I'm a woman. I get my period every month like clockwork. I'm the lucky sort, though. It only lasts three days, and I rarely have cramps, body aches, or bad moods, but when I do, it's PMS.
I have a friend or two who have symptoms so severe, they can't live their lives while it's happening. They hurt; they bleed like crazy; sometimes they lash out and have behavioral things happen.
Doesn't it make even a little sense to you, dust bunny, that 1. there would be different terminology for that, 2. taking advantage of diagnosis and available prescriptions, 3. these hormonal symptoms would have a hand in putting anyone, male or female, feminist or not, in a really bad effing mood??
I really don't understand your point here.
Also, what's with the paranoia that Staff would want to do anything to censor you?? I was on Staff for a long time, and there are some controversial members who ruffle feathers, but not only was censorship the last thing on our minds, you are far from controversial enough for Staff to even look at you as a blip, let alone someone to take action against.
