Ross, once again you have managed to miss the point, and responded abusively.
She did *not* say that some men experience PMS.  She said that your criteria
for deciding whether a woman has PMS would, if applied to a lot of men, show
that they had PMS too.  It was a reductio ad absurdum argument, and you
completely missed it.  Also, she never said that there's no such thing as
PMS.

You have a habit of consistently misinterpreting other's arguments, and then
abusing them for positions which *you* attribute to them.  This is getting
really annoying.  Why don't you give it up, Ross?  You're proving yourself
to be a real twit.
