And most of the time, those type of comments come from men, which makes it all the more worse, because they just assumed that it was a "female" problem, and not because of...oh let's say work stress, home stress, MAN stress, or anything outside of menstruation.

Couldn't agree with you more. Too many times men will use that term as a sort of male superiority put down. Its a way of invalidating a woman's feelings, by implying that she is just some thoughtless creature at the whim of every change of raging hormones. It lets the guy off the hook when he doesn't want to deal with something we say. Actually, I always wanted to get one of those T-Shirts that say, "I'm off my estrogen and I have a gun!"
