Why do men act like hormones aren’t real?

Obviously nOt aLL mEn but so many look at hormones like they’re just a myth. Same with depression. Nevermind the fact that hormonal changes can even cause depression and other mental issues.

This happened a while back but I was just thinking about it for some reason a minute ago. My bf saw I had a period tracker on my phone and acted like I was so weird for it. “You have a TRACKER on your phone for your period??!”

… yeah. You fuckin idiot. I said “the first thing a doctor will ask a woman in the exam room is when she had her last period.” And he just looked at me like I’m crazy and don’t know what I’m talking about lmao.

I just wish sometimes they’d make even the smallest effort to study us, our anatomy, what changes when we age, etc.

Wanna know why I’m crying so much or nit picking? Wanna know why one minute I want this food and the next I hate it? Wanna know why I feel lethargic all of a sudden? Wanna know where these stress knots are coming from? Why I’m so tense?

A lot of these things are due to hormonal changes but they act like we just make that up or use it as excuses for our anger/sadness/energy dropping.

IT IS A FUCKING EXCUSE.

And they don’t even realize their own hormones. Again, they act like it’s a thing only women deal with… even tho it doesn’t exist.
