Hi Xeno.
I am 57 yrs old and post-menopausal for the last 7 yrs. Mine came early - at 42..
But being post-menopausal, having mega-PMS, or just plain being a woman should not deter us from leading a country or trying to change things for the better (or worse by some opinions). I am not defending Hillary, nor anyone else here, just stating a fact. And.. if any country in this world is actually led by their voted politicians - if you get my meaning. A puppet is a puppet, no matter what sex.
But you can rest assured, we women can go through childbirth, can improvise and feed our children - doing whatever is necessary and then some (some things a man might be too proud to do) to survive. It is in our basic instinct to survive - no matter what. Just ask all the women in former Yugoslavia who were raped, beaten, and even killed. Those that survived did not collectiveley jump off a bridge to quall their shame - they go on with all means possible.
So, menses, menopause, PMS, yup they do have their influence on us, but so does everything emotional and physical in this world, and somehow we still keep on going - where some men would have shot themselves in the head by now.
It used to be OK to say ''behind every good man, their stands a woman''.
How about letting the little woman stand up front and see what happens - it might just surprise you.
Excuse miss-spelled words - I don't usually have time to spend spell-checking every post I answer to, but am sure you get my meaning.
