    Why is a woman's

    ...menstrual cycle the same length as the moon's cycle?

    Is there some biological or evolutionary reason for this?

    Yes, it's man's fault.

      A: It's a reflection of womankinds deep connection with the natural world and it's rythms and a reflection of their status as nurturers and life givers.

      B: Because It Does OK!

        It isn't. A lunar month is around 29 days. The human blob cycle is 27-32 days. It's just a coincidence.

        For chimpanzees it's 35 days.

            On the pill?

              Hmmm - you're back are you? Am I allowed to answer this?

                That's unlikely unless you're an adolescent boy in a Hitler Youth uniform.....

                  Only temporarily. Have I upset you somehow?

                    The numbers will never be exactly the same.

                    Anyway, that makes me think it's evolutionary, that there's some advantage to it.

                    Anything to do with cavemen shagging when the moon is at its brightest perhaps?
