Absolutely! I find so many people (*ahem* men) think it's just an excuse for bad behavior. There's nothing more irksome than somebody asking 'Oh, is it your time of the month?' when you're having a valid argument. UGH.
But what really got to me, and what got me to write this, was a post-thing on a website supposedly about sexual health. It was written by a *woman*, and she was arguing that PMS was a myth and that women needed to not be "assholes."
I'm sorry, but I am one of the women with PMDD, and for me, though I try very hard (or did I should say... I went on the pill and things have changed dramatically, yay), sometimes I come off bitchy, etc. Not to mention all the other symptoms... the fatigue, the aching, etc, etc... oh, and beyond bitchiness, the swings from really happy to really not in 2.5 seconds. Yeah, I can live without all of that. Yay modern medicine.
