As you surely know zero gravity has a great influence on human body (bones demineralization, etc). But generaly males do not need gravity to exist. Females need gravity every month to complete ovulation cycle. Of course many females spent a lot of time in space but their ovulation cycles were stopped by different kind of medicines during space missions.

It would be difficult for a woman in space as gravity is a main part of how a menses cycle is achieved. If there was little (or no) gravity then problems would occur as the menstrual products would not be able to be pulled from the body and the stuff would stay inside.
Consequently, the effects of a lack of gravity would eventually lead to many problems on the human body, so it wold be difficult for everyone (not just women) to be out in space for a long period of time.

Does the life expectancy depends on gravity ? What about women who don't have any ovulation cycles? What about men and women in their 60's?

Their menstrual cycles were most likely stopped as a convenience. Women are not dependant on their menstrual cycles for survival.

I think I would be happier out there. No boobs to pull me down, no men to harrass me. It would be happier but maybe not healthy (with the cycle being stuck inside, that's just gross).

O.K. Why was a female astronaut's period stopped? If she would go into space and menstrate would it be a problem?
