It'd be easy to blame the mood and the behavior on her being a woman, but I don't think it is as simple as that. There are plenty of women capable of being level-headed and capable of expressing what they want and why they're upset.

That's why I think this is an issue of skill rather than gender. Assuming she's angry, you've asked why, and she hasn't explained, then she is poor at communication.

I wish women learned earlier how to communicate their needs and desires in a productive manner, without being passive aggressive. It believe it is our unfortunate society which discourages women from learning to communicate. It's a shame too, because women (unfairly) get this stereotype of raging anger and miscommunication, and I don't think it has anything to do with their gender.
