THANK YOU
Friendly unfriendly reminder that "Ovulation is like an animal being in heat and makes you stupid" has been a keystone of western misogyny pretty much since Europe worked out what periods are.
I feel insane "hah ovulation makes me crazy" "ugh my luteal phase makes me such a gross depressing bitch".
Ovulation lasts ≈5 days (a few days before egg release, 1 day for egg, few days post until the egg dies)
The luteal phase varies but ≈12-14 days
17 to 19 days of a month spent, what, experiencing a degree of hormone induced mental fog? 204-228 days of a year spent in uterine derived madness?? Be so for real. The repackaging of "pms makes women bitches" to "my luteal phase makes me so irrational" is just "hysteria" by another name.
