24. who is calling it sexist. if used in a sexist manner from uneducated that assume it is a female
Edited on Thu Jul-21-11 09:14 AM by seabeyond
illness. along with vapors ect...

if we are talking merely about migraine and the effects, that is one thing. both genders get migraine. tend more to women, but is not gender specific.

if we talk about it as a woman being weak as in the past history has done, then it is sexist. kinda like the australian dude used periods for the reason a woman is paid less.

i have not seen people yell sexist, but then i have not been participating much in the threads.
