You know, if it didn't cause me so much trouble, it probably wouldn't get so much attention -

There is nothing like getting to remember yesterday was International Women's Day -

Like getting woken up in the middle of the night to be reminded you're female.

And you're pretty certain by this point that the whole reproductive exercise is just that - an exercise.

Kind of like riding that stationary bike. Pedal like mad - get nowhere whatsoever. But boy howdy - you're healthy! YAY.

You think it's such a great idea, you do it. Oh. That's right.

Yanno, I'm not going to suggest you slam your penis in a car door once a month - but you might consider how "nice" your life would be if, say, it bled once a month for five days. Enough you had to wear a diaper. And pretend nothing was going on. Oh la di dah.

Oh yeah - and it hurts some, too.

But. You're not female, you're not in the loop.

I guess I should be happy - this month, I don't have to consider breaking a law in South Dakota.

Hoo-fucking-ray.

Lemme alone. Rest of the time, I'm expected to deal with this all by my lonesome. Really really.

Hon, the last thing I want to do is remind people I'm less than human (i.e., female).

It's not pretty, it's not honest, but it keeps me working and stuff.

I guess I'm pretty lucky then, I don't seem to run into the kind of people that take my moodiness about feeling like shit as a sign that I'm somehow lessened as a human being. Then again, my MO is not different about it if I have the flu or a really bad cold. I'm just a baby when it comes to pain, and I've known plenty of guys who're exactly the same way.

Besides, if I'm ever bound to run into someone who's gonna belittle me for being sensitive to pain, I'll be sure to remind them that bravery and grace is not about say... pushing something the size of a regulation football out of your vagina... but knowing that you're gonna feel like you're dying from it throughout, and deciding to do it anyway.
