There has been a stigma at times especially in the past about woman and their menstrual cycle. When we understand that in times past it was harder to keep blood from getting to other places it can be understood. The two things, first, I will point out here is God said that a person (man or woman) with a discharge of any kind was unclean. They were not considered sinners or to be cut off from the nation of Israel. Second, God starts this discussion by speaking to the men and that there is no "special condemnation" for women. As far as the offering for women every month, an offering was required for anyone who had any type of bodily discharge and always when it involved blood.
Side note: Since most women were part of a male-dominated family, guess who ultimately had to pay for the sacrifices, the guys.
