Everyone - Go Tell Donald Trump about Your Period!
The human toupee stand known as Donald Trump really stepped in it over the weekend when he said Megyn Kelly was bleeding from her eyes and "wherever" during the August 6th GOP debate. The presidential candidate made the ridiculous remarks in an interview for CNN the day after the debate, where Kelly had asked him and other candidates some reasonably tough questions (you know, since it was a debate and that's kind of her job). Hell hath no fury like a woman who's been insulted for menstruating, and the internet delivered that fury beautifully after Amber Gordon (@missambear) started the Twitter hashtag #periodsarenotaninsult. Women all over America have taken to the social media site to deliver messages to Trump about their cycles. Here are some of our favorites:
\u201c.@realDonaldTrump is a misogynistic asswipe. Will report back when I'm on my period to see if my opinion changes. #periodsarenotaninsult\u201d— it\u2019s frickin bats \ud83e\udd87 (@it\u2019s frickin bats \ud83e\udd87) 1439306609
\u201cI propose that instead of saying that women are "On the rag" when they have their period, we say "on their Trump."\n\n#periodsarenotaninsult\u201d— FGvW (@FGvW) 1439301937
