Male Influenza

Question

Are there any female members out there who believe in this crippling illness that only afflicts male members of the human race. I feel absolutely awful and the only sympathy I am getting from my better half, note the word better here, is to say, pull yourself together. Typical, she thinks I´m a set of curtains.

jejejejejje, omg, I had to read that twice...you should have seen teh look on my face....jejejejej, set of curtains! I love Joice!! - 00494d19, Dec 17, 2009

Answer 1

Speaking as a physician with several years of experience, I believe in the condition you are referring to. I have no evidence to support my theory but I believe that the male sex is truly the weaker sex. I've seen women deliver 5 kg newborns without any anesthesia and with only a single drop of sweat on their brow. Women who will walk around for days, in high heels none the less, on a broken ankle because they haven't had time to come to the doctor. But the moment a male gets a hangnail or papercut or heaven forbid a cold or flu and they act as if the world is coming to an end. They whimper and cry and demand the BIG DRUGS! I blame it all on the Y chromosome. Now, the geneticists haven't found the gene responsible yet but I believe in a few years they will and PMS - Pitiful Male Syndrome – with garner the respect that such a disabling condition demands. Then all the drug companies will clamor to find effective treatments for this terrible ailment.

If you need a laugh, here is a link for the description of SLS – a similar syndrome affecting mostly females in the USA. Scroll down about halfway to #6 Functional Disorders. http://www.placebojournal.com/shopexd.asp?id=227

I knew you existed out there. A kind caring female. Very funny the SLS syndrome, hehe. - Eddy, Dec 17, 2009

Answer 3

HA!! Riendo a carcajadas, aquí! Sí, mi esposo sufrió de una manera horrible durante unos 10 días y yo - ni nada. ¿Por qué? Quién sabe... Lo siento mucho, Eddy. Dile a tu esposa que se tome unas vacacioncitas de cocinar, ya que me imagino que no comes demasiado ahorita...

Cuídate...

tengo que comer mucho más cuando estoy enfermo, pero mi esposa tiene que darme la comida con una cuchara. - Eddy, Dec 17, 2009
