Most people, men and women, are a little crazy. That is to expected in this crazy world. Women are generally less rational and more emotional and often need a stable man to 'ground' them, but you can reason with most of them. Maybe not in the logical/rational sense that you can with men, but I wouldn't want them to.
However, I found that masculine women prefer weak/feminine men, and feminine women favour strong/masculine men, so I rarely had to deal with these 'butch' women.
I think feminine women often enjoy masculine men who can 'ground' them due to the cyclical part of female biology destabilising even the most stable of women.
I don't think their hormone cycle is the cause of their current mental issues. I think that this 'bipolarity' started during the Industrial Revolution and especially when women were encouraged to enter the male domain of 'employment'.
First they could still be feminine behind their typewriters, but when society changed and women started doing 'masculine' factory work (during WW2, when there factory workers had to go to war), that the lines between masculine and feminine started to blur and caused mental issues. Especially when the men who returned from war now had to compete for work with women.

And that started snowballing into our current society, where
people get more and more confused about 'gender roles'. Not only women changed and adopted more masculine traits, but this also happened with men who changed and adopted more feminine traits.
So, today, more (if not most) people in the Western world have mental issues.
Issues, though. Not
Disorders.
When someone has Borderline Personality
Disorder, they can barely function in society, they are harmful to themselves and others, and extremely prone to dying from suicide or extreme risk taking.
True BPD patients are also quite rare (less than 3 people in a 100), so chances of ending up in a relationship with a BPD woman is not that common.
I don't have a problem with men ascribing borderline traits to women. However, from what I hear from women, they also encounter dark triad traits in virtually every man they meet. Of course, as a heterosexual male, you don't date men, so why would you notice male mental issues? So, it's likely that both men and women have traits from the Dark Triad Personality Disorders in varying degrees of severity.
Since Dark Triad people tend to relish power/dominance in relationship dynamics, there is pretty much always a 'severity gap' where the person with the higher severity of Dark Triad traits is the perpetrator and the one with fewer or less severe Dark Triad traits is the victim. These negative behaviours often cause the collapse of relationships, so a lot of angry 'victims' will claim their ex is BPD or a Psychopath or NPD, whereas I'm convinced that it's merely the dark triad traits they have in a higher degree of severity than their 'victims'.
It's like drivers calling every driver driving faster a 'maniac' and every driver driving slower than them 'idiots'.
I guess I tend to be more introspective than most men, so I looked critically at when and why I attracted women who were high on the Dark Triad scale, when I realised that I have a lot of Dark Triad traits myself. And when I was young, I exuded the 'danger' that excited and attracted Dark Triad women like crazy.
When I started to cope and manage my Dark Triad traits during my twenties, I gradually decreased exuding those traits and stopped attracting those type of women. As I mentioned before, I still dated women with some traits but way less severe as ones I previously dated. Some certainly had mental issues, but not more than the general population.
I think that you attract what resonates with you; like some men desire a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, but what they get is a Dark Triad girl and you don't get to choose the severity of their mental issues.
