I had this VERY conversation with a doctor two weeks ago. I said I had been losing a lot of hair. She said it was pretty normal for pre-menopausal and menopausal women. And then she said, "But of course, your OBGYN would never have told you that because nobody studies menopause. They were too busy working on their viagra." Never truer words were spoken.
Society has prioritized reproductive potential... menopause is natural end to women's value to society.... why we sell anti-aging products to women. Never thought about these connections before. Very interesting

It's insane and very telling about how the establishment values women
Exactly.

Same reason there's a line at the ladies room... Women aren't part of the equation when decisions about funding or design are being made.
yes!! and yes!
Great take, Catherine.
Thanks Amy!
