Something about "blood coming out of her wherever".
Seriously, just......why?

Centuries ago, they figured out enough they could relate a period with pregnancy, but really didn't understand the hows or whys until science and could advance far enough that a woman wouldn't die while they were trying to figure out the actual way the reproductive system worked.
Isolation of women during their period made sense if a culture believed the male sexual organs could possibly be affected through some sort of infection or poisoning process if a grown man touched a woman bleeding from her sexual organs. But now-a-days, it's just a lingering superstitious practice.
