Ok, maybe this is the indica talking, but... I should run for US President. And my VP and all my cabinet will also be menopausal women. Cranky, put upon, tired of people's shit, just freaking done performing niceness, menopausal women.

And our campaign slogan will be "Just get out of the damn way so we can fix it" and our logo will be an exasperated eye roll. (tagline: I can see you.)

Our campaign will basically be the New Deal, only Newer. And with Tribunals. There must be a reckoning.

Sure, there will be a messy transition as we drag the reprobates to their timeout corners, but these things happen. That's why stain blocking paint was invented.

Vote MissConstrue's Cantankerous Coven: Let's Give Matriarchy a Try

(this is really good indica)

@MissConstrue As a cranky, menopausal woman, I agree, and suggest we roll it out to the UK as well, since we're hell-bent on following the US down whatever path its on. Might as well choose a good road for a change.

@HollieK72 @MissConstrue I'm with you - always been cranky, and still menopausal.

@amokura @MissConstrue Still menopausal, and wondering when on earth it's going to end.
Show threadHollieK6d ago
@amokura @MissConstrue And yes, I know menopause is a year after my last period, so it's at least a year away. Grumble, grumble, grumble.

Oh my gosh, no! Perimenopause can start 10 years before end of menses. And irregular periods at that age don’t mean you’re not potentially fertile. That’s why so many menopause babies!

If you’re suffering from menopause symptoms, you may consider asking your doctor about the bioidentical hormone replacement patch. I didn’t think it would make a difference (in my case post radical hysterectomy), and holy mother of emotional rollercoasters, it’s been amazing. I feel like me again.

@MissConstrue @amokura I've gone through the bad bits, thanks, and I seem to be in the tailing off but not quite stopped yet part, so it's more of an irritation than anything else. But yes, it's likely to be 10 years before I become post-menopausal. I'm in my ninth year of perimenopause at the moment.

@HollieK72 @amokura

They never warned us about this. They should have warned us. I’m warning 30 something’s, like the Johnny Appleseed of menopause. 🤣

@MissConstrue @amokura Yeah, I mean I assumed it would take a year or two, and was appalled that it can go on for so long!
