The redness of beastie signifies the redness of the menstruation and also a person getting angry, swinging around a hammer corresponds to mood "swings", and indicates the anger. In retrospect, it seems like quite a reasonable choice of image. Dunno about the rubber bit, maybe this has something to do with contraception, in summary: anger -> redness of beastie menstruation -> redness of beastie mood swings -> swinging of hammer rubber -> something to do with contraception, or co-incidence cali
