Well I decided to rant about this, and maybe make myself feel a little better, here I go.
Well, I've been sick for the last few days, I think it might be food poisoning from some food my mother cooked the other night. I've been constantly throwing up, even though I don't eat anything. Throwing up blood and bile is no fun at all.
I complained about this for the first time on MSN to my friend today, and this is what I read in return. "you know what cramps feel like now".
How the fuck can you compare vomiting blood to cramps? I mean, when a woman has a baby I don't say "Now you know what it feels like to be kicked in the nuts." do I?
Here's what's different about men and women, when it comes to this.
A woman: "God, these cramps are so bad."
The response (From a female friend, or a boyfriend.): "Can I get you anything? How can I make you feel better?"
From random men: "I'll just be over there... If you need me. :: Avoids the woman on her period. ::"
A man: "God my stomach hurts, I don't even want to move."
A woman's response: "Now you know what cramps are like."
Man's response: "Suck it up, pussy." Or something like "Can you help me move this heavy furniture?"
I understand, men normally have a higher tolerance for pain, but that's no reason to disregard them when they mention it.
(This next statement I guess could really be considered an attack against a gender, but don't take it personally.)
How is it that some women still seem to find a way to make a man feel like a complete asshole, even when the man is in extreme pain? I honestly felt like the world's largest ass for complaining about my stomach pains. It's like "You think that's bad? We go through that every month." But the thing is, you aren't VOMITING BLOOD THREE TIMES A DAY.
I mean, for fuck's sake, I've destroyed my esophagus with all the bile I regurgitated. Every time I move I have to rush to the bathroom, or risk staining my carpets. I haven't eaten anything besides yogurt for the last two days, and everyone around me seems to be complaining about something pointless, like having to go to TWO stores instead of ONE, or how they hate that they go to the doctors just to find out they're 100% healthy. =_=
Seriously, it pisses me off, and I know I can't complain, because if I do they'll either 1) Think I'm joking, or 2) Just not care.
