I don't think I deserve that kind of snippy and pejorative reply.  It was just as rude to me as that man was to you. Which goes to show that rudeness has nothing to do with educational deficits.  Wendy On Sunday, June 8, 2014 11:43 PM, Diana Gale Matthiesen <DianaGM@dgmweb.net> wrote: PMSing?  For heavens sake, let's not perpetuate that lame stereotype of an excuse.  I've never "PMS'd" in my life, and I've never met a woman who did.  Did I accuse this guy of "testosterone poisoning"?  Rudeness and illogical thinking are not gender disorders, they're educational deficits.

I apologize for my lack of tact, Wendy. I just hate to see women reinforcing negative stereotypes about women.

 Thank you. I think. Even tho you apologized for your lack of tack, and I would like to graciously accept your apology, you turn around in the very next breathe and   accuse me of being a woman who reinforces negative stereotypes against women.   What's up with that?  Who brainwashed you into believing that your so called negative female stereotypes have any validity whatsoever.  Nobody remembers Freud anymore, and the younger generation accepts much more variation in human behavior and responses as being normal.   You need to realize that PMS is not a negative stereotype to anyone but you and your unusual belief system.  It is a self limiting condition characterized by several physical discomforts and a low progesterone level.   We don't feel good for a week, and we may cry easily or yell at kids  when they make too much noise, but I assure you that most other women and men are kinder when they know you aren't your usual self.  I've never seen anybody post to facebook that women with PMS have completely ruined their otherwise good impression of women.   So what if I thought that the woman who wrote me that angry letter was being affected by a severe episode of PMS? I can recognize PMS traits because I had it too. Perhaps I was wrong, but what if I wasn't?  And does it matter? PMS was not used as an insult, but rather as a possible cause.   The whole point of my original posting was just to empathize with you by sharing a similiar experience that I had, and you shot me down cold. I hope this concludes this whole unpleasant episode, as I don't think I want another forked tongue apology.
