In case you are wondering why 'MEN' keeps croping up in regards to WoMENs issues.

The word 'menopause' comes from two Greek words: menos or “month,” and pausis or “cease.”

The word 'menstruation' comes from the Greek menus meaning both moon and power, and men meaning month.  latin = monthly cycle.

The word 'woman' = wombman? Comes from the bible whereas God made Adam then took part of the rib from Adam to make a woman.  So, as far as the bible is concerned we ladies came from a man's womb. In 1970, it was changed due to female rights.
