No, it is disrespectful and rude. Deserving of a kick to a highly sensitive and vulnerable area? No, not that rude. However, if you can't see why asking a woman if she's having PMS when she's a bad mood is disrespectful, I have to question your intelligence. It's disrespectful because it assumes that a woman can't possibly have any other reason for being pissed off or sad or any other negative emotion. You're basically saying, "Oh, well, if you were a guy I'd be thinking you had a shitty day at the office, but since you're a woman, it must be because your hormones are out of whack." It does not help matters, especially when the woman in question may have very valid reasons to be angry. I know someone just going, "Oh, you're PMSing," when I am angry over something that's important to me is not going to help my mood or make me any more rational. Basically what you're doing when you 'excuse' a woman's bad moods as PMS is invalidating her. You're saying that her reasons behind her emotions don't matter, because she's just a slave to her hormones. She's not a rational, thinking human being who can choose to be angry over something shitty. She's just 'bitchy' because her hormones are making her that way. Whilst PMS is a medically recognised phenomenon, that doesn't mean it's alright to presume that a woman experiences it. Even if she does, it is even more wrong to assume that any anger she has is attributable to it. I in no way support what the woman in the OP did. I think she needs some serious counseling both for her issues with her ex-boyfriend that would lead her to steal someone's property and dispose of it, and for thinking that being asked a rude question is grounds for assault. Unfortunately for the OP, it's unlikely that she will ever suffer the consequences of assaulting him, because she's a woman and our society is still unfortunately biased against men in that regards. I hope he can get his stuff back, or monetary recompense for the value of the items, at least.

Well to my understanding a question of a medical phenomenon should not be rude or disrespectful! The OP ASKED the question! And if a women is behaving in a strange way i.e.. unprovoked mood swings, then one would naturally come to the conclusion that she is PMSing.

I once told a woman about problems with another woman and that PMS was involved was HER suggestion. Just sayin'.

you are clearly a ****! asking a girl if shes pms when she does something with no valid reason is the perfect time, like what the **** did he do to that bitch to make her throw out his xbox, ******* nothing, this girl is just being ******* mental. Im sorry but when someone does something unprovoked to me i tend to want to know why they did it in the first place so you can go **** yourself i say you and the girl that threw out his xbox go meet up and jump in front of a train together!
