Do you really believe these things?

(These things they are saying about menopause?)

Do you really believe that in this beautiful, magical, mysterious world, women were made to function for the first part of our lives and then fall apart?

That we were only meant to be beautiful for half our lives?

Do you really believe we were meant to live in deficiency and disease…

… while men are able to carry on as they were?

None of these things make any sense, right?

We still live way longer than they do, right?

I am increasingly wary of anyone who tries to tell us these stories – even innocently.

Even women.

Especially women.

(Because it’s mostly women. There’s no men around who’d dare in 2023, right?)

And those kind of women have done enough damage to us over the years.

This isn’t an us versus them post.

This is an ‘it’s time to stick our fingers in our ears to these messages and go lalalala you make no common sense’ post.
