Your threads are getting more interesting, man. xD

Periods are the one reason why I feel so sorry for women. Then again, I'm sure they don't need any sympathy from men. Very few women I've met in my life haven't been able to cope with their periods, and that was because of severe medical problems (one of which ended up involving a hysterectomy). The majority of women I know are able to cope very well with their 'time of the month', and you don't even know they're mensturating sometimes, which is a credit to their willpower and personality. After all, if I was in great pain and bleeding for a week, I'd be extremely cranky and upset.

My Mum copes with her periods very well, although she can be a little ratty and unreasonable at times. However, she always apologises afterwards, thus making me feel guilty for responding to her arguments. On the other hand, my Girlfriend has very bad, erratic periods which turn her into a very different person for 4-5 days per month. However, she copes very well considering the circumstances, and always restrains herself when she knows she's being unreasonable. I still love her and try to help her, of course, but it's very hard to do so when someone is being completely irrational. However, it cannot be helped, so what's the point in getting worried or angry about it?

I think you ladies cope very well with what can be a distressing and uncomfortable time. *applauds*

At this rate, I'll be winning the 'Feminist of the Year' Ciddie - no problem.
