The recent debate on this net about female menstrual periods
failed to tackle an important issue. 
There seems to be some scientific and medical evidence that
women go thru profound psychological and behavioural changes
during their monthly menstrual periods. For example, last year
in England, a lady killed a cop in very singular circumstances,
and got away with it by invoking the temporary insanity defense.
Her lawyer brought in scores of medical and psychiatric experts
who testified that it is a scientific fact that women do go thru
behavioural changes during menstruation, and that the lady on trial
was temporarily insane when she killed the cop.
What do you think about this, ladies? Is it true, or is
this just another male made scheme to burden females??
No flames, please.
