Sorry, are you implying that women menstruate on a full moon? I'm not sure what "onset of menses" is implying otherwise.
- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 2y agoJust to head it off in case GP or anyone else wonders - menstrual cycles don't actually synchronize. When people see them sync it's probably just the birthday paradox
- brnaftr361 2y agoThe article states that some women synchronize with moon cycles and even professes skeptical speculation that premodern women may have been explicitly attuned. Just putting two and two together. I know I'd be irritable if I had to deal with that kind of pain and the various other symptoms with it - certainly not trying to point blame, after all most of the "trouble" was always trivial. And it may not be my cohort directly, but various other people. It's not hard to imagine knock on effects. Though I wouldn't discount that causality may lie elsewhere if not outright bias. More curtly, yes, I'm not implying but outright stating on the basis of the article.
- SketchySeaBeast 2y agoThe article is referencing a paper that says that sometimes women's cycles synced with lunar luminosity. They were looking at women whose cycles weren't 28 days over decades. I have my doubts.
