Spare us from the Menopausal Militants!

Another day and another celeb is moaning about her menopause. Earlier this week, TV presenter Andrea McLean suggested a campaign to highlight the misery of the ‘change of life’ by encouraging women to wear ‘M’ badges to alert the public. When she is in a railway carriage and wants to open the window because she is having a hot flush, wearing a ‘M’ badge will mean men will ‘cut some slack’. But what about those people in the carriage who might have a cold or poor circulation and are not wearing badges explaining this, who would prefer to stay warm? No matter! The militant Menopausers are on a roll and their sufferings outweigh all others!

The honest truth is that the majority of women get through through the menopause with very few symptoms, and yet some of these menopausers carry on like they have had all their limbs cut off and a lobotomy thrown in.
