    • 2002, Annie Potts, “Innerspace”, inThe Science/Fiction of Sex: Feminist Deconstruction and the Vocabulares of Heterosex, Hove, East Sussex; New York, N.Y.:Routledge,→ISBN, part 2 (The Vocabularies of Heterosex),page180:
      [T]he release of semen from the penis predominantly symbolizes a forceful masculine operation, an orgasmic ‘rush’ – ejaculate refers to a sudden happening, an ejection – while the ‘loss’ of blood duringmenstruation is viewed as a more or less passive occurrence. Even the metaphors employed to depict these two aspects of corporeality serve to situate them on differently gendered poles. Man ‘spoofs off’ or ‘shoots his load’, while woman ‘gets her visitor’, ‘has got her monthly’.
  2. Aninstance ofmenstruation, thepart ofeachmonth during which afertilewomanmenstruates.
