The same emotion (anger) and for men it's great and for women it's a mental disorder because our hormones are out of whack.

This is not about sexism, and if you want to continue speaking out against sexism I'm sure there is an appropriate section on the forum to do so (current events, off-topic, some such). If you want to discuss sex bias be sure to discuss the bias against men in custody battles over their children, or that women get slaps on the wrist for statutory rape compared to men. You keep mentioning the word "anger" in this discussion of PMS/PMDD but nobody here has even mentioned anger but you...they are mentioning increases in depression, anxiety, and sentimentality. So this has nothing to do with glorifying men's anger and stamping down women's anger in this discussion.
