Feminists have taken to Twitter to mock men using the hashtag #IfMenHadPeriods. Some examples…
#IfMenHadPeriods They’d stop asking if women were PMSing.

#IfMenHadPeriods they would find a way for women to still bear the children

…silly, right?
Although not everyone is very happy with it, because, apparently, men do have periods and the hashtag #IfMenHadPeriods has been declared transphobic:
@DrJenGunter #IfMenHadPeriods HT good ex of transphobic assumptions that I caution OB/GYNs against when I do provider competency trainings

Yay, I love transphobia. Always heartwarming and not at all awful. #IfMenHadPeriods

#IfMenHadPeriods: many of them do, but you refuse to listen to their experiences, so what's the point of this hashtag?
