As a gamer...I get this ALL the time when I'm yelling at people for being stupid "oh you're mad and on your period huh?"
Justinicus
That would be because most online gamers act like complete ass clowns.

This was the most annoying thing ever living with my family, my brother would always tell me get off the rag like it's 31 days in a month

Girls don't get moody when they're on their periods, they just stop tolerating shit that pisses them off.
TheyHidInTheDayAndAteGuavas
But shouting at the fridge, when you home alone?
symbolswriter
Do you have any idea what torture it is for women to tolerate fridges?
Well, I suppose it's stupid of them to be quiet for long periods then suddenly whir then go silent again...
You say that like it's healthy and reasonable.
heterocera
It is healthy are reasonable to tolerate shit that pisses you off?
Usually, yes. It's how we, as a species, survive without murdering the ever loving fuck out of each other. Enjoy it.
Within reason, yes.
Yes, this exactly.

As an Indian guy, it would be nice to meet more Canadindian girls ;)
Hahaha sorry but I am taken <3
lol.. I'm married! to an Austrian! I'd just like to meet more of you for international-cultural-science ;)
Hahaha! I believe you but that ;) at the end makes this all really sarcastic-sounding! :P
nooo.. that was me being friendly yet mildly mischievous at the same time! ;) (you see what I mean?)
Talmorean
Um, every girlfriend I ever had was calm on their Period, and cranky succubi during the PRE part of PMS
Ifrackinggoogledit
PMS stands for Pre Menstrual Syndrom. So you got it right, girls are PMS`ing BEFORE the blood shedding starts. :)
threepwood007
The succubus part sounds okay...
OrionRed
But, but, if it's not PMS, then you're just an asshole.
labrat
Also, PMS is actually a diagnosed condition that affects 10% of women or less, not just emotions related to hormone fluctuations.
ieatmacandcheese
or we're reacting so someone else being an asshole.
Smaashley
Ding ding ding!
Women can get angry/emotional/irrational/be assholes. Blaming it on our biology is like saying we're less than men or somehow not human.
And ignoring the fact that for some women, PMS is a very real issue, is just asinine.
rezpawner
DAMN SON! You pissed off every snatchbleeder in here!
I don't always troll, but when I do....something something something.
julianeverforgets
Or maybe we're just doing our jobs. I had a student bust out the PMS line once for throwing him out while he was cheating on a test.
requiemforatardis
That's classy. /sarcasm
Or maybe you just over-react by the standards of normal people, so it makes no sense unless you have an imbalance of some sort.
Normal people want high schoolers to cheat on tests? Huh.
I see you're confusing "reaction" with "action". How did you behave while taking the steps of removing the student?

Females are not allowed to be mad some times....? Females have bad days just like guys have bad days.

OneSmartChicken
Cute, but no. Because you're taking it out of context. It doesn't mention "taking it out on someone." It's anything, being put down to 1>
right and if you take it out on someone you are a shitty person. Guys have "bad days" and they FUCKING APOLOGIZE OR GET CALLED A DEUCHE
sevenofninetertiaryadjunctofunimatrixzeroone
But this doesn't say "take out your anger on someone" it just says "angry"
then noone fucking cares. Don't try that crap (2)
oh come on now you are just splitting hairs to protect women, we both know if you want to be left alone and don't snap at anyone (1)
More like I'm trying to point out that you're arguing that something was said that wasn't?
BecauseHowHardIsItToPoachAGoddamnEggProperly
Well to lower the tension I always ask my girlfriend if she's having one of those days. Works like a charm.

Rather than accusing/assuming your Wife/GF is angry because she's on her period, just give her a hug.

That's so thoughtful and sweet, you must know this first-hand. So anyway, how's the single life?
You tell me. Happily married, thanks.

Glad I wasn't the only one to read it like that.

anzolr
I like how you're really into arguing against the popular opinion on this one. I understand your position, but it comes off as rude.
So? I'm on my period, so I can't get blamed for it. You're all just being stupid, like your whole family.
GingerTheBeard
you put on your sassy pants today. upvote ma'am
atravenatrix
While I get where you're going and agree, I feel that I need to point out that "infantise" isn't a word.
RageUnicorn
My brain just autocorrected to "infantilize". Man, the things your brain does without you noticing. It's scary sometimes! Not now, though...
Hahahaha, I hear you! p.s. I really enjoy your username :)

Pretend I typed that instead. Or just pretend I had more characters to work with and didn't need to add a bunch of footnotes.
You got your point across even with the made up word. Shakespeare made up words too.

