I believe humanity is still very naive about our own brain, hormones and pheromones affect wildly understudied.

I am convinced every person regardless of sex have cycles running all the time, its just usually a lot more subtle and blended in with everything else affecting us.

There might even be an argument that female menstruation is only so pronounced because there was an evolutionary benefit to having a basic understanding of reproductive patterns.

This makes it seem like Tom Paris did park in the right place but did not come to a full stop and continued to “skid” in time.

I like it.
