Just because I have a strong opinionated reaction to something doesn't mean I am menstruating or pregnant. Female emotional response is not dependent on hormonal imbalances. So closely associated with all that is exclusively feminine, any emotional display or signs of irritability in men, has been credited as "man-periods." Have we forgotten that emotions are part of the healthy human experience? So ashamed of this truth men aren't allowed to acknowledge their presence and the only platform in which women can express them are in times of hormonal imbalances. Huh?
Crediting all female emotional behavior as results of hormonal changes is like crediting all forms of violence as the result of testosterone. Pure ridiculousness. Emotions are not sex specific. That is, all emotions are experienced by both females and males. The difference however, the realms in which women and men are allowed to express them. (let's avoid complete post drift and save that discussion for another entry).

P.S. I'm thinking of incorporating a little more poetry/prose into this blog. Rad idea? Let me know what you all think.
P.P.S. This is the coolest picture on the internet. My blog has been struggling to breathe without it, thus I am going to help it out and end it's misery.