Nature was angry when it made women. We are weaker, age less well, have periods and babies. Disclaimer: Generalization.
scrappylyfe
i thought women generally lived longer than men. now that i am older, i see the physical, mental and emotional strength it takes to have
sowetoninja
I guess fathers are just along for the ride, eh? "women are amazing"...really? Do you have any idea how much effort children are?
huh that is exactly what i meant, and no i have no idea how much work children are because i'm not a human/ conscious member of society.
babies and be a mom. we may have less upper body strength, but us women make up for it so many other ways. women are amazing!
fundipsundrip
the only reason we don't age well is because society labeled younger women hotter. not all cultures are like that.
quello
yes. you get it! <3
bigwhitemint
Younger women are more fertile and that is indicated through cues in appearance. It's not a social construction.
younger men are more fertile as well. yet society isn't obsessed with younger men. i'm sticking with my original statement.
Maternal age is a much better predictor of birth defects than paternal.
amlesko
The perspective shared is a blatent reinforcer of negative social messaging regarding women. We are strong, age beautifully, and empathetic.
I am a feminist! But also a realist (I stand by everything I have said). And a bit of an ageist... But, we are more empathetic.
your 'realism' perpetuates stereotypes of men What you wrote is not true for me or any women I know.
bananapoptard
Except females by definition are the main generator of the offspring. By biological definition, a male is a slight level above parasite....
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/1431489.stm
They may not house the babe for 9 months, but they do provide half the genes. Females can't impregnate themselves.
The bbc article you provided above contradicts your own claim. Am I missing something? Also, many species reproduce normally without males.
It's called parthenogenesis.
No, lol. I was being "funny"... It doesn't come across well in type...
lonelysock
age less well but look better in general
jsktrogdor
Michelangelo thought the male form was aesthetically more pleasing than the female. As a strait, out of shape guy I'd have to agree.
in my professional opinion, nup, guys are gross. (straight girl with a long term bf. he's beautiful, no one else is)
I would imagine Michelangelo liked to sculpt men because our muscle structure is more defined, more complex.
AgamemnonsMemes
Some women also take it as a licence to be total bitches and blame it on this. There are a reason some men assume this.
"Anyone?" That doesn't ring true. Some people just over react, if there isn't some temporary reason, it must be permanent.
pennemin
Amen.
phopenguin
YES. It especially happens in arguments, I find. My boyfriend uses it ("you're making a big deal out of nothing") in order to avoid (1)
having to own up to mistakes. Even worse still is when he starts cooing at me when I'm trying to raise a serious issue with him (2)
("aww look at the little girl being angry, you're so cute"). It just makes me feel like I'm not being taken seriously as a person. (3)
sian327
Just gonna say it... he sounds like a jerk! If he refuses to take you seriously, it's because he only gives credence to his own emotions.
You make a good point and that's a shitty thing for people to do. That said, males get shot down for showing emotion too.
I actually REALLY appreciate it when males show emotion (besides anger). It's not a sign of weakness; it's a sign of strength to me. (1)
and women often pretend we don't have them....like when they act as they please and blame it on their period later without apology....

You realize she was just comparing the situations, right? She wasn't threatening to bury someone.
Yes she was. She absolutely threatened to bury someone.
Alive.
Knowing it would kill them. That is murder.
Nnnooo. She was giving an example of how stupid it is to think period=angry. Sleep=dead. See? Stupid.
Except these tumblr activists have a long-standing history of equating internet textpain with real-life mutilation of men. It's a disgusting
If you're a grown women you should really be over the fact that you get your period and that it's uncomfortable.

Gaslighting makes me seethe, for real.
Like screaming at someone for being stupid, which causes their anger?
YES!!!
1/2 I think it should be clear though. People dont like it when someone gets angry. Getting angry is a bad thing to do most of the time.
2/2 Its just an underhanded way of expressing frustration with a woman whose too angry. When a guy gets too angry we can just hit his face.
Tell that to Chris Brown.
Getting angry is inherently bad but hitting in the face isn't?
Hitting in the face is a part of getting angry. When a guy tries to say a girl is on her period, it's because he's angry. Calm down I say.
I'm with you on the last sentence. The rest of that comment makes so little sense I just...wha?

