Quests typically take more than one month, and everyone knows what comes once a month. Try having that and trampling through the wilderness with nine men. No thank you!

Female athletes manage to compete in the Olympics, no matter what time of the month it is, to give an example. Women are tougher than you think, why do you think that we are the ones who carry and give birth to children?
Not that Tolkien would give a hoot about any of this, of course.
