Don't mean to bah-humbug you, Atariel, but it usually helps if you read the entire thread before posting a long, drawn-out comment, even if you spot something that you are dying to address right away. Perhaps if you had, you would have remembered that the menstrual cycle doesn't affect all women in the same way: female athletes deal with it, for example, as do the women in the military. Perhaps its silly to compare our modern world with that of Middle Earth in that fashion (ME certainly didn't have Midol, although the medicines of the Elves could conceivably take care of that anyway), but then again, it's a made-up world you're talking about here. Anything is possible as long as the author can imagine it, and make it so it makes sense.