Such a good point
WhatsThePlanPhil
+1 for sloughing off blood
its the social awkwardness setting in. as a guy who is awkward but grew up with all my friends being girls, its kinda rude lol
Granolaclusters
I'm a woman, and I ask my roommates if they're PMSing if they seem irrational. I'm usually right, and pointing it out to them often helps(1)
them calm down. We can't always change our mood, but at least we can recognize what's happening and not take it out on others.
straightupfiveoutofseven
As a guy, especially if a girl is on her period, be nice. Blood is rocketing out of her genitals. That'd make me upset too.
It doesn't excuse behavior, but it is a variable to consider. I get pissy if I don't have my coffee.
middleearthling
But that doesn't mean that a woman is upset because she's on her period every time she happens to be both upset and on her period.
hailthefish
Apparently only men can be angry for a reason, and women are either psycho bitches, or 'just hormonal' because of their ladyparts. Fuck that
ImmaStealYoReactionPics
As a dude, it's the opposite if anything: domestic abuse, rape, murder. But still, prejudice is just being lazy and ignorant.
This! Also fuck men who resort to 'she's crazy' after breakups, like a girl expressing a differing opinion to their own MUST be irrational.
Theconcept208
Angry for a reason it's fine! I believe this comment will appear if the anger is considered irrational!
Don't know why you were downvoted, but I intend to fix that.
Abso-fuckin-lutely spot on.
This! I mean, I agree.
When a guy can treat a girl badly and pass off any of her responses as 'crazy' - that's when you realise that sexism is still pervasive.

vaginaldischarge2000
I think having your period just amplifies the feelings that you get, your sensitivity, etc. You don't really get mad for nothing.
What about glaring angrily at the fridge because it's making fridge noises

You missed the angst bus! OK before you fuckers downvote me it's a joke.

'hormonal mood swings' mostly refers temporary lethargic or depressed feelings. asshats like to think it means any time you're angry ever.

I don't. I get sad sometimes. But not angry.

Do you think...maybe they're just on their period or something?
I dunno. Methinks they thinks we too clueless to compute. Haha. Oh man this post is whacked.
The problem is that dismissing every display of frustration as a woman being "on her period" is saying that her annoyance is never rational.
The PROBLEM is dismissing genuine questions. Dismissive twats who pull the rag gag at every instance are not worth your time.

"You're being irrational" is far nicer than asking that inherently pissy question.
In my experience, that is immediately taken as a challenge and "are you PMSing?" turns on a lightbulb. Of course, not everyone is the same.

That question is never a win. Either you aren't "PMSing" and it's insulting or you are it's going to piss you off. There is no upside.

Supernatural had been my best friend for a long while during this time q.q
nodoubtzerep
This.
darkndstar
I'm always relieved when I get my period after Fury Week, because then I'm just like "hello crazy hormones. I knew you were behind all this"
youreallinvitedtobiteme
totally have the same problem
morsillom27
That is exactly how mine is. Death Con 10

