Why wouldn't a male have figured out a lunar cycle and tried to track the moon? Not that the female explanation is lesser in any regard, but why exclude all possibilities?

    As a man living with three menstruating women I learned very quickly how to count to 28 on three different cycles.

    Menstruation sucks and anything I can do to make their lives easier makes my life easier.

    But that’s because I’m the man: The man with a good attitude towards menstruation

    It could be both.

    A few weeks ago I blew my wife’s mind after she commented that both her and her best friend had started their period and I responded with ‘well, it is a full moon.’

    She thought I was being ’boomer humor’ sexist until I brought up the studies about it. (Which are not 100% conclusive, mind you, but there are trends.)
