They cannot get back to sleep. They have bouts of dizziness. At random moments, their hearts pound. Their joints hurt \u2014 not ache, but hurt. No amount of daily hydration stops the headaches that appear out of nowhere. The skin on their penises is so raw that even sitting down is painful; sex is out of the question. Also, sometimes they have stabbing pains in their crotches.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/?p=417\">\u201cIt\u2019s true, I am\u201d: Mamdani reacts to viral \u201cMy mayor\u2019s Muslim\u201d chant after Knicks win NBA title<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>If even a high-profile billionaire global philanthropist is in the dark, what does that mean for the billions of women with less than a fraction of her resources?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Their workouts and healthy-eating regimens are no longer sufficient. They\u2019re gaining weight and losing muscle mass. They have bloating, heartburn and other digestive issues. Their hair falls out. Their gums bleed. Their skin feels tight and itchy. There are days when they feel mild electric shocks when turning their heads. They\u2019re irritable with their loved ones, can\u2019t concentrate, and can\u2019t seem to keep thoughts in their heads. They have panic attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Not all men have these symptoms, or have them all at once. But they all have some of them, and it\u2019s messing up their lives and their jobs and their marriages. They tell this to their GP, who shrugs and says, \u201cMany men have trouble with this transition. Try not to worry too much; it\u2019s a natural phase of life,\u201d and then asks if they\u2019ve tried meditation.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds bad, right? Of course, it would never actually go like that. Men would report the painful joints and the crotch stabbing and the doctor would be like, <em>say no more, chief. We\u2019ll get this figured out ASAP<\/em>. The millions of women who actually experience these symptoms in perimenopause aren\u2019t so lucky, though. Roughly one in four can access treatment, and that often takes finding a doctor who, first, recognizes the symptoms as part of perimenopause and, second, takes it seriously.<\/p>\n<p>Even the wealthiest, health-savviest women with no systemic barriers to care face this void of information, as Melinda French Gates wrote in a June 4 guest opinion column in The New York Times titled \u201cWomen, we deserve better than this.\u201d \u201cWhen I first noticed signs I was starting menopause, it fell to me to raise the topic with my doctor and push for options to manage my symptoms,\u201d she writes. \u201cEven though I have access to excellent health care, and have spent the past 25 years as a women\u2019s health advocate, there was a lot I simply didn\u2019t know.\u201d If even a high-profile billionaire global philanthropist is in the dark, what does that mean for the billions of women with less than a fraction of her resources?<\/p>\n<p>The $215 million dollars French Gates recently announced she was donating to women\u2019s-health causes includes her first significant investment in funding for menopause research. In the vastly underfunded space of women\u2019s healthcare, which captures less than 6% of private investment, almost 90% of capital goes toward funding initiatives for reproductive health, maternal care and cancers that primarily affect women. Meanwhile, global policy initiatives on aging like the United Nations\u2019 Decade of Healthy Ageing overlook menopause entirely. Her conclusion: \u201cWe need a menopause revolution in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s not the only woman calling for one; doctors, researchers, and advocates regularly use this term to describe the paradigm shift necessary to ensure fewer women suffer. Oprah Winfrey titled her 2025 TV special featuring Halle Berry and Naomi Watts \u201cThe Menopause Revolution.\u201d Numerous books on perimenopause and menopause have some version of the phrase as its title. Physician Kate Muir, author of \u201cHow To Have a Magnificent Midlife Crisis,\u201d writes on her Substack that, with one billion women currently somewhere in perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause, \u201cwe need a cultural and health revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re all correct, with one important caveat: Before there can be a revolution, there has to be a reckoning: not only with how little we know about perimenopause and menopause but with why. French Gates references living in a time \u201cwhen women\u2019s rights are under attack\u201d and where women themselves are \u201ctreated as an afterthought,\u201d but never mentions sexism, or gendered ageism, or medical misogyny. Without naming the disregard and even contempt for women who continue to exist once their reproductive years have passed, can the revolution any of these women want happen?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerimenopause made me realize how much sexism and ageism women internalize, including women who aren\u2019t straight,\u201d says Bryn, 49, who says she was terrified to broach the subject with her partner, who is 8 years younger. \u201cMy view of myself as sexual and active and up for whatever changed so fast, and all I could think of was, <em>What if I\u2019m done?<\/em>\u201d Leah, 54, remembers bringing up the subject of menopause to her mother and aunts, to their horror. \u201cHuge faux pas,\u201d she says. \u201cFor my mother, me acknowledging menopause was like writing <em>I no longer have value to men<\/em> across my forehead.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Before there can be a revolution, there has to be a reckoning: not only with how little we know about perimenopause and menopause but with why.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/?p=415\">\u201cLet\u2019s throw out the Constitution\u201d: Mullin shares DHS plans ahead of midterms<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The various medical terms used over the course of women\u2019s reproductive lives haven\u2019t done much to make menopause sound less depressing. Diagnostic terms like \u201covarian failure,\u201d\u00a0 \u201cvaginal atrophy\u201d and \u201csenile vagina\u201d paint a picture of the menopausal woman as a crumbling, useless vessel. But the terminology has seen some refreshing in recent years, with the blanket term \u201cgenitourinary syndrome\u201d now encompassing a range of challenges to physical, urinary, and sexual function.