Just know this is a light hearted post, and not gender related in anyway, but just something I found kinda funny. I never thought I would hear from Apple in a keynote at WWDC of all places, mention women's menstrual cycles. Literally if you told me that in 2001, when I first got into Macs that someone oneday one stage at a WWDC would be talking about periods, and then announcing a new os called iPadOS, i probably would have thought you insane. Now, it's crazy that it ISNT weird really with where Apple has gone, but 2001 me would have thought it was a skit from saturday night live. =)
 
Hey, a lot of things can look different if you revisit them 18 years later! :)
I’m interested to see what Apple will do in another 18 years. :p

I just found it funny in my mind for some reason, just never perceived back then that they would be in a field that includes it. Back then I only was dreaming of a iMac lamp style 30" screen with a G12 processor running in it lol

If only Apple decided to include the Health app on iPadOS and allowed the watch to talk to an iPad, I would kick the phone to the curve in a heartbeat (another thing measured by the watch and the health app).
