This hormone thing that kicks off when you are having your periods 
Now i'm aware that hormones control pretty much everything that goes on in a body but what I don't get is the readiness with which women will blame any one of a million things on thier period.
Things like Mood Swings. If i was happy at 9:00am and really angry by 10:00am i'd be able to think to myself "Hang on, you are being a muppet" or at least i'd know exactly what it was that made me angry. Not just "Blame" it on a period
Being emotional. If you find yourself crying at summat you normally wouldn't, GET A GRIP and stop! Crying because ya partner raises his voice really winds us up. It makes us despair which may be the whole point. At least you then get to blurt out "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME" and other such no win lines!
I wouldn't mind, or at least i'd understand better, if it affected all women to the same degree. But it doesn't. I've been in relationships with some right nutters and also relationships with women who you wouldn't even know were in this so called Emotional Turmoil.
Stomach Cramps/Tummy ache etc I CAN understand. It's physical and I can imagine that having your body shifting about in order to have a bit of a clear out as being uncomfortable/painful etc. That I can get my head round and you women have my sympathies for that bit.
In summary I think that the percentage of women whom it really affects is small but the amount of them that jump on the period band wagon is massive.

I reckon blokes should, once a month, be able to go out and **** lots of other women. It's 'natural' and it's hard to fight against the urge - just like women having a tantrum once a week (or is it month? 
). If they can't keep their temper in check, then we can't keep our urges in check either.
It's my hormones they cry! My hormones are crying out for me to **** that bird on reception, but somehow I resist. If us blokes can resist, then the women can too.

OK, don't laugh, but as a bloke I suffer from a monthly cycle. The week leading up to a full moon I lose all sense of rationality and tolerance and can go off like a bottle rocket at the most trivial crap. The male hormonal cycle is a tiny surge compared to the female cycle so I have every sympathy for women who suffer with PMS.
There are plenty of women who are just nasty bitches and blame it on their cycle, though

LOL. You blokes have no idea!!
This mood swing thing does exist!! Some women are more fortunate than others though! Contraception (The pill) can play a massive part in moods too. Some women finds it stops their mood swings and some women become psychotic!! (I was the latter for bloody years till I cottoned on what was causing it!!)
Anyway, women are bound to be ratty when they have their period! Imagine bleeding outta your nether regions for a week a month and be happy about it lol It's inconveinient, messsy and a if your bloke ain't up for it, you get no sex!!!

I have to agree with you Red the main reason I came off the Pill as well.
The pain is bad some months more than others but I don't really suffer from mood swings too much, pretty much scatty and argumentative most of the time

Once we've experienced passing a bowling ball out of our backsides, or had an umbrella opened up our bums, then we can start passing judgement.

ugh, that is DISGUSTING!I hate periods. I wish I never had them. Theyre sore, they affect more then just my tummy, they are a nuisance, they bloat my tummy and make me put on a few pounds. They stop me from doing what I do best. I will 9 times out of 10 get a spot or two. I feel hot and bothered, it's a pain in the backside having to change my tampon ever 4/5 hours. You have to dig out the 'period' pants from the bottom of your knicker drawer, passion killers. I bawled for one WHOLE day at the last ever episode of Cold Feet and i don't know why!
And thats only to name a few. Try and put up with what we have to, then grant us our mere 2/3 days to have a cream puff. Its our god given right!!!

Notorious, you have no idea how glad I am you said that.
I thought I was the only bloke in the world who didn't have serious psychological problems (or actually had been bitten by a werewolf) who had moods according to the moon.
For a few days around the full moon I get horny as hell and significantly shorter fused than usual.
Why? I have no idea. But if the moon can make all that water move around to give us tides, I guess it must do something to our brains as well, being as we're mainly water anyway?
