PMS = Our Reason To Act Bitchy
Thursday, November 20, 2008 @ 8:19 PM
Is
PMS* just an
excuse for us to cover up our bitchy behaviour? Lots of people think it is. But seriously... why would we
want to feel down and moody? Do we WANT to have cramps? Nah. Men who say that we play the PMS card too often should be turned into a woman for 2 years to deal with this little "excuse", then give birth to a child, and look after it for some months. They would definitely not complain about us behaving like this every once in a while.
The other reason might be that
we are under way more pressure than men. We must look beautiful, be clever, caring, a good housewife (in the future... but we do have to learn cooking, do the dishes and other housework to "practice" for our future lives...) and be good at work/school, too. Isn't that too much already?
Dear Eve,Personally, we hate you for eating that certain something (which might not be an apple at all) from the tree, back then. Why, oh why couldn't you restrain yourself from doing that? You are the reason for cramps and pain at childbirth.
Screw you.
Hugs,
PMS-ing Girls
And now... some help to fight this evil enemy.- Consume at least 1200 mg Calcium a day. Saves you from cramps. All hail the researches.
- Take Vitamin E and B6. All hail researches again.
- Eat lots of low-fat food, vegetables fruit and cereal.
- The magic word: Magnesium. Reduces breast tenderness and your craving for sugar.

Check out this site, which
tells guys when their wives/sisters/daughters/etc. have PMS. "Simply enter the date of your woman's last cycle and PMSBuddy will send you an e-mail reminding you of your impending doom. You can receive as little or as much notice as you'd like -- anything from one day (if you just want to stay a little late at the office) to five (if you need a little more time to fake your death)...
The site also recommends steps you can take to mitigate the damage (and bolster its corporate partnerships) –- like buying flowers from 1-800-Flowers or chocolate from Godiva. Neither of which will do any good at all, by the way." Hilarious! Too bad it's not a joke. Anyway, have fun!
