[Menopause is the time that marks the end
of your menstrual cycles.
It's diagnosed after you've gone 12 months
without a menstrual period.
Menopause can happen in your 40s or 50s,
but the average age is 51 in the United States.
Menopause is a natural biological process.

It has been in Parliament
But the Conservatives are saying Suck It Up.

Hopefully this will cover the men who go through the menopause?

You jest LT but there is a male version (it has nowhere near the same effects, to be clear, I'm not equating them) but there is a fairly major drop off in natural testosterone levels in the 50's for men which has some effects (loss of libido, fatigue, loss of some physical strength etc.), in the same way that falling oestrogen levels cause menopause for women.

I was telling you about it earlier and how it might make you a nicer boy and better partner r'member.

Would it not make more sense to have posted that in the thread title/opening post instead of leaving people confused for the sake of click-bait?

I think its a difficult one as the menopause is not a quick transition it can take anything from 7 to 10 years to come out the other side so not sure how leave would help?

Yeah I was thinking the same. What would be helpful is more education and good medical advise/help on it. It's not talked about to girls and women nearly enough
