So, what men have been saying for years is true? That women are ruled by their emotions and we (men) cannot expect them to be reasonable?

I agree that insanity happen in both sexes. But, don't all women have PMS to some extent? Not all men are insane. But the women here seem to be saying that all women are insane for at least a few days a month.

If all women are ruled by their emotions then all men are ruled by their D****...

see how silly that sounds birthday boy

I am in the dark. I do not think it's unreasonable to expect an adult to be rational. But, if women need special treatment I can understand that. But, there are a lot of things that the women's movement of been fighting for that may not be in the best interest of us all.

I can't believe you went there. Thats just wrong....

Being ruled by our penises didn't stop us from building nations. In fact, it's likely the reason we did it.

It is not true.

Women experience discomfort and irritability for the most part for up to 14 days. Some women may have a lower tolerance for the discomfort but it by no means means insanity of any kind.

The very extreme cases have to have constant medication and monitering because it is just like a mental illness.

So in the extreme cases it can be used in court just like a mental illness can but the courts will not buy it if it is not documented that it has been extreme for this woman.

Emotionality is individual for both men and women, no two are alike.

Actually the only time they can build anything is when the dick is not involved.

Being overly emotional does not have to mean being unreasonable....
I had days years ago when I would just bust out in tears, yell at my kids for not putting their shoes in the right place...it's not an excuse to be a b1tch.. keep in mind here TS, there is something going on with hormones. Hormones within the body and mind. There is also physical pain...
We don't, or I anyway..don't intentionally act like a b1tch to hurt those I love...
My boys have a very clear understanding of what happens..they will be great husbands to the women they love because they understand it.
Do some research..don't be in the dark..gain some knowledge about it. It can only make you a better man than you already are.

I can't believe you can't believe I went there Jeff...

All I can say is at least ours only last a few days where a man thinks with the wrong head 85% of the time.

Hummmmmmmmmmmmm so which is better a woman that will come back to her senses within a few days or a man that is totally lost to reality 1/3 of the month?

I was born late in life and remember my Mom getting crazy. I believe it is called paramenopausal. I also saw my ex go through this and she went insane. I know this is a serious subject I will stop joking around.....

Being overly emotional IS being unreasonable. Reason is the opposite of emotion. You cannot be overly emotional and reasonable at the same time.

If your hormones are out of your control then a woman cannot be expected to be reasonable during that time. She is being ruled by her hormones (emotions). You can't have it both ways.

If a woman treats me poorly, I leave. I go away. Usually to do something I enjoy.

And arguing that men are not better is wide of the point. This thread is about women and their emotional issues. If anyone wants to discuss men's issues, start another thread about it.

Being a little cranky or emotional is understandable.

Being a raving lunatic once a month and saying it's just hormones means it's time to see a good doctor.

I brought Mrs. Emotional some flowers home one day. She took them to the bathroom, dropped them in the toilet and took a crap on them. Then she told me what a waste of money that flowers are, all they do is die like our relationship. 3 days later I came home to a home cooked meal and a back rub becuase she was sorry about what she did. During all of this kaos, I did not say one word. I left the house and stayed with a friend until she called apologizing.

We are now divorced and I well tell you all, when PMS time comes, I have my guard up. Yes men too can be a-holes, but they are predictable ones for the most part.

Considering that mental health issues are not gender specific and extreme PMS is a mental illness, afraid you can't take men out of the equation.

Now if one wants to say that they are concerned about mentally ill people male and female and how reasonable they can be then we can go there.

Women can have PMS and be reasonable and logical.

Men have emotional surges and illogical responses also.

There is a name for it when it happens to a woman but men don't have a name of their own for theirs yet.

Right

Well when it comes down to reality this issue is not only based on women only. Actually in reality Men as well suffer from PMS like symptoms.

PMS does not effect all women the same I'm not one that can say how extreme it may effect one for I myself have not had that problem.

But as far as insane I would have to dispute that for it does at times make them emotional and on edge for a few days but it passes for most women then you do have those that have sever cases of it.

Through the years most women learn to deal with it each month. It affects each woman different so one can not base on what happen to one to the other million out there that it does not effect within the same way..........

If she is sick and uncomfortable why do you feel she is treating your poorly..why does it have to be about you at all?
And yes..it does involve men because "we" go together.
If you choose to go away, then keep going away...one day you will date older women, unless you get that million in the bank and you'll have to deal with it or keep walking away...
Your sounding very selfish...and I know your not!!!
Besides..men are such big babies when they get sick, c'mon now lets get real!

Ditto, agree very much with this............there are times when one just can't deal with it on their own and needs to find out what is really wrong and get some help.

Good luck finding a good doctor for this. Trust me I know.....
