood used to be the most Sacred substance on Earth, and now science is discovering its incredible healing powers…

Tell me that doesn't rock!; 8/12/15, 2:28 PM
Wince said...: It's like Edith Bunker explained: Donald (Trump) is both a blessing and a curse.

Edith: Gloria, maybe your father would rather hear, "It's Mother Nature come to call".

Archie: All right, if you got to talk about it, that would be a little nicer, more ladylike, yeah.

Gloria: Well, why do I have to be ladylike? I mean, what's there to be ashamed of? Would you believe there's a girl who works with me who says, "I just got a visit from my friend"?

Archie: All right, that's kind of nice too.

Edith: Oh, remember Mrs. Carmody, the one who had 11 children? She used to call it "the blessing".

Archie: Now, that is enough of this! I don't wanna hear nothing more about women's problems. You don't hear men complaining about their problems, do you? That's because men don't have any problems compared to women. And that's God's will, so forget it.

Gloria: You mean God's mistake.

Archie: Hey, hey. Hey, God don't make no mistakes. That's how he got to be God. Don't be blaming nothing on God that youse women brung on yourselves. What? Yes, that's right! You don't believe me, read your Bible. Read your story of Adam and Eve there. I mean, Adam and Eve, they had it pretty soft out in paradise. They had no problems. They didn't even know they was naked. But Eve, she wasn't satisfied with that, see? And then one day, against direct orders, she made poor Adam eat that apple. God got sore. He told them, "Get your clothes on and get the hell out of here. " That's why that Eve was cursed, and that's why they call it what do you call it? "The curse".

Michael: Well, there you have it, Gloria, direct from the Reverend Archie Bunker: The true story of menstruation.; 8/12/15, 2:32 PM
damikesc said...: Yes, truly serious women these chicks are.

Why do so many women think their periods are so interesting to others?

God knows. Few topics are of less interest.; 8/12/15, 2:38 PM
Known Unknown said...: AitF was the best. Couldn't put it on TV today. It's too bold and honest.; 8/12/15, 2:41 PM
dreams said...: "Why do so many women think their periods are so interesting to others?"

Because many women tend to be self-centered?; 8/12/15, 2:46 PM

Him worth billions and still he lives in their heads rent free.; 8/12/15, 2:50 PM
John henry said...: Peter said:

WoW. Just WoW

I once knew a man who had an M on each but cheek. When he bent over it reminded us of his MoM.

When he lay on his back and pulled his legs up, it said WoW.

John henry said...: Actually, periods may technically be insults.

In the diaper industry the urine or crap that a diaper collects is called the "insult".

I don't know if the blood collected by a pad or tampon is called an "insult" but I would not be surprised.

Maybe we need a hashtag for periodsAREinsults

If it is not, I would be very surprised if there was not some industry technical term for the blood absorbed.

If they want to make a statement, the bar has been raised by that "free bleeding" runner.
Top that! (at a distance, please); 8/12/15, 2:56 PM

Ha!; 8/12/15, 3:08 PM
Bay Area Guy said...: Make sure y'all differentiate between the minority of crazy-left wing women who live tweet about their monthly "blessings" (hah!) to spite The Donald and the vast majority of millions of other stable, secure, classy, attractive, feminine women who raise kids, take care of husbands, work and make the world a better place!; 8/12/15, 3:23 PM
SGT Ted said...: Women need to acknowledge that very real negative mood changes during their periods and quit making men pretend there aren't any.; 8/12/15, 3:27 PM
dreams said...: "Actually, periods may technically be insults."

So technically these women are actually doubling down on their insult of Trump.; 8/12/15, 3:30 PM
Ron Winkleheimer said...: The thing is, turns out Archie was right. Mike was a bum. According to a short lived spin-off Gloria ended up in California with Joey, divorced from Mike, working as a veterinarian assistant. So it appears the Meathead left Gloria after sponging off of her and her family why getting his doctorate.

Guess she didn't fit in with the scholarly crowd that Mike wanted to join.

Anonymous said...: From now on, when I think a woman is talking crazy from being on her period, I'm just going to say, "Wherever." as dismissively as I can.

I'm sure they'll get it.; 8/12/15, 3:56 PM
Ron Winkleheimer said...: I especially like how Mike whines about getting up at 6:00 in the morning to "go to work" to support his wife and kid. For God's sake Meathead, you're a professor, not a coal miner.

It makes me very happy to see both Trump and Carson on top. I like Ben Carson a lot and anytime Jeb Bush sinks down in the polls, it makes me happy.; 8/12/15, 5:14 PM

A to the C said...: Ah yes, the tried and true "menstruation as a transgressive political act / artistic statement." By that rationale, every time Hillary Clinton mentions something waronwomenesque, radical masculinists should live tweet her graphic descriptions of themselves taking a shit.; 8/12/15, 7:57 PM

AlanKH said...: What kind of psycho hears the phrase "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever" and automatically assumes that "wherever" refers to genitalia? There is no precedent in American slang for that. People might make cracks about PMS (which is something distinct from bleeding), but they don't say something like "she's got blood shooting out of her [colorful invective for female nether regions]."; 8/13/15, 12:26 AM

Ah, but that would be an insult, no? Making the original hashtag wrong.; 8/13/15, 1:31 AM
