Men PMS too!!
Fear of reality, lightning fast irritability, an unwillingness to solve problems, inconsiderate, argumentative, inwardness…these are the symptoms of a man period! Laughable, is it not? Perhaps. But perhaps even more tickling, is the fact that time and money have been spent to explore the causes and implications of this err…monthly phenomenon. Irritable male syndrome (IMS) it is aptly called. Imagine that, men are slaves to these pesky hormones too.
PMS (premenstrual syndrome) is the aftermath of a woman not getting pregnant. See, when she doesn’t-get pregnant, her body flushes out the un-used tissue-you know, the tissue that missed the bus, a process spearheaded by these hormones women speak of, resulting in actions that prompt that age old question men knowingly (read stupidly) ask; is it that time of the month? A question that usually leads to crashing at your four-legged best buds.
Now, I mistrust hormones…they reek of deception-they are the shrewd messenger that is stripped naked, flayed, humiliated and killed. All they seemingly do is innocently deliver the message, but the recipients whore them around…they are the red-no pun intended, herring upon which crankiness, anger, crying, moodiness, body issues…and an out of place hankering for chocolate are blamed-like anyone needs an excuse to molest a bar of chocolate, the travesty! There might be no love lost between hormones and I, but I shed a tear at their plight, I sympathize, if only from afar.
I think they are the unknowing scapegoat for the enactment of decrees reached upon at a conference by women of yore…let these men folk suffer once a month for all the crap they give us; may they hear of cramps and back pains, may they suffer the discomfort of tears and the floodgates of unrelenting, magnificently pure woman anger, may they go deaf listening to the woes of a body we all of a sudden loathe, may they cower and cringe at the menacing sight of a ladle in our hand…let is be so.
So, many a Samson lose their strength at least once every month, the victims of a decree they neither know of, nor understand…doomed to a fate they must bear, a tempest they must weather until ‘mother nature’ feels they have been tested enough, and are worthy of at least another month.
The modern dictionary defines a man pms as; a period when a guy is being a total bitch and being overly sensitive…and as we all know, men only succumb this indulgence once a month-sic!…but, they have no elaborate explanations, no proverbial red-herring, none of that beautifully crafted convolutedness informs their actions…they are just, BROKE.
