I think you missed Julia's point.  What she was saying was that men have
cycles too, but that men are less able to "predict" their cycles than
women are.  I'm inclined to agree with her on this.  There are definitely
times when I do have an "off day" several days running, or hit a "low
period" or a "dry spell".  I think that the "science" of bio-rhythms is
based on the fact that people have some sorts of cycles to their lives.
A woman is probably more aware of the cycles affecting her because of
the fact that (at least) one of those cycles is physical.
