Look, your quibble isn't with me; it's with the biologists and the terms they've chosen to use for the different (and they are different) physiological phenomena. I'm using their terms here, in the ways they've defined them.

If you're utterly convinced that estrous and menstruation are the same, on the basis of some blood-like discharge occurring in both, then you might want to explore a career in academia. I'm sure there's a journal somewhere that would take your well-reasoned and compelling thesis on the subject. (You might need to pay them for the privilege, but as assiduously as you're defending your position here, that doesn't seem too unreasonable.)

You've completely missed my point.
