Men On Their Periods

Why is it the first thing a man says to a woman when she starts acting crazy is "are you on your period or something"? I would love to take this opportunity to express to the male sector of our species that "you too have your periods"...otherwise known as Assholeitis. My husband is presently on his period and has been for the last several days (i think it may be a week long cycle). The only thing missing is the craving for chocolate.
The symptoms are easy to spot:

picks fights and erupts like a volcano if there is no retaliation

whines like a toddler if asked to do any chore

slips away when one may not notice to hibernate until the day is no more

picks at their food and wonders the next morning why starved

loves to play pissing contests

shifts the blame to where he is indeed the victim

And my all time favorite..

stomps away claiming that everyone is being irrational or unsupportive

At least a woman has hormones to blame..lol.
I was upset when my husband started his cycle two days ago, but now i have to just roll my eyes (after dealing with a toddler's temper tantrums all afternoon, this is a piece of cake). As most of our overworked and underpaid brothers (who are the soul providers of their family), they occationally need a period of time to "act out" and can only be soothed by their mother. It's just like Motrin (or Valium). A wife/ girlfriend's affection is looked upon as being "condescending".
Thankfully Uncle Flo will pack their $hit and head for the hills until next time. Wish me luck.
