Very interesting answer from Suzanne Sadedin. Very odd that "Arush Kakkar, Founder, CorsecoTech", who appears to neither be a physician, nor a medical science expert, nor a woman, is the highest displayed answer for me, with a strained analogy relating women's bodies to software, which is based on Suzanne's answer. I don't know if this is because of user voting, his score, or the Quora algorithm. I wonder if the mysteries of this ranking system are what lies behind the Quora login wall.

Sadedin's post has over 20k upvotes, but that guy has 81. Definitely not because of user voting.

It's fallen to #2 now. I would bet it's recency bias; that guy is probably there from this Hacker News link, made a follow-up answer, and because Quora (like HN and many forums) tends to put new replies at the top to give them a chance & see how they do with voting, it momentarily showed up as the top answer.

His answer is kinda crap, to boot. Menopause isn't triggered by the number of menstrual cycles, but by age.

How do you know that? It is and a cop out answer because age is not a mechanism. Specifics please?

Isn't it sexist to think that women would know more about the scientific reasons they menstruate than men? At least that's what your answer is implying...
