Fox: "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., was roundly mocked on Twitter for using the term 'menstruating person' instead of women in a recent interview."

There is a reason peni-liners exist.

Mrs. George is not a "menstruating person." For that matter neither is D2.

What does that make them?

Just as an aside...AOC made the statement while also talking about the Texas governor and how he knew nothing about women's bodies.

Gee, is his wife going to be surprised...

I'd say happy, but this being a predominantly menz forum I don't want to give anybody the heebie-jeebies.

Shouldn't it be womenstruating?

[Axtremus]

Good to say “menstruating person” rather than “women” when you really want to only refer to one who menstruates. Not all women menstruate (e.g., the post menopausal, the ones who have lost certain reproductive organs due to illnesses or physical trauma, etc.).
