Not saying it was the case here, and no doubt some will find this advice sexist somehow, but ladies you need to stay out of the ocean when it’s that time of the month. I’m not joking.
I was thinking along the same lines. You phrased the advice a bit more delicately than I would have.
I don’t believe that is sexist...I recall that may be standard sound advice in diving circles, though I could be wrong.
I don’t see where that’s sexist at all, just good advice and good common sense.

She got caught in a “feeding frenzy”. The predators (including sharks) will push a school of bait fish into shallow water and slaughter them. It’s an awesome display of mother nature but deadly when sharks are involved.
I read also that it makes bottle-nose dolphins aggressively amorous. Not joking either.

Never, ever, ever, EVER go out in the water when on your menstrual cycle or anywhere a wild animal can pick up your scent.
I did a lot of what I would call stupid things while growing up; never wanted to actually risk my life, however, and dearly headed that bit of instruction.
