A woman's body is so

February 12, 2002

A woman's body is so much more complicated than my own. If mine is a temple then her's is the Taj Mahal. Its got all that extra blood volume, milk makers and a infinitely more complex component of the baby making process. Its got more hormones, more nooks and crannies and so much more to love on all levels. I was listening to a show about breast cancer and its correlation to early mentruation and childbirth. If there is a correlation to variations in these activities what the hell is a woman supposed to do about it? Should I be rushing right now to tell my daughter not to get her period too early? No matter how much we rationalize and muse on the beauty surrounding a woman's ovulation it still must suck. Having to overcome those gross feelings on a regular basis is just not something most men have to deal with. As an experiment men could kick each other in the nuts for about three consecutive days a month and then we'll see just how long the imbalance of partiarchal influence lasts. I say a year. I say we start the experiment with the area where men wield way too much influence...right wing politicians and corporate executives. Lets get them kicking each other in the nuts starting every third wednesday of the month in varying rotations. There will be a lot of government funds spent on studies linking nut kicking to nut damage but there will be peace in our time.
