This is kind of a personal one, but up until about five years ago I used to believe that cramps and PMS and things were imaginary. I thought girls talked themselves into it, or used it all as an excuse to get away with all sorts of crap a man could never do.
I'm 23 and female; it just took me a while to grow up. I was very, very wrong.
