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. C H E D L E Y. c/o wxlvax!olsen.
