Womenses

Menses
Menstruation
Menopause

Doesn't it strike you as odd that these particularly womanly events all start with the word "men"?
Shouldn't they be womenses, womenstruation and womenopause?

And then there's "hymen".
It's like a bad joke - the thin membrane of our innocence saying, "Hi, men!"
