It’s not attaching a positive or a negative to your God/given characteristics and nature.

It’s just a fact of life.

Napoleon might have had to deal with being short, but he also never had a week of weepy, b*tchy PMS to contend with followed by a week of the discomfort and nuisance of a period.

Imagine, on the battlefield, having to handle that!

If Napoleon were female, he would have been hamstrung 2weeks out of every 4, for the majority of his leadership years.

I think you can apply that across the board, no?

You are right! There is a reason why men have, throughout history, been in the seat of leadership and power: because they should be.

You see, that’s the “gender goggles.” If Napoleon’s problem wasn’t being a woman, then what caused the defeat of the fleet at Aboukir? Why did he invade Russia and lose 90% of the Grand Armee? What about Waterloo?

Pause, crickets, crickets ...

That PMS garbage is just that...garbage. If anything it’s an excuse, and something men go on about having no clue what they mean.

Cyclical changes have never affected me. I don’t notice a lick of difference and neither had anyone else. It’s BS.

No...Nappy had a severe case of IBS or colitis, which is far worse and he suffered from being short, a Corsican ( and NOT French, which was a stigma back then ), and you're willfully missing the point and in doing so, making the case "for" women being "stupid"/emotional wrecks, who are incapable of doing anything and need men to tell them what to do.

Some women are logical; some men aren't.

Some men ( Comey, Obama, Stroke, McCabe, Slick Willie Clinton, Brennan, Glenn Beck, and Chris Matthews, to name but a few ) are highly emotional/hysterical ( if they were females, we could call it "HORMONAL" )wrecks!

Some women aren't highly emotional hysterics, no matter what.
