Ok. This is a copycat thread of a GD thread, but I figured it would go better in the Lounge!



PS - My dad would never say that! At least not out loud! My family is mostly women...very strong women!

24. To any man fool enough to say such a thing:
"Gee, isn't Hillary of the age to be menopausal"? Watch him melt into a little puddle of drool.

17. Yes and no man can make adequate decisions when thinking about sex
Whoops.

But frankly, women can multitask so they can probably make good decisions. I'll bet some plan their weeks during sex. Men on the other hand can't multitask.

As I've said before:

Women think in parallel, men think in serial.

20. It's pretty impressive that he'd even mention a period.
My dad would've never uttered the word, except in a non-menstruation-related context.

Women making decisions simply wasn't done.

27. So she will be sane 25 days of the month. That's an improvement.
Men get an increase in testosterone whenever anything emotional happens.

28. Well, even if that were true (and it's not) I doubt that HRC has had a
period for some time now...
