Women were supposed to be the enigmas, but men? Moody, brooding bastards, the lot of them. A woman with PMS had nothing on a man. Where women might get hormonal once a month, men suffered their own brand of PMS on a daily basis. - Faith

About This Quote

Women are supposed to be the enigmas, but men were supposed to be moody, brooding bastards. Faith is criticizing the norm of how women and men are supposed to act in society. Faith is saying that men suffer their own brand of PMS every day. Many women experience this, but it’s assumed that men are just moody and brooding.

The idea that PMS is what makes women different than men was common in the past, when women were seen as more emotional than men. Of course, it has changed over the years, but there are still parts of society that can’t see past gender roles when it comes to emotions.
