To be perfectly honest, I'm still having trouble figuring out how a majority 
of viewers decide with 100% ease that this rather opaque line about some 
woman or women who doesn't or don't bleed necessarily means that Rei wasn't 
discovering brown spots on her panties at the appropriate time. Is this some 
kind of memetic interpretation, or does the conclusion really draw itself 
*that* intuitively from Rei's monologue? (How much of Rei's monologue 
actually makes intuitive and contextual sense, while we're at it...?)
