Neuroscience Research found no evidence to support myth that women’s cognitive abilities change across menstrual cycle. Given physiological changes that occur across menstrual cycle, the changes to the brain are either small enough that they don't influence performance or women compensate for these changes.

In your original comment, swap 'white' for any other race. Swap 'men' for 'women'. Now appraise whether the comment is racist with those new terms in. Geddit? See how that works? There are only two logical options. You are racist and sexist, or you believe that you can't be racist to white people, and you can't be sexist towards men. If my elementary grasp of simple logic has missed a third possibility, please let me know.
