If men could have periods, what would it be like?

Just curious.

He's been on the rag since puberty...

:evilgrin:

:shrug:

But I can guess what it would be like for men's restrooms.

Now I'm off to eat breakfast...

...menstruation would be about the most awesome event on the planet. And it would be all about tampon sizes. Only real men would use super size Tampax.

Pads, tampons, midol, and birth control pills would be fully covered by health insurance and employees would get 5 paid "personal days" each month.

look at our underwear NOW... On second thought... don't. I don't think any of us men would wear a pad, but you can bet you ass there'd be a lot more guys wearing red jeans to work everyday.

EOM

sick days, demands for breakfast in bed, laying on the couch for days, gnashing of teeth, woe is me, don't you feel sorry for me, I need comfort..more comfort...no more comfort.

Then when it's over total denial of being a demanding crybaby! :bounce:

.

If men had periods, maybe a woman could finally be president. Let's just hope it's a liberal woman, not some Thatcher.

Then you'd hear grown men complaining and crying about their "monthly friend".

Not to mention afterward.

I like what Robin Williams said about if a woman was Pres.

Every 28 days, very INTENSE negotiations.

He also said the President of France would be calling, saying "Why are you bombing us?" and the American Pres would be "Oh, YOU KNOW WHY!"

I have heard arguements, even recently, that women are less able to do things physically and mentally because they go through a weakening hormonal transformation every month. If men went through this, it would be seen as a sign that men were strong. They would brag about it as proof that they could handle pain and endure bleeding and handle PMS. That is how it would be if they didn't take the alternative philisophy and have sick days off every month.

I notice I'm a lot more productive - almost to the point of overworking myself - during that time of the month because hard work helps create the endorphins that ease the pain and make the "period" go by quicker.

But I guess since I also work in a man's field, working harder than everyone else around me is considered normal.

Weakening? heh. I'm hell on wheels then. Maybe just a touch more emotional - in all ways, not just weepy and bitchy, but more sensual, more compassionate.

If not for the bloating and that painful "crampy-scratchy-burning-pressing against the kidneys" feeling I get between doses of vitamin C and Cranberry Juice, I wouldn't mind having a longer period. I'd get more done.

and buy more shoes?

:hi:

:P

:hi:

My fav that had me spitting my coffee was:

i don't know what it would be like for men

But I can guess what it would be like for men's restrooms

Just be grateful you won't find out.

*mutters under ger breath* lucky bastards... :evilgrin:

lol I am just playing around on most things in life girls have it tougher than guys but we have to register for the draft (challenging so yeah) lol I cant be drafted with my heart condition though.

n/t

who has the worst cramps - bloodiest tampons - biggest clots...:evilgrin:

Imagine the products - Guydol, manpons, manipads, manipads with wings!!

manipads of the Luftwaffa... Absorb more today with the ME-109 shaped Manipad, having a really heavy day? Try the Stuka! As seen on Discovery Wings. Save your box tops to collect authentic scale models of WW2 German aircraft.

wicked funny, BigMcLargehuge!!

Of course we want to be careful with the Fokkers.....:evilgrin:

no more men on the planet. They'd all whine themselves to death in the first 38 days.

washes my underwear. :evilgrin:

heh

by law.

And would have 2x the absorbancy w/out TSS.

because what's good for the goose...women would be going bald, and looking like Sigorney Weaver in Alien3, Sinead O'Connor, and Uncle Fester.:evilgrin:

At least a period goes away!

longest, lightest, most pain, etc. These would be a WEEKLY FEATURE ON ESPN.

The theory would be that PERIODS GIVE YOU SUPERIOR BRAIN POWER AND REASONING ABILITIES.

lots of em

we'd have figured out a "cure" by now.

The "Hygiene" aisle would have a lot less pastel colors and more navy blue and burgandy colored packages.

Instead of Regular and Super and Super Plus absorbancies the tampons would be marketed as how many CC's they hold. Men would sit around in garages and say stuff like, "So how mancy CC's you run thru that thing, Harry?" "Well, Joe, I'm running a 44cc right now but..."

And I HATE to think about what the applicators would look like. I'm thinking Chrome and Leather... :) There'd be a whole new market to mechanize the whole thing. (Remember--men invented the Epilady, and any mind that would invent a machine to rip out body hair is gonna do some strange stuff when it comes to hygiene products.)

because...

We're MEN!

Oh' well too bad. Oh; so solly! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

...on pads and tampons. Some states charge tax because it's not a necessity. Um, yeah, whatever...

malcontent? The exact same obnoxious behavior they accuse us of having during PMS?

the second they figured out how to make ICBM's.

You can read it in "Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions," a compilation of her essays and articles. Yes, the Playboy bunny gig is in there, as is the article on Marilyn Monroe. There's even an attempt to interview Pat Nixon!

"you know they'd never have protection with them, never. 'Got any tampaxes in your truck, man?' They'd be using dirty gym socks."

Right now, most of the men I know act like they have PMS three hundred and sixty-five goddam days of the year, anyway.

that's for sure!

HEY - WAS THAT A PUN ?????

please i don't want to be near of one!
If we ladys are such a bitches on that time, imagine a man in that time!!! if they are already with that temper i don't want to be near of one!
