There used to be a lot of social pressure for women to ‘hide their crazy’. I’m dating an incredibly level-headed woman right now, and we discussed this. She can’t believe it.
She, and actually my ex, both agree there is a significant amount of crazy in every woman. The extent to which an individual checks that crazy differs. My ex’s crazy erupted like a festering boil when she turned 50. Everyone was in the splash zone, unfortunately, and she wrecked the family in the process.
Her entire department (a teacher, which contributed to the crazy level) was all female once, and she was the department head. She once allowed that she needed one, just one, man in the department as a control rod for the estrogen reactor, which was always drifting beyond critical. The metaphor was mine, and apt. I still use it.
Excellent metaphor. Consider it stolen by me.
When did women begin to believe that rude, vulgar, nasty and loud is attractive.
(Look at the mega-slut Miley Cyrus.)
Wow, I never thought I'd read that in a public forum. However, sure you agree the "crazy" is about hormone fluctuations that make them perceive any circumstance in different ways, depending on the time of month. Their hormone driven emotions take over their ability to reason. That is why I'm against women in combat roles. The feminists can claim both sexes are the same, but after 69 years and raising a boy and girl, I know better.
My wife is beyond menopause and agrees with my assessment above. We also agree that testosterone in men is the major reason for stupid fist-fights, gun-shootings, domestic violence, and especially WARS and conquest throughout history. Ever notice that when most men hit their 50's they become more complacent? Lower testosterone lets men think more rationally. Same with women when their estrogen isn't raging.
It's all a matter of physiology and who can control their hormone urges or fluctuations.
