It's the double standard I never enjoyed. I assumed it would be a thing of the past, but it still comes up with my girls.
Guys cycle every 15 -20 minutes and also follow daily, seasonal and annual rhythms, but you won't get many to admit it. They're culturally allowed a pass to be "testy" or "just reacting to an external stimulus that is real and worthy of a reaction".
I'm so happy I'm female. I've enjoyed it all my life. I'm incredible even when I was on my period.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. :)

Cube - Life may not be fair but being a woman is better than being a man - even during those 'Hulk' moments!
ReplyDeleteSue Hanes: It's not my sex that bothers me, it's the way my sex is treated in our culture.
ReplyDeleteI have to remind myself, now & then, that we have it better in America than many women throughout the world.
That said, I will continue to grouse against the double standard.
