Post apocalyptic society would probably bring about no periods due to starvation in many women.
The jacket could have been her fathers when he was a teenager or child.
And most important of all in a long term survival situation is to ensure you can keep some form of normality and comfort. A morning routine is great for this.
- You only get periods if you eat? Til.
  
  Well... After a while, definitely

  This is because your body weight can get too low to sustain a pregnancy. So to protect the body, the reproductive system “shuts down” because it's severely malnourished.

  The women described in op's post are usually far from severely malnourished. They're more often than not athletic and strong.
  
  Extra muscle and low body fat do the same thing.
  Any changes in normal hormone levels can lead to menstrual dysfunction, especially in athletes. This can be caused by overtraining, stress, dieting and weight loss. Typically, menstrual dysfunction occurs when the amount of energy used by athletes exceeds the amount of energy taken in through nutrition

  TIL women who are straved have no period. So maybe thier onto something with that.
- Women from postapo movies don't usually look or act no-period starved. Morning routine is nice, but you certainly wouldn't keep up with everything pre-apo even if you had the resources and time. You can make up apologies for almost anything in movies. That doesn't make these things look less ridiculous in general.
  
  Yeah, but i wouldn't take anything i say to seriously.
