Help me see.

What is the "male adjusted system"?

I don’t want to blame men, men are awesome! This is a critical thought against our system.

Going to regular work, with regular hours and constant planning during the month, it seems like not many people are aware of the power of a woman’s cycle.

During luteal and menstruation phase, symptoms of stress and lack of energy are high & also normal (even besides the right food and enough movement). Therefore we could take it slower. It’s just smart. We work anyway but do we really need that, working as hard as normally? While during ovulation and after menstruation, we experience a really great level of energy. Men have a relatively constant level of their hormones.

And sometimes I just wish for more awareness - and for me, that I am able to use my cyclic energy more efficiently for myself and others. :)

This is silly. Take a second to think more critically about "regular work", "regular hours", and "constant planning".

What would the consequences of ignoring "regularity" be? Would the lights turn on? Would the water, sewer, and hospitals function?

But yeah "fuck the system" am I right ? The really important thing is that people are aware women are different. Not that society is functioning. You literally want it all to conform to you and your schedule.

You're argument is incredibly selfish, and naive.

Reinforces that women are chaotic and men are order.

I think you have it exactly backwards. Much of the regularity imposed by the school system and 9-5 jobs is very female-oriented. Hormonally, women are cyclic and predictable, while men are highly reactive.

If you want someone to juggle a multitude of tasks day in and day out and see they are all given proper attention, you're basically describing child-rearing and the mode of operation at which women naturally excel.

If you want someone to tackle high-pressure situations or single-mindedly work at solving a problem, men are naturally best suited.

The problem with "the system" is that it tries to fit both men and women into this same common mold—that of the machine—rather than recognizing our innate differences and tendencies and how they can best work together to build up a society.
