I feel like it would be pretty weird and borderline offensive if I asked men how boners or "blue balls" effect their everyday lives so I can know how to RP men more "realistically," or if I wanted an in-depth discussion about circumcision in Eorzea because I really wanted to know if my character should be circumcised. I can't say I've ever found myself wondering these things when playing a male character.No but the hormones affect the emotional states.. really are you really only reading selected lines you feel like it? Because you're being really daft right now.

Not from their ovaries, I can tell you that much.
I think what's got people up in arms is that this entire thread has read like you were fishing for plausibility because you've already RP'd your character this way. Whenever someone would say that periods are not really likely to have much effect on these things, you chime in and say "yeah, but what if...."
If you accepted their criticism and advice on the topic, it wouldn't have gotten nearly as far as it has.
