I don’t agree with Whack a Mole.
But in the Do women wear pads and tampons all the time, or only during menstruation, or what? thread, gendered language is used freely.
Nobody challenges the use of “women” to describe “people who menstruate”. There isn’t long arguments about teaching your “son” how to use a tampon.
It’s just an informative thread for those of us who don’t know the finer points of menstruation and hygiene products that we didn’t learn in junior high sex class.
So without agreeing with Whack a Mole. I think there should be a simple non qualified word for Homo Sapians who bear children that doesn’t discriminate against Homo Sapians that don’t bear children but acknowledges the difference when it comes to medical or biological discussions.
