[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The mood changes (particularly sad, rage, and distracted)/weight gain/insomnia we hard but bottom line this is what was hard: it wasn’t talked about until recently. If it was men it would be talked about all the time (Remember that Cosby Show episode that imagined all the men pregnant? Like that.) Our mothers and grandmothers were just made fun of and given side eye. And this is what’s still hard - people like Vance still say just have the “post menopausal” women watch the children. So the not talking about it and being othered is what’s hard. [/quote] Actually men don’t like to talk about health issues at all. If men had menopause it would be a joke instead of stigmatized though. A key element of masculinity is not complaining and pushing through, for better or for worse. [/quote] Except for colds.[/quote]
