Hopefully this will be a regular fixture of friday evenings.
Herewith lies my 1st question:
Which came first -
The calendar month or menstrual cycle?
First off, we know two things for certain.
1. At some point mankind decided to divide time between years, months, weeks, days etc…
This was probably to help with agriculture etc.
Although some months have more days than others and we loose and gain an extra hour every now and then, things are pretty much ordered.
2. The female menstrual cycle predates this division in time. Its part of a nature human regeneration process and happens every month. Although times can vary, its fair to say generally we can estimate within a few days to when a menstrual cycle might happen.
A day has a natural cycle.
24 hours in which the Sun, Moon and Earth rotate. Tides are governed by this and sleep patterns follow night and day which is essential to life.
- This I understand.
BUT - Which came first?
Surly we can't assume that mankind based time and a calendar month conveniently around the menstrual cycle of females?
So, what relevance has a month and the menstrual cycle to each other?
Lets do some maths:
31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 29 = 363 days
Divide by 12 months = 30.25.
So,... give or take a day, WHY does the menstrual cycle happen every 30.25 days.
Why not say for example, every 25 days or 45 days? Why this magic 30.25 days????
weird hu?
No wonder men can't understand females. They're far too complicated.
