    #1- Inspite of being around 200,000 years and living with it for most of their lives, women still are clueless about their own body functions. Evidance: 25 TOM threads per day.

    The fact that men on this site even know what the acronym "TOM" means...... says a lot to me.......

    #6 people are genuinely lazy and refuse to a) search through the forums for their answer or b) search the internet so therefore they make another thread that already has pages and pages for their answer :huh:

    #7--If you have an opinion that differs from someone else...you are a troll or "trouble maker" (even if said opinion is stated in the most respectful way possible)

    I couldn't agree more with this!!! And if it is not what someone wants to hear, you are also judgmental.

    People are usually saying something ignorant when they use the word "ignorant".

    Is nobody going to point out that evidence was spelled wrong?

    In semi-defense of women who complain about TOM (and no, I have not nor will I ever do so on this site) - women have become incredibly disconnected from their cycle. It has become a burden - the "curse." As long as it is viewed this way, it will be complained about. Many women also do not know that what they eat, and their weight and exercise, but particularly what they eat and when they eat it can have a huge effect on what their cycle is like (excluding those with true health issues). Is that information out there? Yes. Can they access it fairly easily? Yes. Do they? No, just like a lot of other things. Culturally, women have become disconnected from their bodies and until they take control of their own knowledge, there will continue to be complaints, rather than looking for a solution. So, in one way this is a defense because women do not know their own bodies and have been encouraged to remain in the dark (I've never been present at a birth - that's just sad), in another way I'm saying - get out there and read and learn about your own amazing bodies and the value that your cycle has.

    I have to turn off the red pen in my mind when I come on to MFP...or else it would explode. :laugh:


    And I don't want to "loose" my head. :frown:

    Sorry, I was frothing at the time. Most of the time my spelling and grammar is good. Unlike when i'm writing an article I don't always spell check or edit posts on forums. As long as the you get what I mean, it should be fine.

    What I have learned:

    Men who know exactly how many TOM threads women have posted need to step away from their pc more often.

    Why would men give a hoot about TOM threads? And why would they read them to know if we are clueless about our own bodies or not?

    Hmm.

    25 is an estimate, obviously a lot of ladies don't understand their won functions given the number of TOM titled threads. All you have to do is scan the first page of each forum and you'll probably find at least one with in the title. I guess that basic logic is above your capacity for reasoning.

    Let me make it easier:

    A bunch of TOM threads on the first page= more likely that people don't understand.
    Not man TOM threads= probably more likely that they do understand.

    Simple logic.

    LOL. Well I found this quite funny. :D Hehehehe!!

    Like "Help! My girlfriend is on her TOM and she got REALLY angry when I told her to suck it up princess. Is this normal?!??!" LOL
