there are WAY more women (and girls) who don't mensturate than these TIFs and you never see them crying when "women" is used. So narcissistic.

Yup. Also, women who live full lifespans - which in the USA today is 81+ - will be capable of ovulating and menstruating at most for only half their lives. (Given that 11 is the average age of menarche, and 51 is the average age of menopause.)

Add in all the women who use cycle-diminishing or -stopping forms of BC, have lots of pregnancies, breastfeed, get surgeries that involve removal of their uterus and/or their ovaries, or have health conditions that cause menstruation to stop, and you'll find that a whole lot of women actually will spend many more years of their lives not menstruating than doing so.

But as you point out, none of us women who don't menstruate for all these various reasons have ever complained once throughout the course of history that it hurts our feelings to say that ovulation and menstruation are things girls and women customarily do - and which only females can do. Can you imagine if we did? It would be hilariously absurd.
