   women-menstruators/   
      
   At only 25, Nadya Okamoto has already been on the Forbes 30 for 30 list   
   and is the CEO of a feminine hygiene company, August.   
      
   I’m truly blown away by the Harvard grad’s drive, follow-through, and   
   passion.   
      
   And I’d like to say, sincerely: You go, menstruator!   
      
   Sound ridiculous and dehumanizing? I’m simply borrowing Okamoto’s own   
   parlance.   
      
   This week, the August CEO appeared on a “CBS Mornings” segment to talk   
   about August — but she excluded and demeaned her lone customer base:   
   women.   
      
   Throughout the interview, Okamoto repeatedly referred to females as   
   “menstruators” — reducing 50% of the world’s population to one, albeit one   
   very important, function of our bodies.   
      
   All the while, host Gayle King gave enthusiastic exclamations of   
   affirmation.   
      
   It seems like a strange marketing tactic — treating your one target demo   
   like the Harry Potter villain Voldemort, who “must not be named.”   
      
   Even August’s website says its products are for “everyone who   
   menstruates.” Everyone? Even apes?   
      
   In one breath Okamoto recognized the beauty of monthly cycles — saying   
   periods “make life possible” — but then fumbled by adding: “And yet   
   history and society has built up this stigma that makes menstruators feel   
   so ashamed.”   
      
   Later in the interview, she revealed why she wasn’t uttering the “w” word:   
   “I think especially in this age of transphobia it really means a lot to us   
   to be a proudly gender-inclusive brand,” Okamoto said.   
      
   Oof. If we were previously in the fourth wave of feminism, then this is   
   the goodbye wave to the entire concept.   
      
   But Okamoto isn’t the lone guilty party here. Places like CNN, NPR, and   
   even the White House have tried to change our language and refer to women   
   as “individuals with a cervix,” “birthing people,” “menstruators” and   
   “uterus owners” — all to make men who would like to buy a vagina feel more   
   comfortable.   
      
   Even the Centers for Disease Control is now giving tips to trans women on   
   how to “chestfeed” babies. No ma’am, we can’t call it breastfeeding   
   anymore.   
      
   If we’re going to reduce women to one basic function, then in the name of   
   equality, we should call men “ejaculators.” It’s only fair.   
      
   Call me old-fashioned, but I grew up in an era where companies advertised   
   their innovation, high-quality materials, craftsmanship, and edge over   
   their competition.   
      
   According to Target, a 16-pack of August tampons is $9.99 while a box of   
   24 Tampax will cost $10.19.   
      
   So why is August worth the extra scratch? Sure, it’s “sustainable,” but   
   Okamoto’s essentially saying it’s because the brand has far-left   
   “inclusive” values.   
      
   Cool. But progressive ideals aren’t going to reliably absorb monthly   
   periods.   
      
   On CBS, Okamoto also bemoaned society’s “stigma” about our monthly cycles   
   and “young menstruators” not knowing enough about their own health.   
      
   ‘It makes us feel like there’s something wrong with our bodies. We’re   
   taught that period blood is this ‘contaminable’ disgusting thing,” she   
   said.   
      
   I don’t remember this being such an issue in the 1980s and ’90s, beyond   
   the initial embarrassment that comes with your first few periods. Girls   
   learn to navigate pool parties and sports with surprise visits from Aunt   
   Flo — all rites of passage on the way to womanhood.   
      
   Perhaps if some schools and radical trans activists didn’t teach our   
   children that they can be any gender they’d like, there would be less   
   confusion when nature starts taking its course.

   As for August and Okamoto, I don’t trust my health to a company that   
   refuses to even acknowledge a simple biological fact: women alone, bleed.   
      
   However, we are not bleeders. This is a massively important distinction.
