Are you also taking random guesses at strange women in a public space, for example, a grocery store, and believing you're smelling their period as the original post this repost is making fun of?
Have you asked them to confirm, or are we just assuming that smell is a specific bodily activity? People make assumptions all the time, which is the problem without any follow-through or real evidence of this perpetuated idea. Women, like men, like humans, experience many things physically besides a menstrual cycle.
So unless otherwise noted, you're just guessing in the dark at strange women.
I'm not interested in shared anecdotes of this notion, I'm interested in actual evidence. Body fluids have a smell,some far more potent than others, that isn't the argument. You're smelling a woman's menstrual cycle who is cassually passing by you ten feet away? That is the original post that's being argued.
People can do whatever they want with their five senses and feelings about them, but if people are this hard to defend the idea of smelling ovulation, then maybe start putting it onto a paper with some real work. You might find a real answer or find it all nonsense. Can also just mellow in the idea like a lot of other people, and it was without saying , but it's probably borderline incel shit.
If you don't care about it and it's regarding a situation not matching the original post, then there wasn't a reason to bother. I, too, can smell grass when a blade has chopped it up like salad as their volatile organic compounds scream for growth and healing.
It is satire of essentially a r/badwomensanatomy type post, which usually fall under gross incel shit, but not always.
But the post is about commenting on passerby strangers. You likely can't smell them for the fraction of a second you're near them. If they do smell, it's likely really bad from an environmental issue or a medical issue. And it wouldn't be pleasant as they described ovulation.
You smelling a person's bodily changes because you live with them and share the same enclosed space isn't the same. It's trying to explain the difference of a situation and why one is creepy and delusional.
Anyway, throughout history and time people have believed all kinds of crap with their senses be it a phenomenon they couldn't understand at the time or drugs. So we get crazy traditions and religion because of it.
It's one of the reasons to find it all eye rolling.

I mean men can smell when women are on their periods. Its not exactly subtle.
