Saw this study reported in many reputable papers too, before anyone tries to dismiss it because of the link.

Had the same thought myself-they can't get away with blaming it for doing a poor job, demanding time off, being rude or impatient, and so on. And yet, they do...

I used to have a female friend who took time off work EVERY month because of this. She regularly bitched her boss was 'sexist', even though she never could explain why, and even though he granted her the time off.

She was always frustrated that she couldn't get a job anywhere else, despite her invaluable experience as an office worker(!).

Would it surprise anyone to know she always went on and on about how great feminism was, and clogged up my Facebook feed with posts on the wage gap, accused rapists etc?

She's not a friend now. I caught a break.

I almost died laughing at the last paragraph.

I always just figured they were being a bitch because having to deal with massive cramping/constant pain puts me in a bad mood. Fuck the last 5 days I've had a pinch in my back and I'm a fucking asshole right now. I need a beer and it's 6:58am....

Sometimes the explanation is simple, don't look at the fucking chemicals, pain effects people's mood. Also leaking out dried out brown blood in my pants would gross me the fuck out and would also make me pissed.

Thank God I'm a dude, all I gotta deal with like that is Gas pain from eating awesome food, then shitting out said awesome food when my gut hurts.
