I’m thinking about PMS today (or PMT – premenstrual tension, as they call it here). Not only because I have a bad case of it today, but also just in general. Other than being completely annoying that once a month I have to put my boyfriend and myself through incredibly painstaking bouts of bad moods…I’m wondering if there is any sort of use for it. Like, is there a practical reason that once a month I go into fits of extreme negative thinking, aggressiveness and anger?

I know that it happens to most women, but why? We all know it happens, we all know we must deal with it, but is there a biological and possibly positive reasoning for it?

The fact that our minds get fed up with everything around us wanting us to strangle anyone who comes close to our personal space – does this somehow allow us to see the positivity in other days? Was there a extremely primeval aspect to this Pre-Menstrual psychosis? Did it help us when we were cave women sitting around by the fires to somehow get things moving?

I guess my question is – what is the fucking point??

Because there must be a point to it all, right? Our bodies are temples, blah blah blah, and sensitive and complex. Apparently God must have had some kind of plan when he decided to give us this nasty monthly syndrome. He couldn’t have just wanted to mess with us, could he have?

I’m sure I could do more research, or, any research at all, on this topic, but I’d rather sit on my bed, sulk and eat chocolate…

I really would like the answer though. I feel it might help me to understand this pointless misanthropic stupidity, or this pain in my sass, or even this probing maniacal sorcerer.

What you got?
