I must add that this is not a smart move for anyone thinking of trying it.

What the feck has happened to men?!!!
I think the answer is simple.
Deliberate Gender Emancipation.
You see, us blokes were quite happy when we were tasked with going out to kill some deadly animal and bring it back to the cave for cooking.
We were quite happy to go out and risk getting mauled to death, if it meant we could put food on the stone table for the family.
It was what we were good at.
And we knew that you lasses were good at raising a family and keeping the home in order.
It was a mutually beneficial arrangement.
Fast forward to the last century, and the early 80's, and the advent of "New Age Man".
This was a socially-engineered concept, nurtured and released in to the wilds, that said us men had to visibly get in touch with our feelings. To be empathic and sensitive.
I must admit, all us blokes were quite skeptical at first.
I mean, crying is for sissies and the French (after last weekend), and we were a little perplexed as to how it could help us.
But, after constant media pressure, that threw the term "New Age Man" around at every opportunity, we felt obliged to at least have a go, if only to stop the moaning from our signigicant others.
I never forget my first emotive moment.
I was trying to socket wrench a .25 nut off a rusted bolt on a Hayter lawnmover and the damn thing wouldn't budge. The missus told me to stop stressing about it and release my inner hurt.
So I grabbed a can of beer and sat down on the sofa and had a jolly good sniffle. In fact I bawled my eyes out. Tears were everywhere. On my shirt cuffs, on the cream leather sofa, and on the dog (who was NOT amused).
After a good 10 minutes, she asked me if I was ok and felt any better.
I replied "No, not really".
So she said "Well, why don't you go and do something that cheers you up ?"
She had a point. I guess it was all part of the therapy. The "getting in touch with your feminine side."
So I got up, went and fetched my 12-bore from the gun cabinet, and summarily executed the mutha-fooking piece of rusted scrap metal in a haze of gunshot.
When she came running out of the house, no doubt hoping I'd topped meself, she said, quite breathlessly, "What the hell was that all about ? I thought you were getting in touch with your feminine emotions ?"
I replied "I am. I'm on my fecking period."
