Why did God let woman have periods?

I am a young woman and have struggled to accept just how God made the woman's body. Every time I have my period i feel utterly hummiliated and condemmed. I understand that Eve took the fruit and therefore all woman will have pain in childbirth, but why punish us every month? Is there anything more humiliating than leaking fluid!! I know it sounds so petty and silly, but i just struggle with the thought that woman are unclean, and that men are just fine all the time. I love God and I really don't want to question Him, but I just feel so second class to men! Why would God do that to us?
