Imagine believing that an ancient society of men that tracked time by lunar cycles so that they could predict when women would sluff off their uterine lining meant that your bloody discharge connected you to the tides.
Premodern women rarely had periods, definitely not one per month.
Breastfeeding suppresses menstruation, and children used to breastfeed until they were 4-5 years old. Famine and malnutrition also suppress periods. A few centuries ago the average French woman had her first period at age 18. Women who over-exercise (gymnasts) or who go on fad diets (such as raw veganism) don't have periods.
My wife (because of breastfeeding and pregnancy) went about five years without a period.
I don't understand, five years? Please convert this to lunar cycles.
Yeah, I bet a chick whose main pronoun aligns with an antipsychotic for people who see shit that isn’t there.
The funniest part about this line of logic is that this would mean menopause is the moon and ocean collectively agreeing: "I've had enough of your shit, you're cut off."
