AIBU ...........my son, 19, thinks women should never be in a position of power because of their periods

[BlueBirdsNest]

do women having periods make them less capable

That sentence makes absolutely no sense.

HTH.

Are you asking aibu to have a son who thinks this?
Confused.

ok lol
sorry

If that's really what he thinks, then that's a little frightening.

Has he told you how he's come to think that?

Can I be the first to say...

This isn't going to end well, OP.

no he said tonight that he thinks that wowen should not be able to hold positions in government because they get pmt

He is only 19 though Jacksmania and thinks , that women in positions in power will hve PMT and screw it all up

...And some men think with their dicks

No.

Periods do not make women less capable.

Not all women get PMT. And the majority of women who do, have mild symptoms relieved by chocolate and wine

• Posted too soon - and may also screw things up

Tell him that if men can get into power when so many of them are ignorant misogynists like him, then a few women with PMT (which not all women get anyway) should be able to cope...

And this is the son that you brought up......

Yeah well, tell him men have two heads and they shouldn't be in power because they frequently think with the little one.

May I be the first to say your son's a twat?

Sorry but he is

A 19 year old adult should know better by now.

If women are so mentally unstable, why is it that the majority of prisoners who have committed violent crimes are men?

That's not a good thing for a teenage boy to be thinking, quite scary in fact.

Although I'm glad I'm not in charge because id be culling people a few days before my period....

If he actually did say that I would suggest that you put him right fair sharply. Does your son have such disregard for women usually? Being 19 is no excuse. Why are you not putting him in his place?

Aw, sweet, OP. Aren't some lads that age as daft as brushes! So much to learn.

My two DSs are a similar age and they wouldn't dare say something as stupid as that in front of me

He is a grown man.

Sounds like too much South Park to me.

Tell him to wise up.

I remember my 2nd or 3rd period, I was 11 and wanted to take the day of school and stay in bed. My mum asked what did I think would happen to the world if every women took to their bed for 3 days a month!

I have brought him up to be 'accepting' so it did confuse me when he said ....any women given the ability to put their finger on button should not be allowed to because PMT will make them trigger happy

'The button'

What do you think of this comment of your son's? Out if character, or representative of how he views women?
