Um, this shows a pretty profound lack of understanding for the
nature of menStruation. It's when the female body sheds the
uterine lining and an egg because the egg didn't get fertilized
that month. Menstruation is the point in the woman's cycle when
she is at her least fertile. An animal's "heat" is when she is at
her most fertile. There's a bit about this in the summary I mentioned
in another post on this thread.
