Tabitha M. Powledge unloads on writer Frank Bures and his Slate post — excerpted from his recent book — about premenstrual syndrome: "He declares that PMS is a 'cultural syndrome,' or 'cultural idiom of distress.' That doesn’t mean, he says, that the physical symptoms are imaginary, only that they are prompted by beliefs and expectations. Well, you can imagine. Nearly 400 comments so far. Quintessential mansplaining, as several commenters of the other sex have noted."
