    I mean the lunar cycle is roughly 29 days with the argument that it’s 28 if you don’t count the new moon.

    I realize this is a neat thought idea but it I think best demonstrates how easy it is to jump to conclusions.

      Other than tides, why do you need to know when the next full moon is? And can’t you just look at the moon and see how close it is waning to the full moon?

      Not saying the calendar is definitely a woman’s, but wanting to know when you’re going to start leaking blood onto everything near you seems like a good reason to track a period.

        So, since Islam uses the lunar calendar, you’re telling me that the reason why they use it is to track menstruations?

        Good to know they are attentive to their women’s needs

          I’m saying you don’t need to make marks on a bone to track the lunar cycle… you just look up.
