At 67, Hillary Clinton is now a “woman of a certain age.” So much emphasis and worry are put on physical aging in women that the emotional maturity and freedom that can come at this time are given short shrift. That robs everyone of a great natural resource. As women of a certain age, it is our time to lead. The new standard for aging women should be about vitality, strength, and assertiveness.
One of the largest demographics in America is women in their forties to sixties, and by 2020 there will be nearly 60 million peri- and post-menopausal women living in the United States. Because women’s average life expectancy is currently 81 years, we’re easily spending a third of our lives postmenopausal. That is a great opportunity for growth and change.
The long phase of perimenopause is marked by seismic spikes and troughs of estrogen levels, which can last for more than a decade in many women. But afterward, there is a hormonal ebbing that creates a moment of great possibility. As a psychiatrist, I will tell you the most interesting thing about menopause is what happens after. A woman emerging from the transition of perimenopause blossoms. It is a time for redefining and refining what it is she wants to accomplish in her third act. And it happens to be excellent timing for the job Clinton is likely to seek. Biologically speaking, post-menopausal women are ideal candidates for leadership. They are primed to handle stress well, and there is, of course, no more stressful job than the presidency.

I love this. Back in 1992, these idiots were preaching about the need for younger people in office and that George H. W. Bush was too old and borderline senile. They said the same nonsense about Reagan.
Now that the tables have turned, everything is about age bringing wisdom. It makes me want to projectile vomit. Everything is about dividing people in the Democratic party ... everything. It would hurt my eyes to look at the world through demographic colored glassed. No wonder liberals are crazy.
I hope and pray that Ted Cruz wins. Cruz beating Hillary (assuming she runs) would be a fitting repudiation of late 1960s America. Obama is their last best hope ... that is pathetic! Sure the Communists will be out there lingering and I’m VERY confident Barry’s going to try to take over the UN to dictate what USA policy should be (that’d be funny if Cruz were elected), but they put all of their eggs in the Baby Boomer basket for leadership and the militant homosexual media basket for political muscle ... a Cruz victory and Republican hold of Congress would crush them.
I know people are getting sick and frigging tired of the social climate here in the States ... I just hope that means people are finally waking up to what these ‘rulers’ really are.
Damn. They thought Reagan was way too old, and reminded us throughout his presidency. What’s changed I wonder. (sarc)
So.... This would that pre-menopausal women are unfit to serve in elected positions? OK.
CC
She should be going to prison for the crimes she has committed.
Anyone still think we have a free and fair media in this country?
What I want to know is how much she makes from these greeting cards?
A while back I predict that Chelsea would have a baby two a few years before the election to help Hillary “look” more likeable.
Now I’m predicting that we’ll start hearing about some serious health issues involving Bill Clinton. And how she’ll need to “cancel certain appearances” to be by his side.
If a Republican male had said that he would have been condemned for saying that women have wild mood swings provoked by hormones.
She is insufferable.
Dems will stay home.
Yeah Judy, after eight years of perfidious Hell, the country really need a power-hungry, drunken, sadistic liar back in the WH.
(But this one is competent at malfeasance at the get-go.)
Vince Foster would be so happy at Hillary’s apparent success. Web Hubbel would be so happy at his daughter’s success. All the women that Good Ole Bill raped or sexually abused would be happy at Hillary’s staying out of prison. I will be so happy if the moderator doesn’t revoke my posting privilege.
Yeah.. but what about her lying, conniving, deceptive personality???
I prefer candidates for whom menopause is not an issue.
I don’t want some wuss, post-menopausal female. I want a young, PMSing Maggie Thatcher dropping the hammer on Ayatollah Khameini.
Anyone know where I can find the article about Hillary banned words, descriptors and phrases?
This is some of the goofiest bull**** I’ve ever seen. We never should have started giving college diplomas to braindead morons.
