The sentence-final particle もん is mainly used to explain the reason of the speaker's words/actions/feelings or to make excuses.
なんで昨日来なかったの?(Nande kinou konakatta no?)
Why didn't you come yesterday?
頭が痛かったんだもん。(Atama ga itakattanda mon.)
Because I had a headache.
While もの is basically used only by female, もん can be used by both male and female. Some forms might sound feminine(e.g. なんだもん,) though.
hope this helps
