As a married man, I feel I ought to know something about menstrual cramps and what to do about them, in order to understand and be able to help my wife. Jeff is not married yet, so, he doesn't need the information now, but he might, when and if he does marry. So why is Jeff's statement so objectionable? Is it because people think that since men don't have menstrual cramps, they should studiously avoid knowing anything about them? Gary Samuelson
