I know right? What is it about men that they find their own bodily functions so hilarious? Now believe me, I think this whole emoji thing is absurd to begin with, but if anyone proves that human function can be laughed at it's men. And then they seem to think WE enjoy it...... "Here, pull my finger"........

I despise those stupid little rectangles and anything to do with them, and the people who invest their souls in owning and using them.

Not worth the time it would take me to formulate a response. Adjust your meds.

Really, people, this is what you choose to get upset about? As a woman, I say, get over it! It's a natural part of every woman's life, so it has relevance to them. And it's also an unpleasant part of it, and women frequently commiserate about it with each other. Big frigging deal.

Some people seem to go out of their way to find things to be offended about.

I'm only seeing one, maybe two, that could be categorized offended here. We're having a conversation about it. I think it's dumb, and don't really foresee too many women using it, but (to repeat my earlier comment) whatever.

Some people just really like to use emojis. A lot.

Sardonic hyperbole again, right?

I foresee a LOT of women using it.

I have girlfriends who talk about their periods quite often. And they use emojis a lot. Perfect storm.

ROTFLMAO...... If it's a good friend a stupid little emoji ain't getting the job done. She's getting the whole story.

Me: "No, sorry, I'm not going out I got the f***ing cramps, I'm bloated, I'm being a cranky b***h, I've been crying because I look like a whale, so you can get your ass over here and bring me some Pamprin on your way."

You might not feel like elaborating. It's just a cute quick way to say what you want to say.

I won't be using it. I think it's silly. I'm just saying that some chicks will love it.
