Have a Happy Period!
Devil's advocate
While I am female, have suffered much heavier periods in recent years due to fibroids which, during my pregnancy with my son, the rest of my family referred to as my son's "neighbors," I certainly sympathize, and I think Wendi's letter is hilarious and well written. But...I just think that jibes like this at the, er, "female condition," no matter how humorous or tongue-in-cheek they are, are sometimes misconstrued by ill-meaning men to keep "irrational" women "in their place."
I am not trying to stir up trouble. I have seen this letter before, and laughed myself silly too...and someone else brought up the point that I have mentioned.
No matter what, "Have a happy period" as an advertising slogan is ludicrous. Guys, sorry if that was too much information (TMI).
