PMS Thread: Enter at your own risk

[Spicy Jack]

In college I decided to take Women's Studies for an easy elective. How hard could that one be right?! … I had NO idea how kooky and off the rocker these feminist Nazis could be, come-to-find-out. To a degree, I went along with her ideas and concepts - if you don't want to call them boobs because it is degrading, whatever. But, one day, she told us "PMS does not exist and it is just a way for man to keep us down by labeling us hysterical."

Um, okay.

At that point in my life I hadn't really started to feel the effects of my menstrual cycle - since all of you wanted to know so bad: rollseyes:. I didn't see a change from one week to the next so I thought, "hey lady, you are a nut job, but whatever."

I am the most rational, levelheaded person I know. I am unemotional and only 3 things in my life can upset me enough to cry.....90% of the time. The other 10% is PMS. I clearly know my mind that my reactions to things are unreasonable, yet I find myself being a nut job BECAUSE OF PMS!

Examples:

1. Watching commercials for insurance and seeing how happy the kid looks with his dad and crying for God knows what reason.

2. Trying to hang a frame only to realize I don't have a hammer and feeling helpless and crying, when I know I can just go buy one, but I'd rather cry about it and feel sorry for myself. OVER A ****ING HAMMER.

3. Having a craving for food I would NEVER eat on a regular basis. Like chocolate. I hate chocolate.

What do you do that is 100% clearly PMS related, or is a way the “man is keeping us down?”
