PC Tampon Maker Claims Product for "Menstruaters"

 Women of the World Unite! You’re Not Just Menstruaters! 

By James Terminiello 

 

“We’re also wanting a period positive, gender inclusive brand.” 


These are the barely English words of one Nadya Okamoto, 25, CEO of the August brand of feminine hygiene products. Ms. Okamoto hawks tampons, but she carefully avoids the word “woman” so as not to offend those in the trans community. Instead, she falls back on her safe word “menstruater”. (1) Accurate if uncompromisingly cowardly.  


Apparently, we can no longer call a spade a spade and as for women, well, in the woketopic world of Okamoto the same applies.   


As a man and a friend of women (especially since about the age of 12 when things happened) I am here to say that women are far more than menstruaters. Mother, Wife, Chum, Comforter, Tower of Strength, Keeper of Wisdom, Phantom of Dreams, Provocateur, Definer of Beauty. I could go on and on. That I even have to say these things sheds a blinding spotlight on the tragic reality of our shattered times.  


Until such time as science can scoop out the entire life essence of one human of a particular gender and, in effect, pour it 100% into the body of another gender, trans people will always be the products of, essentially, high tech cosmetic surgery. And that is fine. But it does not mean that we must mangle our language and alter our way of thinking. And, more particularly, we must not be so demeaning as to narrow-focus women down to just menstruators. Will males be erectors next? (Why did I even suggest that?)  


Ms. Okamoto, your product is intended for women. Women who menstruate. While it is true that not all women menstruate, all who menstruate ARE women. End of hygiene lesson.  


Were I a woman, I would be deeply offended by this mollycoddling attitude. Hell, I’m not a woman and I AM offended! 


Author James Terminiello, whose latest book “Junkyard” will be published in the Fall, writes from Mount Laurel, New Jersey

The October 7 attack was inevitable

  Why was  October 7 inevitable ?   One word: Extortion By James Terminiello     It’s difficult now but if you run a web search to find images of the Gaza Str i p before the current war , you w ould encounter a  place of wrenching poverty ; decay ; and , until recently , qui e t despair .     As an economic entity Gaza could not and did not operate without funds injected from many sources including the U.S., some Arab nations, and, yes, Israel. Naturally, as with all aid from afar, too much of it finds its way into the wrong pockets most of the time. As a place to live Gaza practically stewed in depression which easily and naturally turns into envy and fury - particularly when you see other nations prospering on your mobile device.     Isr ael’s forlorn hope was that if you lined the pockets of Hamas and other minor semi-political, semi-military, semi-religious organizations with extortion money they would slurp up th...

Why do unqualified Democrats continue to win elections?

Unqualified Republicans Lose, Unqualified Democrats Win   B y J ames Terminiello   In a recent special U.S. House of Representatives election brought about by the disgrace of George Santos, the New York Republican Party fielded a candidate that their internal analytics told them was a sure-fire winner.  Mazi Pilip was:   A) A woman   B) African (in this case Ethiopean)   C) Jewish   D) Military (Served in the Israel Defense Force)    Why any of these points have more than a trivial relationship to her qualifications to be legislator seemed to be of little concern to the Republican wise ones. The electorate , however, disagreed and she was clobbered by a run-of-the-mill Democrat hack.   The Republicans seemed not to have learned from 2022 when they ran the fabulously underqualified Herschel Walker for senate apparently because he was black and a football player.  They also propped up Dr. Mehmet Oz for the senate on the grounds...

Yuletide Don'ts from The Ghost of Christmas Past

  Warnings from the Ghost of Christmas Past     By G. C. Past      I am the Ghost of Christmas Past and I manifest each year at this time to give warning to those who commit unpardonable seasonal transgressions that a more forgiving deity might, and I say might , overlook.      Hear me and reform, lest I haunt you to your air-parched, terminal breath.      Place not on thy innocent lawn those hideous inflatable yuletide decorations. When the blessed sun doth crack the dawn, they deflate and resemble crime scene pools of blood and smashed egg yolks . In short, they infect the eyes! Away with them!     Gift not the decorative wine stopper for it shall be abandoned with lightening haste in early January at your local thrift shop. Many pine away on haunted shelves at this very moment subject to their latest, and not last, re-gifting. Know well that those w ho drink deep of the fermented grape drain each soldier...
