The recent debate on this net about female menstrual periods failed to tackle an important issue. There seems to be some scientific and medical evidence that women go thru profound psychological and behavioural changes during their monthly menstrual periods. For example, last year in England, a lady killed a cop in very singular circumstances, and got away with it by invoking the temporary insanity defense. Her lawyer brought in scores of medical and psychiatric experts who testified that it is a scientific fact that women do go thru behavioural changes during menstruation, and that the lady on trial was temporarily insane when she killed the cop. What do you think about this, ladies? Is it true, or is this just another male made scheme to burden females?? No flames, please. C H E D L E Y. c/o wxlvax!olsen.

One extreme does not set a standard. Yes, of course, hormonal changes affect behavior...so what's new? Men have been affected by hormonal changes for centuries, but the male cycle is not a monthly one. It is, in fact, far less predictable. Nancy Parsons

Some of the changes which we go through are pretty intence at times. I found that after I cut sugar and most products which contain sugar, out of my diet, my mood swings were greatly reduced. I have read that sugar (and honey) help you use up more of the B vitamins in your system. Taking a good B complex every day is also a good preventive measure. ##### ##"""""## ##" ^ ^ "## ## Q Q ## "@ w @" Annadiana Beaver #\ \_/ /# A Beaver@Tektronix ###\___/### "## ##"

There may have been extenuating circumstances in this woman's case, but in general, this sort of defense strikes me as being about as reasonable as the infamous "Twinkie Defense."

I have a comment on the following article. The recent debate on this net about female menstrual periods failed to tackle an important issue. There seems to be some scientific and medical evidence that women go thru profound psychological and behavioural changes during their monthly menstrual periods. For example, last year in England, a lady killed a cop in very singular circumstances, and got away with it by invoking the temporary insanity defense. Her lawyer brought in scores of medical and psychiatric experts who testified that it is a scientific fact that women do go thru behavioural changes during menstruation, and that the lady on trial was temporarily insane when she killed the cop. What do you think about this, ladies? Is it true, or is this just another male made scheme to burden females?? No flames, please. C H E D L E Y. c/o wxlvax!olsen. There seems to be some scientific and medical evidence that men have psychlogical and behavior problems when it comes to sex. The last president of the USA was shot at by a man who was declared temporarily insane because he had sexual problems. His lawyer brought in scores of psychiatric and medical experts who testified about his illness. What do you think about this men? Is is true, or is this just another male made up scheme to scare women? :-):-):-) Larry Welsch houxu!welsch
