I'm 57 years old and last week I joined a Menopause Support Group on Facebook, basically to ask a few questions about certain cervical issues prior to attending an appointment with my OB-GYN in a few weeks for my annual check-up.
First of all, joining this group was like joining an 18th Century Scottish secret society with a bunch of questions to answer prior to getting approval. After I was approved, I searched for my topic and scrolled down the page to read some posts/comments.
Imagine my surprise (why would I be surprised by anything at this point?) when I came across several comments about President Trump and how he is increasing the anxiety levels and blood pressure of some of these women. One said that she's never been so stressed out in her 60 years like she's been since 2016 after Trump won; another said that Trump has interfered in her marriage because her husband leans MAGA and she does not, therefore, they're not having sex; another said that her hot flashes are more common these days because of the thought that Trump might succeed in getting the 2024 nomination. Others replied and stated that they have lost patience with their family and friends because they haven't been able to deal with Trump still being in the spotlight.
But the golden nugget of it all was a post by a woman who said that she's been dating a married man for 5 years and that she's tired of waiting for him to divorce his wife of 20+ years to marry her. She indicated that Trump was to blame because everything changed during the COVID area - they weren't able to see each other much - and he got closer to his wife. I commented: "Why would he buy the cow when he can get the milk for free? Also, this isn't about menopause, it's about your low self-esteem!" and she went on a rampage, deleted her entire post, and blocked me. (And I was being nice!)
So now I've seen everything -- women in perimenopause (pre-menopause) and postmenopause blaming Trump for their hormones being out of whack, hot flashes, powder-keg attitudes and all that fun stuff that menopause entails. I cannot wait for Election Day 2024 when he wins again. It's going to be a [HOT FLASH] BLAST!

Hiroshima and Nagasaki will have nothing on the collective explosion of that coven of meno females

Rush would call them “National Association of Gals”
...the NAGS
Yep.LOL
Me Too

Just about all women are mentally unstable at best and insane on average.
...which is why the 19th should be repealed...
Harpies is more like it. Maybe vultures.
“Trump did not make her wait over five years for a married man to “finally” leave his wife “
Did she know that the MANDATORY lockdowns were NOT by Trump? If the fornicating man CHOSE to lock down with his wife instead of with the fornicating woman, that ain’t Trump’s fault.
Be on the lookout for loose screws wen dealing with women.
The name “Menopause Support Group” should be a bright, blinking neon sign saying “If you want irrational and hysteria, come here!”
Who knows? Perhaps Midol will be shown (by "experts" or "studies" of course) to be an effective cure for ED ...
Two of those three Venn diagrams would overlap 100%
A wag on another forum coined the term MAWWS for them and their rage.
Middle Age White Woman Syndrome
Not hillary, pelosi, or kamala?
What a waste of a support group when there probably are a fair amount of normal, grounded women who never particularly had hormonal issues with PMS or postpartum depression and then surprisingly find themselves feeling “wacky” at menopause.
I hope you find a better group.
Menopause can be weird for people. I’ve known women who actually went in the other direction— they and others around them reported they seemed to even out mood-wise and felt more sane and clear headed. Some reported never having had a hot flash.
There is:

Another danger of a Biden impeachment/impairment/death...would we want a Harris undergoing menopausal craziness with her hand on the nuclear button?
I unfollowed them after 5 days. Every time something popped up on my newsfeed related to the group, it was doom & gloom and more drama than a Mexican telenovela at high noon.
I just read your comment to my husband and he's literally on the floor laughing. Thank you!
I almost threw up a little. That sounds disgusting, but I've also seen wines in two gross flavors: "Fresh Cut Grass" and "Bear Bile".
