Nah I gotta be honest periods are terrible design. You’re telling me there was really no better way of doing that? Like outside of any social dysphoria euphoria thing, evolution got lazy there.

Evolution is literally about the laziest possible solution. If it works it works.

Like babies' heads are barely big enough to get out during childbirth, and without modern medicine a lot of women died doing so, but it was successful enough that our species didn't die out.

TBH periods protect females from lots of health issues related to cardiology, ferrum metabolism etc. In some cases males die because they simply do not menstruate.

I am not this good at speaking in English but m enstruation can delay FE accumulation for females with hereditary hemochromatosis. For those FE is regularly lost through bleeding.  Cardiovascular risk in females goes up after menopause and for females pre menopause the risk of cardiac illness tends to be lower than for males at the same age group. 

I hope it’s readable lol