i feel your pain :(

salriella
About a week before, I just cry at every single episode of Grey's Anatomy. Also that's usually when I want to watch it for some reason.
Yes, a week of PMS`ing and then a week of bloodshed, crying and binging, how I love being female at times.
QueenPutrescine
this is so accurate...it hurts
KellyLooLoo
oh honey i will be right in that corner with you. i'll bring the dark chocolate to mix.
TeamRocketHR
I do the same. The Mad Day and the Sad Day.
enturtle
Mad week is more like it for me....I just get sad after I realize what a bitch I've been
whoaitssara
This is the most accurate description of that time for myself.
llli
Yeah, there have been studies that show that there's no measurable difference in behavior the week of. Any effect happens the week...
...before. I would go find a source, but I'm tired so you'll have to take my word for it or remind me another time.
Well...I do have a change of behavior the week of, as do other females as you can read. We just get depressed, not angry usually xD
Zillathejokekiller
You sound like me. I get unnaturally bitchy and irritated a week before, but during I nest like crazy and eat all the bad foods.
ladypartfart
ME TOO!! The week before, I am a raging. The week during, I am fatigued and so emotional I will cry if I run out of staples at work
copper
Once I got so angry and frustrated that I threw a fork across the kitchen... because I couldn't open a ramen. And then I cried :\
Yeah, I threw a stapler across my office because it kept jamming-bought a new stapler that was "indestructible" after that...it still works
annerbananers
I thought I was alone in that!
CostumeNerd
+1 for I totally know what you mean
littleredcello
The worst I've had is almost passing out in a school hallway from dizziness and then going to the orchestra room and crying for no reason.
nomnompickles
I work with my friend, and we're synced up, we both get hostile and angry the week before. It is pure hell.
Me and my besty who I'm synced with designate our "gym week" during this week xD it works out well! haha
AndThenThereWereSquirrels
as a male, the whole syncing up thing freaks me the fuck out
It really is. Most of the time it happens cause we take the pill at the same time
Darkholme
So glad I'm not the only one. I feel like everyone hates me and cry over everything after I start.
utgort
That is why PMS = Premenstrual syndrome Pre as in before. So technically this girl has it wrong.
Well, I can still agree that it does suck to have serious anger be dismissed as "PMS" for me, if it's PMS, you'll know xDD
Not all guys get this. Some assume angry woman=on her period because they have no idea what PMS stands for. They just know they're connected
catcatcatcatcatcatcat
Same with me, during it I feel like crying at everything, I cry at a sad songs especially! on my bike.. in a lecture...
sch0f13ld
My brain shuts off and I begin devouring everything in the house before the pain hits and the bloodgates open.
GrowliePants
My full on ape shit crazy day is the day before, then I'm a rollercoaster of tears the next 3 days, then I'm nearly human by the 4th day.
bubblefarts
this is ridiculously accurate
Scientifically: a ricochet of hormones. Or: its anger as your body learns you are wasting the egg it put out for you to have fertilized!
But as a reward if you do get pregnant, then you get 7 pound baby trying to exit your vagina
wronggengirl
me too. I'm not moody the week of, but I am in incredible pain & wanting SALT.
Amy3312
I like eating salty things while I do homework. It keeps me on my toes.
Adiktedgottaregisternow
Me too. Replace salty foods with sugar.
AwkwardBiologyIsPORNNOISES
I pretty much hibernate with McDonald's french fries until the storm passes.
For me it's those, and strawberry cream pies ;-;
See, I can't do sugar! I just want to look salt out of a bowl and die.
ImabouttogoTRexonthesenuggets
I always feel the need to clean all the things when I am on mine and eat ice cream of all things.
roomsofthehouse
Ditto. Salt- salt is good.
Do you eat them like a house mouse? Because the image of you nibbling on a salitine held with both hands is adorable.
I do, same with fries x.x I just nibble and sob
CUUUUTEEE.
ourari
Does every single girl on earth have to say this to someone?
ExtremelyRelaventUsername
Does every guy on Earth have to ask girls if they'e on there periods?
Whenever I'm in a bad mood or get angry for an actual reason. Or just don't agree with someone. Or...yeah. All the time.
bleepblopbleep
Yep.
killerofthesky
Pretty much. Especially if we aren't prone to angry outbursts. If someone fucks up and we call them on it, they assume we're hormonal..
right you're not hormonal you just have anger issues...
It's not anger issues to get mad at someone.
ooop you know what apologies here I thought it said ARE prone to angry outbursts
Aha. Okay then. Yeah. I misread it the first time too so I can't fault you for that.
risfutile
actually even more than once based on the numbers ^^
talloakthenativebrowser
Almost all the time.
Cinnamok
Afraid so. It couldnt possibly be that they're an asshole
asIalwayssay
As long as guys continue to ask this, yes.
DanaBana
Does every man or otherwise another human being have to ask if I'm on my period when I'm upset/ bitchy?
tehlivi
Although it's been said, to stress the point.. YES
coalblackcrows
maybe because there are guys out there that ask if a girl is on their period quite often.... your question makes you sound like them
NineByNine
Unfortunately there is a large proportion of my gender (sorry about those twatbadgers) who mean they usually have to :(
cheesemaccer
Hitler was a man, you going to apologize for what he did, too? Hey, can you apologize for Charles Manson?
Only if girls apologize for nicki minaj and rebecca black, mother theresa and one million moms.
once my ex boyfriend left my dog outside for hours and forgot he was there...when I freaked out he goes "are you on your period?"....so yes
kittybuttwiggle
Is your dog allergic to sunlight?
the sunlight at nighttime?
...is it afraid of the dark then? You really aren't very pleasant.
it's because I'm on my period....he's not afraid of the dark but he does appreciate water and not being left in the freezing cold for hours
how am I unpleasant? you're being quite sarcastic and rude. Dogs aren't lawn ornaments. They don't belong outside in the snow for hours
AvalancheCountess
I was in a hurry and some guy tried to hit on me. I smiled politely but said I'm in a hurry. He asked me if I was on the rag. Bastard...
corneliusgansevoort
It's because of comments like that that he's still single.
fun fact: this has happened to me in two different countries in two different languages...apparently this problem is universal!
While I'm arguing that there are times when men ask in genuine simplicity, instances like that are inexcusable.
Until a small but persistent and obnoxious proportion of men stop carrying on about periods every time we annoy them slightly, yes.
can't have it both ways kids, either you are ALWAYS responsible for your actions or I have to ask if you are in the special get of (3)
I never ask if a girl is on her period...but I hold her responsible for her bullshit too. Fun fact I have more women get mad at me (1)
this is undoubtedly annoying and demeaning, but I just want to point out that SOME women do use periods as excuses for erratic behavior.
vanishplusxzone
2)excuse to write off a woman's feelings, and it gives women an excuse to act like a bitch or a pig without real consequences.
1) Actually, that's largely because of the same thing. Everyone's been told to think that periods make women irrational. It gives men an
Yes, and we hate them as much as you do. Except the handful who have PMDD and don't realize it. We feel sorry for them.
because I don't cut them slack for the shitty things they do when hormonal, then I've had girls own up to making a shitty choice. (2)

