Permanent Menstrual Tension

Women are engulfed for about 90 minutes every day by irrational thoughts, uncontrollable rage and an almost irresistible desire for inflicting emotional, verbal or physical abuse upon their partners and their children.

Is this true? Well, it's just as true as the often-quoted declaration that men think about sex every 15 seconds.

While this is often said in jest, there is a much more sinister motivation behind those who like to promote this ubiquitous piece of misandric propaganda which has now been circulating for years via the mainstream media.

The idea that men think about sex every 15 seconds is a feminist-inspired statistic designed mostly to perpetuate the idea that men are pretty much pre-occupied with sex for every minute that they are awake. It is a way of demeaning men and suggesting that they are constantly being aroused by their own salacious thoughts or by the presence of a sexual object.

This ridiculous notion is not as innocuous as it might seem to some, because it validates false accusations from a variety of sources.

He abused me in the shed. He sexually harassed me at the office. He raped me in the woods.

All these become very believable if the public is indoctrinated with the view that men are so totally immersed in sexual fantasies and desires that they are highly likely to act upon them impulsively, with or without the consent of the 'victim'.

To propagate the myth that men think about sex every 15 seconds is an excellent way of ensuring that women are more credible when they make accusations, and they increase the probability of successfully prosecuting men for some kind of sexual assault.

The truth of the matter is that some piece of 'research' has simply discovered that men, on average, think about - or engage in - sex for about an hour a day - which is hardly a surprising discovery, and nothing to shout about. 

Since this one hour represents about one-fifteenth of a man's waking hours, then the feminist-inspired spin simply recalibrates this to one second out of every 15 seconds. By doing this, men can be reduced to thoughtless, spontaneously reactive zombies who are triggered into thinking about sex every 15 seconds.

Well, since the average woman spends at least some three days in every month struggling heavily with the negative emotions caused by pre-menstrual tension, this suggests that about one-tenth of her waking life is spent thinking and behaving in an irrational and provocative manner.

And this boils down to about 90 minutes a day.

Or, if you prefer, women have vengeful, malicious and irrational thoughts every 10 seconds while they are awake.

And, by putting it in this way, the average woman is clearly portrayed as experiencing Permanent Menstrual Tension!

...

Which reminds me.

Did you know that some 3 million women in the UK and some 15 million women in the USA have serious emotional problems every month as a result of PMS?

Yep. Every month!

Not just the usual problems with PMS - serious problems. For example, ...

A Raging Monster For two weeks every month Sue Scarlett used to become what she calls a "raging monster".

Up to 95% of women having periods have PMS symptoms, and the NAPS estimates the condition severely affects the daily lives of around a third of them.

Nick Panay, consultant gynaecologist at Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea and Westminster Hospitals, London, and NAPS chairman, said it is important women get themselves diagnosed.

He said symptoms could vary dramatically from mild irritation to literally murderous rages.

And these menstrual 'derangements' - for want of a better word - account for a good deal - if not for most - of the many thousands of false and/or exaggerated accusations concerning some kind of 'abuse' that are made to the police by women against men every year.

We are talking about millions of women here. And, collectively, they cause a huge mountain-load of aggravation to millions of men, and, hence, to society as a whole.
