This was interesting to read, mostly because it isn’t my experience at all. It felt like reading about someone from an alien planet.
But I didn’t really experience PMS back when I was ovulating, and I didn’t really experience any notable perimenopause or menopause symptoms either. (I had early menopause at 43 due to chemo.)
I basically feel like me continuously from about 14 on, I think, with a dose of pandemic depression in 2020. And that me isn’t particularly emotional, or notably warmer than the men I know, or anything else that she’s talking about here. Interesting!