spirrisilver
What? So sorry that women have uncontrollable hormonal imbalances during a portion of their cycle.
Great sentiment. Extremely sexist execution based on a sweeping generalization of an entire sex.
sweeping generalization in response to a sweeping generalization, she chose the arena I just fought in it
CaptainCanadia
"SMALL but persistent and obnoxious proportion of men"* not exactly a "sweeping generalization" (*emphasis added)
HarleyPoison
At some point, yes.
nosaucesbutapplesauces
At some period*, yes.
NotAPervert
as a guy, if a girl reacts in a way that seems unrational to us, we like to assume it's a temporary ailment rather than just them.
Supernerdtastic
Assume it all you want. Avoid the ballistic response by keeping it to herself.
Solisav
Wouldn't another option be that there's a rationale you haven't considered as to why they are mad?
I'd rather assume temporary irrationality than assume it's inherent to the person.
the period one the first one jumped to only after all rational reasons have been considered and invalidated
Assuming a non-omnipotent person, there could be some rationale she has that you don't know about.
and when she/they are better at communicating such reasons, the period excuse will become true last resort.
kindaloveable
As a gamer...I get this ALL the time when I'm yelling at people for being stupid "oh you're mad and on your period huh?"
Justinicus
That would be because most online gamers act like complete ass clowns.

Girls don't get moody when they're on their periods, they just stop tolerating shit that pisses them off.
TheyHidInTheDayAndAteGuavas
But shouting at the fridge, when you home alone?
symbolswriter
Do you have any idea what torture it is for women to tolerate fridges?
TheyHidInTheDayAndAteGuavas
Well, I suppose it's stupid of them to be quiet for long periods then suddenly whir then go silent again...
Justinicus
You say that like it's healthy and reasonable.
heterocera
It is healthy are reasonable to tolerate shit that pisses you off?
Justinicus
Usually, yes. It's how we, as a species, survive without murdering the ever loving fuck out of each other. Enjoy it.

Um, every girlfriend I ever had was calm on their Period, and cranky succubi during the PRE part of PMS
Ifrackinggoogledit
PMS stands for Pre Menstrual Syndrom. So you got it right, girls are PMS`ing BEFORE the blood shedding starts. :)
threepwood007
The succubus part sounds okay...
OrionRed
But, but, if it's not PMS, then you're just an asshole.
labrat
Also, PMS is actually a diagnosed condition that affects 10% of women or less, not just emotions related to hormone fluctuations.
ieatmacandcheese
or we're reacting so someone else being an asshole.
Smaashley
Ding ding ding!
labrat
Women can get angry/emotional/irrational/be assholes. Blaming it on our biology is like saying we're less than men or somehow not human.
Justinicus
And ignoring the fact that for some women, PMS is a very real issue, is just asinine.
rezpawner
DAMN SON! You pissed off every snatchbleeder in here!
OrionRed
I don't always troll, but when I do....something something something.
julianeverforgets
Or maybe we're just doing our jobs. I had a student bust out the PMS line once for throwing him out while he was cheating on a test.
requiemforatardis
That's classy. /sarcasm
OrionRed
Or maybe you just over-react by the standards of normal people, so it makes no sense unless you have an imbalance of some sort.
julianeverforgets
Normal people want high schoolers to cheat on tests? Huh.
OrionRed
I see you're confusing "reaction" with "action". How did you behave while taking the steps of removing the student?
Theoneyouremember
Females are not allowed to be mad some times....? Females have bad days just like guys have bad days.

