Not to put too fine a point on it, but men pretending to be women do not get menopause.
That isn’t an obstacle to the researchers at Kings College in London. Apparently they got some money to research the non-existent phenomenon.

So it’s business as usual then … CBC reportedly considering dropping requirement for journalistic objectivity
CBC is reportedly considering dropping an age-old requirement for its reporters to be objective — at least for those from a visible minority group.
The revelation was shared this week in an editorial by the Quebec newspaper La Presse.

‘Use tampons to staunch bullet wounds’, Russian army recruits told
New recruits to the Russian army are being told to ask their wives and girlfriends for tampons to use as bandages in the event they get shot, as military supplies run out.
In a video circulating on social media, a woman who has been identified as a military doctor can be seen giving what appears to be an introductory speech to new recruits.
