So, I was starting a wisecrack about how it is I can't possibly vote to put a man in the White House because he hasn't had a lifetime of controlling his emotions for a few days each month to make him be better able to behave correctly when he is in a bad mood.
It was intended to be a glib reversal of the usual jibe against a woman controlling the nuclear button during her menses.
As I said it though, I thought, Holy Crap!! That's actually a legitimate point.
My female friends often talk about the discipline it takes to manage the heightened emotions sometimes felt during that time of the month. Being in well practiced in the art of recognizing one's emotional state and insuring that its contributions to your life performance are positive is actually a huge virtue.
And it's a good thing that many men lack and it shows in many of the things that men are criticized for.
