If I have cramps I go take some asprin, if I'm sad I go off to a private place where my crying won't annoy or disrupt others. I take responsibility for myself and that includes being adult enough not to bother/annoy people just because I'm not feeling up to snuff..
Btw,men also have hormonal cycles, testostrone levels rise and fall over the course of a 24 hr day, with the highest levels usually occuring at 10am.

There's a difference between coddeling and caring, as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong). Men aren't being selfish when they try to ease the possible suffering women might have. As the menstrual cycle is a part of most women, men should accept that part of a woman as they would any other part. To exclude menstrual issues from a relationship is to avoid a whole part of a person.
I have said several times that men have hormones that run amock, they just don't do it on a 28 day cycle as far as I know (so it's relavence to this thread is arguable). If you want to write a post similar to mine about the male daily testosterone cycle, I would not only welcome it, I would encourage it.
