because it is trite. In other words, women are tired of being told they're complaining/uncooperative/angry/your pick because they are menstruating OVER AND OVER AND OVER. That's how things get trite, through overuse.

So it isn't the fact that your comment, while utterly predictable (not from you; I don't know you, but you can bet some man was going to post something like it), is tired but that we are tired of that sexist attitude.
