Given differences in traffic management and public transportation, as well as the availability of toilets in the developing world, on top of the fact that the US is only some 350ish million people, I'm pretty sure my US-based experience of those aspects, never mind the rest of daily living, aren't representative for a billion people.

Question one: do you have a uterus?

[zensavona]

Around 50% of humans have a uterus, what is your point?

[fragmede]

There's this thing that happens to the majority of uterus owners once a month that the other humans don't undergo, so that's an obvious counterpoint to the claim that "all have an extremely close resemblance to the same actions almost everyone else does every single day. "

What percent of a uterus owner's day is spent doing actions related to having a uterus? On a heavy flow day, maybe 10 minutes? Maybe half an hour a month? That's 0.3% of their life, leaving a possible 99.7% overlap in shared similar experiences.

Yup! Just half an hour a month is all it takes to take care of a uterus. Having one definitely doesn't affect mood or cause cramping or headaches or any other related physiological side-effects on any other days. Nor require an annual specialist doctor visit. Nor will any uteruses have a 9-month period of intense activity which will coerce the owner's day to spend an inordinate amount of time doing actions related to having an in-use uterus. And then after that, the body having used the uterus definitely doesn't undergo any other changes that might cause lactation, which is definitely not a laborious process every day for months on end.

Nor are there any society constructs or expectations that cause people with uteruses to be treated differently from those without, especially those that might challenge gender norms that traditionally go along with those physical attributes.

There are no differences in pay, or career expectations; no laws passed anywhere in the world that might legislate either of groups being treated differently.

We definitely don't still segregate humans into different rooms to urinate or defecate.

You heard it here first! Half an hour a month is all it takes! The rest of the time, everything else is totally the same!

My girlfriend and my sister experience pain that fluctuates from mild to severe, for an entire week. Vomiting is also something that can occur. This of course impacts the actions they can perform during this dreadful week. Although I can try to imagine what the pain feels like, I can obviously never fully understand it, because I lack a uterus.
