Moody Men

What do men call it when they have mood swings, ups and downs, and are overly emotional? I'm really curious. There's a friend that thinks that anytime a female is in disagreement with him or is angered by his words they they must be "insane", "hormonal", or its the time of the month.

So what is it called when you men do the same stuff?

I've just witnessed a FEW of my male friends go through ups and downs emotionally and yet I know that I don't call it anything but ups and downs but if I'm (or another female) is having a bad day, we're being asked if we're having a visit from our "little friend", "aunt" ........

What's it called when you have to quiet yourself and retreat without warning or caution so you can get your mind right when something is troubling your spirit? Maleopause?

Sexism.

My "education" at home with my mother, at school, on my neighborhood playgrounds, and at church, all placed males in the middle of the universe. My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ...

Aquarius Rising - Authentically Me

Aquarius Rising - Sy Smith I'm not one to really get into Zodiac signs and yet I'm fascinated the astrological relationship to our spirits. I know we all still blame the moon for man's "lunacy". When I read about the sign of Aquarius, I'm taken by how much it does describe me. I'm not guided by astrology but I do recognize its connection to the Universe. Some don't realize how man used astrology throughout the bible as a guide for God's people. But this isn't about astrology and the Christian faith but me being the fabulous Aquarius female that I am. This is me, basically...READ ON Aquarius (The Sun is in Aquarius from approximately January 20 to February 18, depending on the year). One of the standout characteristics of those born under the Sun Sign of Aquarius is their unwillingness to follow the beaten track. With ...
