Menstuation is tied to the lunar cycle. How interesting!

I thought I read up on that before and just forgot, but apparently I didn't because all sources I find say it's bollocks (But, I mean, the whole name basically comes from moon!): https://helloclue.com/articles/cycle-a-z/myth-moon-phases-menstruation

On the other hand, human menstruation cycle being around same as the Moon cycle WOULD make some more sense, because having consciousness & reasoning ability, human women could then use moon phase to determine when they were most likely to get pregnant both to ensure best offspring & try to time it so resources were available.

Fun fact: The menstrual synchronization of close together women often cited most likely doesn't exist, either, but people love to look for patterns anywhere they can.
