All the idiots claiming it's the moon and giving more details about women's cycles are missing the point of the quote.
Which is spelled out, but I'll place it here.
The idea that it was a woman is just as valid as it being a man, but man is always assumed.
The accuracy of the claim is not at issue. The assumption is.
Who is responsible though? The historian, or the man who inscribed the bone?
