Re; Men are under the influence of raging hormones 24/7 so we're used to it.

reminds me of the old joke-- which would you prefer a male boss or a female one?

Female... while her hormones turn her into a bitch 3 or 4 days every month, a male boss is a bastard all the time.

i personally find that classic "PMS" is a magnifier.. if i am in a good mood, or had a good experience, the changing hormone level makes it into a great mood. but if i had a bad day or something has gone wrong, then, that too, gets magnified, normal anxiety, becomes almost panic attack, too.

of course the physical symptoms associated with hormonal cycle do tent to make it more likely i will not be in a good mood..its hard to be up with a head ache
