Are you kidding?

In case you're not, because the lunar cycle is exactly the same length. (Well, for a given definition. Certainly to any noticeable extent.) No matter where you are. For hundreds of years. Exactly the same length. Whereas quite a lot of women don't even have regular cycles. Of those who do (admittedly the majority), very few have cycles that are the same length as that of the Moon, so they're shifting along the lunar cycle all the time. The average woman, in fact, has a cycle that's about a day shorter than that of the Moon, so that means it only takes a little over a year for it to go from synchronizing with the full Moon to synchronizing with the new Moon.

If you're imposing your own beliefs on a thing, you don't have an open mind, whether it's because you believe in the thing or because you don't.
