"It's just a thing that some bodies do" minimizes the effect of it on many of those bodies. Even easy periods take management. As females we DO need to arrange our lives around it one way or another. Even in these days of absorbent panties and menstrual cups and half decent pain killers, we still need to be prepared. Unless we're suppressing menstruation - which we can't do merely by thinking about it, we need medications, and means to get them - or pregnant - a whole new set of things to think about - our menstrual cycle is a core element of our lives for a large part of it.

And minimizes it's importance. If "some bodies" didn't "just do" this "thing" the human race would be extinct
