I have never understood why men (and some women) so often use 'you must be having your period' as an insult or attempt to undermine a woman's argument / opinion / gripe / bitch / whinge.
Thing is I'm JUST as capable of being angry, irrational and argumentative when I'm not on my period as when I am. :biggrin: Why can't people recognise that?
It doesn't annoy me anymore (it did til I was about 25 or 26) but I'm still curious about it.
Men - do you do this? Do you say it when you don't mean it or only when you actually believe it? Is it to piss the woman off?
Women - do you ever say this? Do you say it to piss the other woman off?
(Note: This was said to me in a blog comment yesterday and I just thought it was the weakest argument I've even seen here - I was going to post it in Women's Issues but then figured it isn't actually a women's issue it is more a men's issue, IME, or an interpersonal conflict thing - hence Relationships...)
