| 1 | Women are live-tweeting their periods to Donald Trump to prove a point: Periods are not an insult. |
| 2 | After the Republican presidential hopeful implied - perhaps inadvertently - that Fox News Host Megyn Kelly was hard on him during Thursday's debate because she was menstruating, women took to Twitter to protest the comments. |
| 3 | With the hashtag #periodsarenotaninsult, activists began chronicling their periods and mentioning Trump. |
| 4 | The fury against Trump started after he slammed Kelly a day after the debate. |
| 5 | The candidate claimed that she asked him tougher questions while other politicians got off with softballs. |
| 6 | "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever," Trump said on CNN Friday night. |
| 7 | Hey @realDonaldTrump, I'm getting my period soon. |
| 8 | But many people believed the candidate was implying that Kelly was on her period. |
| 9 | That's when the tweets started pouring in. |
| 10 | "Hey @realDonaldTrump, I just finished my period, can I ask you a few questions?" |
| 11 | Twitter user Tara Dublin asked. |
| 12 | @realDonaldTrump I've been bleeding for two days and my brain is STILL working better than yours. |
| 13 | "@realDonaldTrump - on the third day of my period AND still a functioning member of society! Who knew?!" |
| 14 | Kat Victorious wrote. |
| 15 | "@realDonaldTrump Just finished menstruating. I still don't like you. Guess it had nothing to do w/ my period," Jennifer Welborn added. |
| 16 | @realDonaldTrump On my period atm. |
| 17 | Was nauseous and in pain all day. |
| 18 | Still did a huge swim. |
| 19 | "@realDonaldTrump I'm getting my period this week. I'll make sure to keep you updated," Skylar Thomas wrote, adding red-colored emojis. |
| 20 | While Trump defended his remarks against Kelly, he has not specifically commented on the #periodsarenotaninsult campaign. |
| 21 | "I will apologize if I'm wrong about something. But I don't like apologizing when I'm not wrong. You know, an apology, to me, is a big deal," Trump said on NBC's "Meet the Press." |
| 22 | The bombastic billionaire also claimed he "will be phenomenal to the women" during a segment on CBS Sunday and added that he "had great relationship with women" during an interview on NBC. |
