Some women do try to go on hormone replacement therapy at the onset of menopause. It seems to be proving to be a problem in and of itself.

Fixed.
Are doctors required to ask if their patients own baseball bats yet?
You’re joking, right? The women I know look upon menopause as a blessed relief from a lifetime of misery. (A bit exaggerated ... but one gets that way after four decades.)
There ya go again, being logical...
Fit in what??? A Mental hospital??
