I'm afraid that the biological makeup of women, like their activities, interests, and personalities, is shrouded by this idiotic mystique in which young adolescent males talk to young adolescent males and develop the same vast quantity of cultural ignorance and misinformation. Just as we've had posters who believe women are by nature emotional vipers, or goddesses fit for mounting only on pedastals, or ready to jump anything that has the proper male parts, or incapable of crossing a street without bursting into tears, so there are people who think PMS strikes every woman, and always in the same way.
