As part of a study of 2,412 people (50pc men and 50pc women), male participants were asked if they frequently suffered the same common side effects of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) that women experience during their menstrual cycle, including tiredness, cramps and increased sensitivity.Did the female partners of men who think they have man periods believe their man? 58% said yes, and 43% said they tried to help. How? 44% of the believers said they tried to "cheer him up" and 39% said they "walk around on egg shells." How about the women who did not believe their male partner got his period? 33% told him to "man up."
Now men don't bleed — for the special problem of transmen bleeding, read this — so what are they experiencing that accounts for their notion that they're getting their period?
[C]onstant hunger... general irritability. Increased cravings, tiredness and a "bloated" feeling were also reported, with 12 pc confessing that they were "more sensitive about personal weight". 5pc of respondents even reported suffering from "menstrual cramps".That last link — on the "read this," about the transmen — goes to Forbes, but I'm afraid it might be sponsored content. You know, the ads are getting smarter, reacting to human efforts at ad blocking, and we're getting perilously close to the point when humans will not be able to discern what is editorial content and what is an ad. I mean, look:

I came to that conclusion based on their accent.
Bleeding wankers
Do those men reporting that they experience "manstruation" happen to cohabit with women of childbearing age? Symptoms such as irritability can be experienced by everyone, yes, EVERYONE around a woman with PMS, regardless of their sexual self-identification or genitals or relationship with the PMSing woman.
Occam's Razor may apply: smart men won't argue with a PMSing woman, and really smart men will show sympathy to such women, from a safe distance.
I know that I used to keep track of my wife's periods, to know when the chocolate supply needed to be replenished in the pantry. It would be a small step to admitting I was irritated once a month, too.
Bloody hell!
Beta-Males of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your tampons!
It synchronizes with the wife's period.

Probably a result of the guys having eat their own cooking for a week.
French maybe, but not British.

No, because Jimmy Valmer achieved a 100% score in differentiating between legitimate news articles and sponsored content. I'm guessing that he's going to lead a revolution that will drive back the tide of sponsored content line-blurring once and for all.
Or PC Principal is going to take him down for outing his PC frat for only using their progressive political stances and language just to score chicks. It's hard to tell which way it's going to go at this point, especially with Mr. Garrison and Caitlyn Jenner returning to South Park next episode.
Our local news has treated press releases as stories for years. My favorite was the "story" that a new casino was the tallest building between Siloam Springs and Tulsa. There are no cities between Siloam Springs and Tulsa, so the second tallest building is probably a two story house.
That's the Brits; American men are tougher than that!
(cue sound of grizzly bear growling)
@Freeman, two story with a partially above ground basement.
A quarter of British men believe that they experience a monthly 'man period'..."
Heh. No. That's a click-bait headline.
26% of men said they frequently suffered tiredness, cramps OR increased sensitivity. And 74% didn't. Big deal.
And 15% of women (58% of 26%) agreed (and 85% didn't) - a "shocking statistic" for some mysterious reason.
Buckle up, buckaroos!
I think this article is way overdone.
However, I have always felt that for a few says out of the month my beard grew a little faster and I was a little grumpier than usual, and yes, I thought this had something to do with hormones; male hormones that is.
Medical science is a long way from knowing all there is to know about how our bodies - and minds - work.
And some things people just do not want to know.
Today I was exposed to these words I had no idea what they were, gender- queers, transmasculine and now man- periods. Time to quit the internet, everything I'm learning I don't need to know.
Do they snigger more elaborately during?
Sympathetic dynamics or perhaps quantum entanglement.

The operating theory in our house is that PC Principal is really one of the Crab People. Watch how he move about...scurrying sideways like a crab.
Its the Second Coming of the Crab People - mark my words!
In the immortal words of Martin Crane: "Oh Jeez!"
There's only one way to treat man menstruation: you have to find and burn a witch!
This phenomenon COULD explain Russell Brand...
