    Oh, I thought this would be about the commercials I've been seeing on Hulu. I decided to catch up on a show and since Hulu has it, I watched it there. And there's these Always commercials involving a sportsball woman who is able to do sports because she's a woman and has pads. I always thought that's what painkillers were for, but good for her?

    I'm not particularly in love with this letter, for various reasons; personally I'm sensitive to people claiming my strong emotions are directly correlated to my period, even if its true, and even if its said from fellow period-havers.

    Well, my “time of the month” is starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body.

    And then Aarons continues by giving examples of how out of control people are on their periods, so they basically just invalidated themselves?

      The letter was intentionally using hyperbole, I don't think the author thought that periods caused people to become homicidal manics. It came across riffing on stereotypes.

        I gotcha - sometimes I miss the tone in those sorts of pieces, especially online.

        It's McSweeney's, which tends to always write this way, sorta weird humor/parody stuff.
