Women Live Tweet Their Periods to Donald Trump

The Independent UK reports that women were after the business tycoon and comb-over queen insulted Fox News host Megyan Kelly, telling CNN's Don Lemon, "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever."

Many people read his comments as an attempt to insult Kelly by suggesting she was challenging him because she was on her period. The casino kingpin dug himself even deeper when he attempted to defend his comments, by claiming that anyone who believed he was talking about periods was a "deviant."

"I was going to say, nose, and/or ears. Because that's a very common statement," he said. "Blood flowing out of somebody's nose, and remember she had great anger when she was questioning me."

With Femsplain founder Amber Gordon leading the charge, the deviants came out in full force, tweeting Trump with the full cycle of insult about their time of the month, in an effort to prove that menstruation cannot be used as an insult against women. Period.

Users like Skylar Thomas Tweeted, "I'm getting my period this week. I'll make sure to keep you updated," while Natalie Fawcett wrote, "On my period atm. Was nauseous and in pain all day. Still did a huge swim. Sorry Im threatening."

Others, like Jennifer Welborn, came right to the point: "Just finished menstruating. I still don't like you. Guess it had nothing to do w/ my period." She drove her point home with a follow-up tweet, writing, "Misogynists who reply to my #periodsarenotaninsult tweet with sexist drivel will be blocked. Shut up or I'll bleed on you "out of wherever."

Kudos, ladies. Way to Tweet a twit your twat.
