I don't mean to sound narrow-minded or unsympathetic for those that suffer pain. (I know I suffer from migraines that no one would understand) But I am not simply talking about Jordan here... All the women in the house have complained ... A LOT! If they have PCOS (sorry, I don't know what that is) or another condition I would hope they would get medical attention and be able to manage it better. I guess I just feel that they set women back 100 years by their complaining so much. Again... I don't mean to offend anyone that suffers painful periods... I just have never heard anyone complain as much as these women.

Missyb I could not agree more with your 11:37 AM post. There are only 2 votes to cast. Jordan should not be screwing with her vote. It's a slippery slope. She just wants to look like the kind sympathetic person. Rachel knows what she's doing but she is at everyone's mercy if she does not win veto. Rachel can't afford to make waves. JeJo wouldn't give Brendon a "pity" vote.

The thing I love about this place is it helps open up those of us that are narrow minded.

bon - i agree that they all complain BUT i think jordan is probably the one that has them the worst and doesn't complain at all - you can just tell she's miserable

Bon, I was thinking the same thing about the constant complaining about periods, but got scared to agree with you!
I think it does set women back when they act this way, reinforcing the incorrect opinion that women are the 'weaker sex'. Also, when I was young, women never really talked so openly about what I still think should be a private matter. (Gawd....I sound like my mother....)

PCOS = Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome.. multiple cysts ((can be rather large)) on the ovaries. can cause infertility, multiple miscarriage, uterine and/or ovarian cancer later in life, diabetes, endometrial cancer risk is increased, higher risk of heart disease, total or partial insulin resistance, weight problems (for some, not all), etc. can cause painful, frequent periods or no periods at all. can cause migraines, daily struggles with fatigue, depression, anxiety. constant hormonal imbalance. Can be helped (sometimes) with birth control. Lots of women with PCOS can't tolerate the birth control and just have to live with it every single day (I'm one of those people..) Bon, I can sympathize with your migraines. I have them from time to time. My mother gets them often. Mostly associated with her periods. 4 straight days of a migraine every single month. pain can be debilitating. if you were at my house 3 weeks out of the month, you'd probably hear more complaining than what these girls do. Lol!! ((not that I'm proud of that, mind you, lol. just the truth.))

If you go by pain and complaining about it as a basis, I would say men are the far weaker sex... just sayin'

Buck... my migraines are hormonal.... 9 days during period and 3 or 4 during ovulation. (Ever since I had my 1st child) I wouldn't go into the house without my medications.

Having uncontrollable, unmanagable pain each and every month does NOT make us the weaker sex. Blame it all on Eve lol. I suffered so much growing up, missed tons of school because of it. If you haven't experienced that kind of pain every month, you really have no idea how bad it is. I've had 2 kids, both natural childbirth, and I compare what I went through every month to that pain. Everyone doesn't have it so bad and yea to be you, but for some of us, it is completely debilitating. And yes, my mother sought medical attention for me, but basically was told mydol and heating pad. But I'm ancient, so maybe they have a miracle drug to treat pms now and yes, if it got rid of that pain, it would be a miracle drug lol.

Nana... if one is debilitated are they not weaker per se? I am thinking Adam is hoping that all the women cycle at the same time and that it is during the last endurance comp... The way they have all complained Adam would have it in the bag.

reinforcing the incorrect opinion that women are the 'weaker sex'. Anyone who thinks women are the weaker sex because complaining about period pain would only be someone who never had a period or given birth and those people would think it anyway. My husband has told me he is so grateful that he is NOT a woman he could not handle it LOL. I was away all day and night yesterday. Do we know for sure Kalia is going ????

It is funny, but I have never met a guy that complains about pain or when he is sick and I have a husband, a dad, and four brothers...and none of my guy friends complained either...so I laugh when I hear this constantly about men.

Ummm....I DID say the "incorrect opinion that women are the 'weaker sex'" - but yeah, Bonbon does have a point - if you are debilitated, then you are 'weaker'.

No Bon, I don't think it does. Just because a few days to a week out of the month you experience horrible pain, does not make you a weak person. My daughters tell me all the time that I am the strongest person they know, with all that I've had to endure in my life, and still rebound and live on.