Cute, but no. Because you're taking it out of context. It doesn't mention "taking it out on someone." It's anything, being put down to 1>
thewordsoftheprophetsarewrittenonthesubwaywall
right and if you take it out on someone you are a shitty person. Guys have "bad days" and they FUCKING APOLOGIZE OR GET CALLED A DEUCHE
sevenofninetertiaryadjunctofunimatrixzeroone
But this doesn't say "take out your anger on someone" it just says "angry"
thewordsoftheprophetsarewrittenonthesubwaywall
then noone fucking cares. Don't try that crap (2)
thewordsoftheprophetsarewrittenonthesubwaywall
oh come on now you are just splitting hairs to protect women, we both know if you want to be left alone and don't snap at anyone (1)
sevenofninetertiaryadjunctofunimatrixzeroone
More like I'm trying to point out that you're arguing that something was said that wasn't?
BecauseHowHardIsItToPoachAGoddamnEggProperly
Well to lower the tension I always ask my girlfriend if she's having one of those days. Works like a charm.

I wanna marry her. Except I'm a girl, and I don't think she's into that.

Rather than accusing/assuming your Wife/GF is angry because she's on her period, just give her a hug.

I like how you're really into arguing against the popular opinion on this one. I understand your position, but it comes off as rude.
OrionRed
So? I'm on my period, so I can't get blamed for it. You're all just being stupid, like your whole family.
GingerTheBeard
you put on your sassy pants today. upvote ma'am
atravenatrix
While I get where you're going and agree, I feel that I need to point out that "infantise" isn't a word.

My brain just autocorrected to "infantilize". Man, the things your brain does without you noticing. It's scary sometimes! Not now, though...

You got your point across even with the made up word. Shakespeare made up words too.

Nature was angry when it made women. We are weaker, age less well, have periods and babies. Disclaimer: Generalization.
scrappylyfe
i thought women generally lived longer than men. now that i am older, i see the physical, mental and emotional strength it takes to have
sowetoninja
I guess fathers are just along for the ride, eh? "women are amazing"...really? Do you have any idea how much effort children are?
scrappylyfe
huh that is exactly what i meant, and no i have no idea how much work children are because i'm not a human/ conscious member of society.
scrappylyfe
babies and be a mom. we may have less upper body strength, but us women make up for it so many other ways. women are amazing!
fundipsundrip
the only reason we don't age well is because society labeled younger women hotter. not all cultures are like that.
quello
yes. you get it! <3
bigwhitemint
Younger women are more fertile and that is indicated through cues in appearance. It's not a social construction.
fundipsundrip
younger men are more fertile as well. yet society isn't obsessed with younger men. i'm sticking with my original statement.
bigwhitemint
Maternal age is a much better predictor of birth defects than paternal.
amlesko
The perspective shared is a blatent reinforcer of negative social messaging regarding women. We are strong, age beautifully, and empathetic.
aplomb
I am a feminist! But also a realist (I stand by everything I have said). And a bit of an ageist... But, we are more empathetic.
amlesko
your 'realism' perpetuates stereotypes of men What you wrote is not true for me or any women I know.

They may not house the babe for 9 months, but they do provide half the genes. Females can't impregnate themselves.

The bbc article you provided above contradicts your own claim. Am I missing something? Also, many species reproduce normally without males.

It's called parthenogenesis.

lonelysock

jsktrogdor
Michelangelo thought the male form was aesthetically more pleasing than the female. As a strait, out of shape guy I'd have to agree.
lonelysock
in my professional opinion, nup, guys are gross. (straight girl with a long term bf. he's beautiful, no one else is)
jsktrogdor
I would imagine Michelangelo liked to sculpt men because our muscle structure is more defined, more complex.
AgamemnonsMemes
Some women also take it as a licence to be total bitches and blame it on this. There are a reason some men assume this.
OrionRed
"Anyone?" That doesn't ring true. Some people just over react, if there isn't some temporary reason, it must be permanent.
pennemin
Amen.
phopenguin
YES. It especially happens in arguments, I find. My boyfriend uses it ("you're making a big deal out of nothing") in order to avoid (1)
phopenguin
having to own up to mistakes. Even worse still is when he starts cooing at me when I'm trying to raise a serious issue with him (2)
phopenguin
("aww look at the little girl being angry, you're so cute"). It just makes me feel like I'm not being taken seriously as a person. (3)
sian327
Just gonna say it... he sounds like a jerk! If he refuses to take you seriously, it's because he only gives credence to his own emotions.
JPBStory
You make a good point and that's a shitty thing for people to do. That said, males get shot down for showing emotion too.
phopenguin
I actually REALLY appreciate it when males show emotion (besides anger). It's not a sign of weakness; it's a sign of strength to me. (1)
thewordsoftheprophetsarewrittenonthesubwaywall
and women often pretend we don't have them....like when they act as they please and blame it on their period later without apology....

