HUH?!: “Irritable Male Syndrome”
By
Uh-oh. Jed Diamond–a less than masculine author and “psychotherapist” (who likely needs to be examined by one, himself)–has invented a new male disease to help the feminists out.
Since so many women use PMS as an excuse for anger and bitchiness–and so many other women get upset when men tell them they “must be PMSing,” Diamond comes to the rescue with a new form of psychobabblish:
Can you really come up with an entire disease, just by studying Ted Kennedy and Harry Reid?
Apparently so. Well, Diamond actually ripped the idea off from Gerald A Lincoln, Ph.D., a researcher in Scotland.
Doesn’t he realize that a preponderance of girlie-men (and Muslims–which may not be mutually exclusive categories) live in the UK? Hardly a good sample.
Diamond formed Girlie-Men, Inc. to address the prob. Well, actually that’s my nickname for his business, the Northern California (read: San Francisco and Village People) men’s health clinic and online support network, MenAlive.com. Please check your testicles at the door.
Says Diamond:
In many ways, women suffered and relationships suffered. It’s the same thing with IMS. If you say, he is just an irritable, grouchy old guy, you don’t address the problem and it gets worse.
And we wonder why Al-Qaeda laughs at us and why we don’t have the cojones to show terrorists we mean business . . . .
