alexlakeman Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I was at work today, and it was kind of slow and some girls that were working all started talking about each and every detail of their periods. I really don't understand that, why would you talk consistently about some cruel joke that nature played on you? And what's even more curious, is, if we men bled from our di.cks periodically, would we talk about it? "Hey, Joe, how's the flow been lately?":laugh:
Star Gazer Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I'm curious what "details" you think they're sharing?
SilentVoice Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 If you bled from your dick for seven days every month . You would talk about it to.lol
Gattica Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Well, get back to me when you do start bleeding from your penis once a month for years upon years...
Feelin Frisky Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I'd post more right now but I'm "spotting".
redmelon Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 did you know in office environments it's common for women's cycles to eventually sync up and overlap? I just think you should turn a deaf ear to things you can't possibly understand and be grateful of that fact...

"Hey, Joe, how's the flow been lately?":laugh: What really pisses me off is when men start talking about periods in this women-as-natural-mother-earth-beauty kind of crap. This actor here once went out in a national newspaper talking in very flowery terms about how he adored women's periods as a natural manifestations of mother earth beauty. Well honey, you try having a couple of liters of blood spill out of your crutch every month and we'll see how exotically romantic you find it in the long run. I have the same reaction as the OP when a group of women start talking about the details of child birth. In my last place of work this often happened over lunch and it killed my appetite.
Stung Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I have cramps right now, would anybody like to hear about it in excruciating detail?
Jambalaya Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Men don't have breasts but spend an inordinate amount of time, looking, talking about and thinking about them. Cruel joke? It just happens, women deal with it. Men just need to accept it to.
harmfulsweetz Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I have cramps right now, would anybody like to hear about it in excruciating detail? Yes, please! :laugh: Men discuss sex, we discuss periods. Is the way it is. It's a perfectly natural thing, but heck, I'd rather wish it was the men who got to deal with it, so we can just spend our time discussing sex. Maybe that is what is wrong with the world-men haven't bled from their dicks yet, we need some equality here!
Disillusioned Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Men don't have breasts but spend an inordinate amount of time, looking, talking about and thinking about them. Cruel joke? It just happens, women deal with it. Men just need to accept it to. FYI the less intelligent a man is, the more likely he'll be turned on by female breasts (especially disgustingly huge ones). This is why they're called "boobs", just in case the ne'er-do-well kid in your grade school never taught you.
Mutant Debutante Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I have cramps right now, would anybody like to hear about it in excruciating detail? Hahahahaha, YES, tell me everything. Alex, all girls have periods and all girls know how much it sucks. It's a big pain in the a** physically and mentally and sometimes it even ruins your sheets. If chicks are talking about it, they're bonding, sharing war stories. Just put on your earphones and count yourself lucky that you don't get the cramps.
2sure Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 In general, I find discussion of bodily functions in poor taste when in a professional atmosphere. I really do. Women will talk about their periods and men about bowel movements. I dont like any of it. As far as people I work with know, I have no bodily functions at all!
redmelon Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 In my work environment, the women definitely talk about bowel movements, especially at lunch. I find it cozy.
tincanman99 Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 Get over it and grow up. The women are comfortable enough to talk about it in front of you is a not a bad thing. Just be supportive, thats all you have to do and they will love you for it.
2sure Posted October 7, 2010 Posted October 7, 2010 I'm thinking that if the women in your office are so comfortable with you that they feel free to talk about their menstrual cycles...they see you as one of the gals. Create some distance.
Disillusioned Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 OTOH I've learned most people generally don't appreciate discussions in which the subject of misfiring brain cells comes up.
Ruby Slippers Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 My girlfriends and I always talk about this. A friend will often interject in a story: "I was PMSing". And you GET IT. PMS sucks! The STUPIDEST, sappiest commercial or notion can make you cry. The hormones are swinging, the emotions are flaring, and your uterus is wringing itself out like a washcloth. And let's not even get started on the swollen, achy breasts. Not fun. However, I would not discuss my menstrual cycle openly in the office. TMI.
tincanman99 Posted October 8, 2010 Posted October 8, 2010 I am not sure what the big deal is with men and this. The very parts you love to play with so much are the ones involved. Its not like every woman on the planet does not have a period. Its part of life and being female. If you are involved with a woman you are going to encounter it. Not much else to say.
sanskrit Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 Low social class or young and ill-mannered. You won't find employees of either gender sitting around talking about such in higher class environments. It is the verbal equivalent of farting loudly in your cubicle.
redmelon Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 none of the high class people I know have jobs.
sanskrit Posted October 9, 2010 Posted October 9, 2010 none of the high class people I know have jobs. Was using the term "high class" in a more Weberian social strata way than in a "Social Register/landed gentry" way.
Star Gazer Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 For those women who are interested, I have cramps.
