What is patronizing and sexist about that? It is a well documented, physical, medical FACT. I did not say that Jim should rise above it, just that I gave her a bit of a pass.

Then you use the generalization that men of Jim's generation are usually misogynist and sexist? That opinion is ageist ans sexist. I am not much younger than Jim, and I am neither.
Talk about double standards!

Lol. Thanks for giving me the biggest laugh I've had today.

I told you at the time that I thought it was a patronising and insulting comment to make, lol. Just about every woman goes through the menopause and they can still hold down jobs, bring up families and jog along with all kinds of people in the workplace. The type of behaviour being exhibited by Linda is nothing to do with her "hormones".
