Joy Brown describes how her personality shifts dramatically across her menstrual cycle, cycling through versions like "bitchy Joy" and "moody Joy." She argues these mood swings are involuntary and unavoidable, something you have to accept and work with rather than fight.
Well, think of our menstrual cycle. It's fucking built in. We're a different person each week, essentially, because of our bodies. Right. I know when I am in a hormonal shift, I can feel it. Mm-hmm. Right. I'm like, mm, this ain't normal me. Yeah. Or that me from last week. Oh, this is bitchy Joy. I'm like, this is what's going on. Right? Or no, I'm moody Joy now. You know, I'm gonna cry about everything. And then you just roll with it. Cause we don't really have a fucking choice. We usually have to roll with it. We don't have a choice. Yeah. You just have to, you have to accept it.
