<< Various people suggest that Gloranthan women ought to be "tide-locked" to assorted celestological bodies and/or calendar features, and beat each other over the head as to which it should be. >>
I for one didn't think I was beating anyone over the head :-) and I certainly wasn't suggesting that menses were actually linked to Tolat/Shargash, merely that this was an obvious association to make. It seems likely there is a Gloranthan myth to explain why women menstruate, and all I'm suggesting is that Tolat and/or Shargash ought to feature heavily in such a myth. As soon as I manage to get hold of Enclosure and/or GRoY I'll probably have a stab at writing one. I haven't so far because I don't feel I know enough about either of these deities to have a go.
Forward the glorious Red Army!
