It's really cute to see a bunch of folks being all "tee hee hee women have periods," but I'm sure that's not what the OP was really going for. (Also no, it's not cute, stop it. Stop it forever, please.)

It's the Internet: here there be 12 year olds!

And?

Some of these replies are making me ashamed that I even posted in this thread.

If this had been about an all male merc company would you have suggested "Gigolo Killers" or "Flaccid Rangers"?

well perhaps if it was specified "all male" as their only descriptive feature... thats why my suggestion was gender neutral...

anyway to potentially be hypocritical, i cant believe nobodies suggested
"the fury that hell hath" or "women scorned" or something.

1) To state the obvious, the anonymity of the Internet lowers inhibitions about saying all kinds of things.

2) The humor found in this thread is no derailment.

Scatological humor is as old as humanity. It is appropriate and pervasive in the cultures, times, places echoed in most FRPGs in general, and most definitely among soldiers and mercenaries in particular. Even if the company in question did not actually call itself any such name, they would virtually be guaranteed to be called by something resembling such by rivals, allies, and employers...and possibly by members themselves. It is also something that would be seen as utterly non-controversial except possibly before someone of much higher rank than yourself.

You don't have to like it, but don't be surprised by it...or that others DO like it.

Actually some 5 years ago I DM'd a campaign with a secret female organization bent on dominating all men. Using the PC's (who were all male) to get it all done without them knowing it.

But I can't remember the name of that organization. I know it had Rose in it (The Shining Rose maybe?...)

Anyway, their leader was a blonde female bard called Merylin Moonrose

No part of that point-missing word salad convinced me that "it's the internet!" is an excuse to make "tee hee girls have periods!" jokes.

1) I wasn't using the internet as an excuse, just stating (the obvious) that it makes this kind of humor more likely to pop up because of it's inherent anonymity. Speaking only for myself, I made no joke in this thread I wouldn't make in front of my friends & family...and wouldn't be surprised if one of my Aunts or my Mom volunteered a couple of their own

2) make your point clearer

3) FWIW, I didn't expect to convince you, hence the coda of my previous post.

In that case I guess we are posting at cross-purposes!

Another element of the Internet: with only words at our disposal- as opposed to non-vebal cues to supply additional context- misunderstanding is so much more common.

Peace.
