Apparently, it is based on the very ancient idea that female period blood is in some sense a magical substance—so one can fashion a “Red Pill” out of it using sympathetic magick, and thus acquire some sort of occult or arcane knowledge which is normally exclusive to women and disallowed to men.
Well, you can find a lot of magickal or Neopagan symbolism in The Matrix if you know how to look for it. The word “matrix” itself means “something motherly” in Latin, and its use in the movie could be viewed as a reference to the Great Mother Goddess. (More specifically, the Great Mother is actually one archetype of the feminine Great Goddess of Neopaganism.)
