@evacide @CStamp that’s a fair assumption but it does segue nicely into a little story about the oldest calendar found by archaeologists which is basically 28 notches in a bit of wood. Historians (mostly men) assumed it was associated with some sort of moon worship however there is another reason why some primitive humans may have wanted to track a 28 day cycle @Sim0n @evacide "a new study found only 13 percent of women have a 28-day cycle" and many don't even have regular X number of days. https://www.healthline.com/health-news/forget-28-day-cycle-womens-fertility-is-complicated Male historians have been making a lot of assumptions based on their lack of understanding and pre-concieved biases, such as now we are learning that those women who were buried with hunting gear actually were hunters. @Sim0n @evacide @CStamp@mastodon.social That's using a stick, not the moon. Also, stick to subjects you know something about. |
@CStamp @Sim0n I suspect that Simon has never had to keep track of his period.
