Have you ever blamed someone’s reaction to something on their period?
So like if they’re angry, or they’re just disagreeing with you, would you say it’s because of their period?

😭... I wish I was that type to be aggressive and not sentimental over things. I wonder what excuses can be given to men when they are acting uppity or a mess?

Well some girls have their thumb right on the self detonator trigger during their period but my tolerance to just blame it on hormones is not huge. When you allow yourself to fuck with me I will blame you, not your condition when it exceeds a given level of tolerance.

Naw, I don't get into that invalidating or dismissing kids' feelings by saying "it's just hormones" either.

I know its easy for me to say, as I've never experienced one. But I don't think there is any worthwhile excuse to to treat people like shit. So no, I wouldn't see behaviour as 'because of their period' and I certainly wouldn't except it as an excuse or apology for their shitty behaviour.

Yes when I have to go to the store and remember whether it was the pink with black letters maxi box or the black with pink letter ultra-thins box she wanted me to pick up, or wait there is a blue box that has ultra on it too... anyway I blame that on her period 😛
