This enrages me on multiple levels...

1) does this twit think women get to just demand drugs and get them without going through the same if not more scrutiny than these guys do, including needing a prescription? One that generally requires a physical exam, not just whining about about how you're really a lady

2) surprise, surprise, bunch of dudes are utterly ignorant of women's bodies and medications intended for women until they want it, and then it's oppressive because they realize something they want isn't only for them. Reminds me of all the incels who were outraged when forced to acknowledge that little girls were the my little pony target audience

3) THEY'RE STILL IGNORANT. What kind of idiot pines for a prescription medication that is intended for a body unlike his and doesn't even know what it is meant to do. It's pretty clear that they believe it's to stop menopause so women can keep having babies (because of course that's the only reason they can think of you'd care about menopause) and not to deal with symptoms of menopause.

Narcissistic, ignorant, self-absorbed assholes to a man, no exceptions.

Yeah that really confused me when I first read this. I am pretty young and haven't thought about menopause at all but I don't think there are scads of 50+ year old women being like "I really want another child now that menopause has started, so let's take this wonder drug so I can pop out more!"...

There might be if it worked like that. I'm sure there are women who would really like to extend their fertility period, especially nowadays.