<\/p>\n<p>So the needle can move. In the 2010s, conversations about women, chronic illness, and the pain gap reached critical mass. A combination of medical research and cultural impact, including celebrities like Selena Gomez and Lady Gaga disclosing their conditions, trained a spotlight on these discussions, made the topic sticky, kept it alive in the news cycle.<\/p>\n<p>In a 2024 interview, Dr. Elizabeth Comen, a breast-cancer oncologist and author of \u201cAll In Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Told Us About Women\u2019s Bodies and Why It Matters Today,\u201d pointed out that unraveling medicine\u2019s treatment of women as smaller, defective men requires time and effort. For a long time, she said, \u201cThe idea of women\u2019s health was really just gynecology in my mind. I was a product of the reductionist thinking that I\u2019m trying to fight against now \u2014 that we\u2019re not just \u2018our boobs and our tubes.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And the reduction of women to their reproductive organs has made seeing the full picture of menopause difficult. \u201cThe word menopause has never been used in a cardiology textbook, ever,\u201d said cardiologist Dr. Jayne Morgan on a recent episode of the podcast Menopunks. Identifying her own perimenopause symptoms, she recalls, was a medical guessing game. She reported her vertigo to a neurologist, described her joint pain to a rheumatologist, complained of bloating to her primary-care physician. They all had guesses: maybe arthritis, maybe lactose intolerance, maybe stress. \u201cNot a single person used the word \u2018perimenopause,\u2019\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m still seeing my OB-GYN for my regular visits; they\u2019re not bringing it up. Nobody ever said, \u2018Did you know you\u2019re about to have 50 or 60 different symptoms?\u2019 You\u2019re doing this reset on your life, like <em>I guess this is just how I have to live now<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>A menopause reckoning requires a range of perspectives, a spectrum of platforms, and, perhaps most important, a willingness to be uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Along with medical misogyny, decades of misinformation and disinformation about the safety of hormone therapy in perimenopause have constructed a cone of silence among both women and doctors. Many doctors still default to an anti-HRT position, usually mentioning the cancer risks of estrogen replacement but not the long-term risks of estrogen loss, which also include cancer as well as heart disease, osteoporosis and suicide. (In the United States, women 45\u201354 have the highest risk of suicide across age groups.)<\/p>\n<p>A menopause reckoning requires a range of perspectives, a spectrum of platforms, and, perhaps most important, a willingness to be uncomfortable \u2014 both with practical details and with the indictment of institutional sexism and ageism. \u201cPeople have shut down when I talk about menopause as a taboo,\u201d says Leah. \u201cIt\u2019s not just that they\u2019re like, <em>Ugh, why are you telling me about dried-up old women?<\/em> They feel like I\u2019m holding them personally responsible for something that\u2019s cultural. And that\u2019s why I feel like I have to keep talking about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Menopunks creator Alicia J. Rose, the reckoning requires an easily accessible pipeline of information; she reports that Planned Parenthood of Columbia-Willamette recently came on board to sponsor the podcast: \u201cThey got in touch with us and were like, \u2018Did you know that Planned Parenthood nationally offers midlife care?\u2019 I was like, \u2018You prescribe HRT?\u2019 They\u2019re like, \u2018Of course!\u2019 Did you know that? I didn\u2019t!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The reckoning requires more women like Melinda French Gates talking about why it took their own struggles getting information and resources to open their eyes to the problem of silence and shame; it involves the investment of more than one wealthy woman. It requires as many stories as statistics to draw attention to how debilitating menopause is for some women, something that Rachel Brosnahan of \u201cThe Marvelous Mrs. Maisel\u201d is addressing with her directorial debut, a documentary about one such woman \u2014 her aunt, the late fashion designer Kate Spade.<\/p>\n<p>Gloria Steinem famously said that if men could give birth, abortion would be a sacrament. And if men experienced perimenopause, even a few years in which no specialized clinics were built, no public-service announcements were plastered on buses, and no medical residents were properly trained would be considered a grave injustice. Without confronting that, even the biggest investments in women\u2019s midlife care won\u2019t lead to systemic change. The women speaking up for a new approach to menopause aren\u2019t blowing smoke. But without asking why women are abandoned when they\u2019re no longer the source of boners and babies, they can\u2019t ignite the revolution we need.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationacrossamerica.com\/?p=413\">Christian right calls James Talarico \u201cdemonic\u201d \u2014 for quoting Jesus<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melinda French Gates wants &#8220;a menopause revolution&#8221; \u2014 but can&#8217;t name the real problem<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":418,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[683,4,684,685,686,687,688,689],"class_list":["post-419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","tag-cardiology","tag-commentary","tag-gender-disparities-in-medicine","tag-institutional-sexism","tag-melinda-gates","tag-menopause","tag-oprah","tag-perimenopause"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Is Melinda French Gates menopause\u2019s fairy godmother?
