I was watching television, channel surfing for something to watch. I flipped the screen and there were the Fab Five. I stopped because I wanted to see who they were making over next. I actually enjoy watching their show. I haven’t been tuning in as often as I used to so I decided to watch.
They were making over a family of three men. One of them said that the reason why he doesn’t have a girlfriend or wife right now is because he couldn’t deal with the emotions and attitude of women. In short, they weren’t very nice. Why? His reasoning was: “The week before their period they would be crabby and biting his head off, the week after it would be the same thing. When can they (women) be nice? Why can’t a woman be as nice as his mom? If a woman gave unconditional love like a mother then there would be no divorces.”
Are you kidding me? As a woman hearing that from him, made me wonder if we, women, are as bad as all that? OK, so we have our moments when we do go into our moods. Do you (men) really blame us for that? It’s not our fault that our bodies have to prepare itself this way once a month. I guess he forgets that a woman’s body is preparing itself for childbirth and so goes through this process and it’s totally normal!
I bet you if a man had to go through what we did, they would be whimpering and crying like babies! How would he like to be walking around for two weeks before his body goes through its monthly cycle, feeling cramps, pain of unmentionable proportion, (some women have it real bad) and feeling like his body is ready to explode.
His stomach swollen and look like he’s pregnant. Imagine walking or doing normal activity when he’s suddenly gasping for breath from the cramp that suddenly sidelines him and he begins to limp.
Imagine having weird cravings, like being pregnant. Imagine if he had to deal with the flow that comes at him and having to take a bath 3-5 times per day and changing underwear constantly. Imagine dealing with all this and hoping that his flow won’t be heavy or too crampy or that he’ll have to actually curtail his activities for a couple of days. And with all that comes headache and heaven knows what else because some women do experience more and because no two women have the same experience!
As women we have to deal with all this and still walk around and try to be normal and still be a wife, mother, friend, employee or employer and everything that we as women handle in our daily lives.
So if we do get a little bitchy and we do get a little attitude once a month, allow us to be that way. Just stay the frig out of your woman’s way if you can’t deal with it! Or you can be a wonderful guy and bring her lots of chocolate and rub her back, tummy or feet and let her be.
Is that too much to ask?
