Surprising? Hormonal cycles affect hunger and fullness? Next they'll be reminding me I have boobs.
Yup, it's true: I'm cynical about the level of research relating to women's bodies. Any guy who's ever looked down his nose at me for my frustration is welcome to earn his sneer by fixing my menstrual pain. Step right up; the line forms right here.

I wonder how many studies it will take before a woman's word about what she's going through gets any respect. I'm sure outright disbelief of womens' claims is a phenomenon that started well before Freud.
That was a total revelation to me. The thought that while men merely had to put UP with us, we're the ones who actually have to go through these hormonal swings.
Gee, what YOU deal with matters TOO, huh? You radical you.
