It's a Bird, It's a Plane.. No.. It's a PERIOD!

Guys, watch out. Any female around you could be a raving lunatic, may push you over for being in the way of her and a chocolate bar, or could verbally berate you because she, my friends might be MENSTRUATING.

A recent "relationship advice" columnist from Temple University wrote his last "advice" column yesterday in the student paper about the topic of his girlfriend's period, and how much it sucks to not have anyone to please his "morning wood." Thank you for the visuals, Mr. John Corrigan.

I read through the whole article, and it sounds more like a rant - an uninformed one at that - about how he hates science. He offers no advice, and admits to not giving advice on his last column. While some comments reacted with disgust, calling him misogynistic, some comments said he was writing "sarcastically." Personally, I thought the article sounded like a middle school boy wrote it and perpetuates the idea that women have no control over their bodies. In this instance, women simply cannot hold back hate(?) toward their boyfriends and need to eat that an entire gallon of ice cream when "that time of the month" rolls around. He may have been writing with a sarcastic tone, but why? What was the point of his article? Does anyone benefit from his article? Not likely, especially women.

My favorite line: "Is attending yoga free of judgment really worth all of the pain that comes with being a woman?"

Not only does he insist that women are powerless, they are the only ones who can do certain activity. He also phrases this questions like "Why would women CHOOSE to be women? Sounds like it sucks!" Good thing he chose to be a man who decided to fall asleep in biology and any social interaction with female friends.
