I suppose if it makes guys who are remarkably bad at paying attention aware that it's not just "Wow, you're a bitch today, honey", then...
Feh - geek toy.

If I'm bitchy, it's more likely that I'm tired than that my cycle is affecting me.

Then again, this is the same man who developed a palm app so we could figure out when I might be fertile.

Yeah, I understand PMS is a real thing and lots of women have to deal with it. But it's not every woman. Ross and I were in a coffeeshop last week, and some guy was on a cell phone behind us changing plans with a girl.
We both winced when he said "Why are you being such a bitch? You're just completely PMSing right now"
no subject
Ah, a regular ladies man.
I will admit to some hormonal swings around that time of the month, but if any man ever tried to invalidate my emotions like that, I'd probably stab him with a fork. Repeatedly.
Fortunately, Sam is too wise to do that.

But it does make an insanity defense easier, "Your Honor, if I'd intended to hurt him, I would've used the meat tenderizer, but I wasn't thinking clearly so I just grabbed the knife"

However, the attitude behind his just being a jerk was basically the same as that behind this tool... if a woman's "bitchy"*, it's because she's PMSing.
*Apparently too often defined as "not doing what I want her to do in the way I want her to do it"

And trust me, me on PMS does in fact equal raving bitch queen. I spend most of my time wanting the rest of the planet to get the hell out of my way, if I'm not actively planning on helping them.
no subject
The fact that the tool can actually be useful to some men to become more enlightened is not mutually exclusive with the fact that there is a societal assumption "all women become raving bitches once a month and if a woman is a raving bitch, it's because she's PMSing" that I suspect is behind the tool.
no subject
I guess I am enough of a raving bitch even when I'm not PMS-ing that I rarely run into the problem you're describing. And have been known to verbally flay alive anyone who was foolish enough to voice such an opinion out loud.
no subject
I'm generally not ever enough of a raving bitch to be accused of it, so I don't generally get people calling me out on PMSing. However, I've seen it happen and it makes me annoyed.
no subject
Yes it is.

OK, now that that's out of my system...
Carl knows that the first night I toss and turn all night because my lower back is killing me to be prepaired to walk on eggshells around me for a day or two. Oh, and to also get a little bit of chocolate into the house... and as a warning that there will be spinach with dinner the next few nights...
I think he learned this within 2-3 months of us living together? Pure self preservation...
no subject
Is that some sort of weird hormonal craving, or merely a desire to share your suffering with others?
no subject
Just the fact that under normal circumstances I'm borderline anemic... and iron pills make me super nausiated.
Could be worse, I only get the craving for chicken livers once in a blue moon...

Is that a threat? 'Cause it sure sounds like a threat.