If you're a grown women you should really be over the fact that you get your period and that it's uncomfortable.

Try having endometriosis and then come back and say that. This statement is beyond ignorant. It makes me feel sorry for you.
sowetoninja

scrappylyfe

jsktrogdor
1/2 I think it should be clear though. People dont like it when someone gets angry. Getting angry is a bad thing to do most of the time.
jsktrogdor
2/2 Its just an underhanded way of expressing frustration with a woman whose too angry. When a guy gets too angry we can just hit his face.
makescreamogreatagain
Tell that to Chris Brown.
JPBStory
Getting angry is inherently bad but hitting in the face isn't?
jsktrogdor
Hitting in the face is a part of getting angry. When a guy tries to say a girl is on her period, it's because he's angry. Calm down I say.

Granolaclusters

straightupfiveoutofseven
As a guy, especially if a girl is on her period, be nice. Blood is rocketing out of her genitals. That'd make me upset too.
straightupfiveoutofseven
It doesn't excuse behavior, but it is a variable to consider. I get pissy if I don't have my coffee.
middleearthling
But that doesn't mean that a woman is upset because she's on her period every time she happens to be both upset and on her period.
hailthefish
Apparently only men can be angry for a reason, and women are either psycho bitches, or 'just hormonal' because of their ladyparts. Fuck that

As a dude, it's the opposite if anything: domestic abuse, rape, murder. But still, prejudice is just being lazy and ignorant.
sian327
This! Also fuck men who resort to 'she's crazy' after breakups, like a girl expressing a differing opinion to their own MUST be irrational.

When a guy can treat a girl badly and pass off any of her responses as 'crazy' - that's when you realise that sexism is still pervasive.

Am I the only girl who doesn't get really angry at their time of the month? ... am I broken?

Severe back aches and sudden gluttony for me. Mood swings are optional. So my boyfriend only has to dole out massages to keep me happy.

happens and I just am having a rough day so I don't feel up to just ignoring it so I get mad and then people are all "are you pmsing?" 4>
gjb2107
Yeah my girlfriend doesn't either, which is great
awesomesause
i need chocolate on my period or else it's doomsday for everyone...
Endofspace
You're not broken. I get irritable which either leads to me spending a week alone in my room crying or cursing humanity.
hawbzandKalvin
marry me?
bittenkitten813
No darling, I just get a bit weepy (but less so that I'm not anemic anymore). Best time of the month to watch Disney movies.
GingerTheBeard
nah, it might just be your awesome. every girl i know is like that, but that could just be me being basically a girl lol

My tolerance for BS gets lower. I feel like I have a knife in my gut and I'm exhausted for a week, though, so I think I'm mildly justified.

I get super suicidal!
felifelerson
No, you aren't. I don't get angry either. I get more emotional. I get warm fuzzies to the point of tearing up very easily.

Nah, I don't either...I just crave more chocolate than usual ;-)
scrappylyfe
no, you are just damn lucky. if your skin doesn't break out either... what the hell.
peoniesinkittylitter
I don't get hostile either. I only get angry if someone picks on me or is rude but otherwise I'm mostly stuffing my face with chocolate.
vaginaldischarge2000
I think having your period just amplifies the feelings that you get, your sensitivity, etc. You don't really get mad for nothing.
TheyHidInTheDayAndAteGuavas
What about glaring angrily at the fridge because it's making fridge noises
LonLonRanchDressing
this is exactly how I explain it to people who blame whatever emotion on pms. Would've already happened, just a little less extreme
noeashly
I disagree :P I know I've gotten mad over nothing, then realize what I've done... then burst into tears... then laugh at my ridiculousness
TheyHidInTheDayAndAteGuavas
I dunno, things which are marginally annoying which I usually ignore easily become a problem e.g. wind blowing in my face
shelecky11
nope, I get snippy too, never actually angry.. I do also get weepy though and then I eat salt from the container and then i'm better. :)
Thuperduper
Me neither. I'm just in extreme pain so I'm not the happiest either. But my boyfriend said he'd rather me be bitchy than be in pain

That's really sweet.

I'm jealous!

Nope, I don't either. I'm angry all the time.

PossiblyNotAGoblin
It might change too. I didnt get the monthly rage until I was 23, but at the same time I dont get the bad cramping pain anymore.
GredAndForge
I don't get angry, I get really sad about EVERYTHING. But it only happens the two days before I get my period.

