As a guy, I can't even imagine going through all the things ladies go through every single month—the cramps, the mood swings, the general discomfort.

And then on top of that, you've got the fatigue, the backaches, and the headaches—your body just puts you through the wringer. I don't know how you ladies manage it, honestly.
