> The way she would notice it "sooner or later" is by her bleeding on her clothes and possibly even furniture.

No, many can feel it beforehand, and you notice it when you go to the bathroom before as well, as certain things change their properties slightly, it's not a "nothing" phase and then "floods out of your body".

It's borderline parody how little education there is for males when it comes to things like this.

I am a woman in case you did not pick up on that.

You seem to forget that there is about a third of the day when shockingly enough a person is not conscious to feel blood leaking out of them. I mentioned staining furniture for a reason - I promise you that menstruation does not wait for you to wake up to start.

Great! Thanks for sharing your perspective, I'm sure it is the truth in your context and from your perspective, just as me telling you about my wife's perspective is true in our context, nor everyone in life experiences everything the same way, this is fine.

I appreciate that you've educated yourself about these issues, but let me assure you from decades of personal experience and conversations with other women that it is useful to be notified when your period is going to start.

More "experienced" it than anything, everyone is different of course which is why I'm not saying that everyone needs/don't need it. Thank you but no need for any assurances, my partner lives with me and shares her experience and thoughts about it freely, and I'll continue to listen to what she says she needs/doesn't need :)

Hm. Well, congratulations on being the first man to mansplain menstruation to me. Somebody already knocked out breastfeeding years ago. Pregnancy is still up for grabs, if any men out there want to take a whack at telling me what that's like.

I'm not even explaining anything, just telling you there are other perspectives out there, and sharing my partner's perspective. No need to try to paint yourself as a victim here, and I'm sorry if you took it as "This is how you feel according to me", I was just trying to explain another persons perspective.