You missed the angst bus! OK before you fuckers downvote me it's a joke.

underyourbreath
'hormonal mood swings' mostly refers temporary lethargic or depressed feelings. asshats like to think it means any time you're angry ever.
greencuttlefish
I don't. I get sad sometimes. But not angry.
peoniesinkittylitter
Same. I get sad, hence the stuffing of the face with chocolate.
ampelamati
Some periods I'm perfectly fine an happy, others I get really mood-swingy. Our bodies are weird .___.

Yeah usually they're fine, actually, but sometimes it's, ah, too dry or I'm just stupiding and insert it wrong or such.

Sometimes it's not just the hormones, or not related to them at all--sometimes it's just that I'm bleeding profusely from my vagina and 1>
peoniesinkittylitter
Ouch the tampon thing sounds painful! Try incontinence pads. That's what I used when I have a really heavy flow. They are more absorbent.
OneSmartChicken
That's actually exactly what I do. But I'm totally paranoid when I go out and wear a tampon and then sometimes things just go horribly wrong
missedthebus
Both is always best.

too and I had to wash me sheets again this morning so I'm short-tempered and stuff that normally pisses me off but I just ignore it 3>

Do you think...maybe they're just on their period or something?
Glenfiddich12YO
I dunno. Methinks they thinks we too clueless to compute. Haha. Oh man this post is whacked.
middleearthling
The problem is that dismissing every display of frustration as a woman being "on her period" is saying that her annoyance is never rational.
Glenfiddich12YO
The PROBLEM is dismissing genuine questions. Dismissive twats who pull the rag gag at every instance are not worth your time.

That's actually a nice way of letting you know you're being irrational.
TheChinamanIsNotTheIssue
"You're being irrational" is far nicer than asking that inherently pissy question.
helloyesthisis
In my experience, that is immediately taken as a challenge and "are you PMSing?" turns on a lightbulb. Of course, not everyone is the same.
AttilaTheChris
That question is never a win. Either you aren't "PMSing" and it's insulting or you are it's going to piss you off. There is no upside.

About a week before, I just cry at every single episode of Grey's Anatomy. Also that's usually when I want to watch it for some reason.

Yes, a week of PMS`ing and then a week of bloodshed, crying and binging, how I love being female at times.

This is the most accurate description of that time for myself.
llli
Yeah, there have been studies that show that there's no measurable difference in behavior the week of. Any effect happens the week...
llli
...before. I would go find a source, but I'm tired so you'll have to take my word for it or remind me another time.
TyrionLambister
Well...I do have a change of behavior the week of, as do other females as you can read. We just get depressed, not angry usually xD
Zillathejokekiller
You sound like me. I get unnaturally bitchy and irritated a week before, but during I nest like crazy and eat all the bad foods.
ladypartfart
ME TOO!! The week before, I am a raging. The week during, I am fatigued and so emotional I will cry if I run out of staples at work

Once I got so angry and frustrated that I threw a fork across the kitchen... because I couldn't open a ramen. And then I cried :\

as a male, the whole syncing up thing freaks me the fuck out

Darkholme
So glad I'm not the only one. I feel like everyone hates me and cry over everything after I start.
utgort
That is why PMS = Premenstrual syndrome Pre as in before. So technically this girl has it wrong.
TyrionLambister
Well, I can still agree that it does suck to have serious anger be dismissed as "PMS" for me, if it's PMS, you'll know xDD

Not all guys get this. Some assume angry woman=on her period because they have no idea what PMS stands for. They just know they're connected

Pretty much. Especially if we aren't prone to angry outbursts. If someone fucks up and we call them on it, they assume we're hormonal..

It's not anger issues to get mad at someone.

While I'm arguing that there are times when men ask in genuine simplicity, instances like that are inexcusable.

Until a small but persistent and obnoxious proportion of men stop carrying on about periods every time we annoy them slightly, yes.

NotAPervert
as a guy, if a girl reacts in a way that seems unrational to us, we like to assume it's a temporary ailment rather than just them.
Supernerdtastic
Assume it all you want. Avoid the ballistic response by keeping it to herself.
Solisav
Wouldn't another option be that there's a rationale you haven't considered as to why they are mad?
NotAPervert
I'd rather assume temporary irrationality than assume it's inherent to the person.
NotAPervert
the period one the first one jumped to only after all rational reasons have been considered and invalidated
Solisav
Assuming a non-omnipotent person, there could be some rationale she has that you don't know about.
NotAPervert
and when she/they are better at communicating such reasons, the period excuse will become true last resort.
