If you have been watching ‘Desperate Housewives’ lately you know the character Brea is going through menopause. She is also dating a younger man who wants to have children. Oh the drama!

Talk of Menopause is everywhere on TV. What once was spoken about in hushed tones as the ‘Change’ is now open conversation using the correct term ‘Menopause’. https://health.google.com/health/ref/Menopause
Not all cultures embrace casual conversation about menopause. Not all women want to talk about menopause either. Some women do not want to be thought old enough to be menopausal. Hey what is the alternative?
Millions of women experience menopause daily, can you feel the coolness!

Nice play on words Haralee. The open discussion of menopause may be a reflection of the growing number of women finally in executive positions in the media and in Hollywood. It's well past time for a natural body function and fact of life to be openly discussed, and to stop the hysterical and demeaning portrayals of women before, during and after this transition.
