The fundamental difference between men and women:
Men will think I am wearing this shirt because I crave attention
Women of a certain age know
It’s another hot flash
Pry HRT from my cold, dead hands
I tip my hat to synthetic science
Pleasantly surprised my breasts came back
Perimenopause is a word for a ten year madness
450 Periods
Pregnancy, miscarriage, labour,
Breastfeeding, stretch-marks,
What mighty transgression did I commit
To deserve such karmic retribution
Harbinger of dry vagina
Grey hair
Wrinkled armpits
The loss of inner labia; did you know this was a thing??
I’m still a mother;
Fuck being a crone
Give me collagen masks
Hair dye
Really good foundation (with serums, because ALL the reasons)
Inelegant decay
With a wicked sense of humour
I refuse to submit
To this indignancy
