- In this ever so Pollyanna Climate in which we live it has become unthinkable
- to state certain things just because they are not the way we would like
- things to be, never mind that they happen to be facts. (Save the reality
- is all a matter of perception arguments. According to Dwayne the crackhead,
- I may very well have wings, but my "flight" off the roof will still be over
- in 4.5 seconds)
-
- One example is to say that a woman is behaving erratically because of her
- period. The overwhelming majority of women that I have known have, at most,
- become irritable, and understandably from what I hear. A small minority,
- whether it be due to poor diet, heredity, or whatever, become irrational.
- Some women that I've known have gone back on every thing that they had said,
- done, or worked for in the preceding 27 days. I regret that this happens.
- It is unfortunate that many men will use this as a default excuse to blame
- women regardless of the circumstances. Nevertheless, it still happens.
-
- As stated above, the male stereotype is loud, aggressive, and a hounding
- plague to most women. Well, face facts, testosterone, the hormone that
- causes most masculine traits is toxic. It destroys nerve cells. Aside
- from this, male hormone levels fluctuate also, and when the testosterone
- gauge pegs out at saturated, the so-called rational sex is about as capable
- of objective thought, and as well behaved, as a rabid dog.

- Grudging !peeve: The recent release _Of_Mice_and_Men_, left me feeling as if
- I'd been hit in the stomach.
