'Marty Sheargold said that my disease was made up. I have five words for him.'

If Marty Sheargold's comments about the Matildas weren't enough to send him packing from Triple M, his rant about women's health a day later sealed his fate.

It started with the 53-year-old complaining about his sore back, before accusing women of "carrying on" about their periods.

"I've done me back. It's no secret over the last couple of days. I can't hide it anymore," Sheargold told his radio co-hosts, before thanking executive producer Whitney Plowman for lending him her period heat pack.

A remark that should have either ended there or on the cutting room floor, but he went on.

"Because, God, don't ladies carry on," said Sheargold, referring to period pain. "Jesus Christ, there is no end of it. Honestly, endometriosis, and this is controversial…"

While his co-host jumped in to issue a warning, don't do it, Sheargold persisted.

"No, I'm going to say it. It's controversial. (Endometriosis) it's made up."

Endometriosis, which affects nearly one million Australian women, occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus. It can cause pain, heavy periods, fatigue, infertility, and more.

Sheargold might have got away with the gross remarks, had his comments about the Matildas not sprung him into the spotlight.

Unfortunately for him, endometriosis sufferers quickly sprung into action; collecting footage from their hospital visits, images of their lifelong scars, and their stories of infertility. Soon, five words took over social media.

"Just another woman carrying on," women with endometriosis wrote, along with physical evidence of the damage the disease has inflicted on their bodies.

Australian actress Harriet Dyer was one of them, sharing screenshots of her endometriosis scars on Instagram.

She addressed Sheargold's comments directly, writing: "Cool bro. Tell that to the multiple stage 3 adhesions in my tum tum you absolute turd."

Along with a photo of her post-surgery stomach, the Colin From Accounts star added: "Pardon the endo that *was* in my tum tum. I was lucky enough to get surgery. But apparently it doesn't exist. F—k that guy."

Dyer is not alone in sharing her experience.

Chloe Jackson, a South Australia-based influencer, posted a medical document outlining her infertility due to endometriosis, along with clips of the tears she shed through her attempts to fall pregnant.

"Just a lady carrying on from a made-up disease that 'pretend' makes you infertile and causes 'fake' debilitating pain," Jackson wrote. "Nothing like yet another middle-aged man to tell women how to feel, Marty Sheargold you have really dug yourself a hole with this one."

Soon, the five words "Just another woman carrying on" sparked a movement.

Social media user Bekky Maguire shared clips of her hospital visits and scars from endometriosis surgery, writing: "Sorry for carrying on."

A woman named Stevie posted footage of herself after her second endometriosis surgery, removing her bandages to reveal her fresh wounds.

"Marty it's made up," she wrote sarcastically. "Luckily, I carry my 'period heat pack' around with me for whenever you need."

Along with a photo in a hospital gown, a woman named Helena wrote: "Me 'carrying on' after surgery to separate my uterus from my bowel and remove a cyst the size of a tennis ball."

Jess Frost, a BookToker with endo, shared her scars as well, writing: "We do carry on. We carry on going to work, we carry on maintaining relationships, we carry on being hopeful despite years of pain and infertility."

While the five words took over TikTok, former Triple J host Bridget Hustwaite — who is an advocate for endometriosis and was diagnosed herself in 2018 — addressed Sheargold's comments head on, telling PerthNow that the comedian dismissed the "very real pain" of women with endo.

"Not to mention those who are still seeking a diagnosis, which on average takes 6.5 years," she said. "Imagine how those people feel hearing this? He claims to be a comedian, but let me tell you, there is nothing funny about a disease that causes organs to stick together or about being told you may never have children."

Southern Cross Austereo confirmed on Wednesday night that Triple M had parted ways with Sheargold; a small victory for the women affected by his comments, and not one that has gone unnoticed.

"If there's one positive takeaway from yesterday, it's how effective collective action is," wrote podcast host Hannah Ferguson. "Social media spread Sheargold's quote like wildfire.

"Thousands of complaints were lodged and public pressure forced his removal. Yes, the decision was probably more a commercial than a human one — but it is accountability nonetheless. We can celebrate that.

"A large cohort of women said: that isn't going to happen in Australia in 2025. We didn't let it slide. As we stare down an election and watch what is happening in the United States, it is a hopeful reminder of why it's important to give a sh-t. Your contribution matters."
