A Menstrual Site for Men

That’s how PMSBuddy.com pitches itself. To wit:

PMSBuddy.com is a free service created with a single goal in mind: to keep you aware of when your wife, girlfriend, mother, sister, daughter, or any other women in your life are closing in on “that time of the month” – when things can get intense for what may seem to be no reason at all.

Note that they are smart enough to not include “employees” in the list of women to keep an eye on.

Is there anything the internet can’t do?

    Never did understand why it is offensive to imply that increased hormone levels impacts personality and emotional stability. Isn’t that just science?

    “Employees”? What about employers? Bosses can be women too thankyouverymuch.

    Well, because of its inherent anonymity, it doesn’t seem to be able to foster sensitivity and respect between people the way real society does, promoting instead stereotypes, ignorance, and the male conception of women as irrational, hormonal, sex-objects.

    Oh, I’m sorry, was that not charming and sweet? Well, who knows, maybe I’m just PMSing.

    be careful, your reward card at grocery stores and drugstores are also tracking your feminine hygiene purchases, too. Never buy those in timing with your own special calendar. Pretty soon they’ll be sending you coupons for chocolate or breakout creams or whatever your menstrual weakness is and you’ll be irritable plus become paranoid that your postman knows, too.

    It’s offensive because it reinforces the stereotype that women are irrational, hysterical creatures with no self control. You’d certainly never want someone like that to be President. She might go and launch some nuclear missiles because it’s that “time of the month”, ha ha!

    Likewise it allows men to dismiss women’s valid feelings and concerns, because clearly they’re hormonal, they can’t help themselves, etc.

    not only that, they’ll be tracking egg release when a woman is most creative. Or even pre release when she starts nesting. You will be sent household cleaning coupons. Hey and I mean not just creative withinn and just past those vagina walls, either. I mean it’s been shown that those hormonal changes have affected creativity cycles. this is when the men in your office will be keen to stealing your work. Be careful.

    There is hope.

    Because of there fluctuating testosterone, you’ll never be sure of the outcome if you confront them. Keep a graph and don’t share it on the internet, girls. Pass it around the home/office/military phone tree, heck, with a color coded system. And don’t be so obvious as using the rainbow. Use words like teal and turquois, and sea green blue. That confuses the heck out of most of them.
