I see.  Any time a woman does something that *YOU* don't think is
normal for her, she *must* be suffering from PMS.  Right.  Let's
not *ask* her what's wrong and find out she didn't sleep well,
had a fight with her SO, had a proposal turned down, was rejected
by her first choice of grad school, etc., and is suffering from
exactly the same kind of situation that might make a *man*
irritable.

Of course, we all know that men never get grouchy without a good
reason.  :-)
