Beach Read: Menopause

"If menopause were on Yelp, it would have one star." So begins Dr. Jen Gunter's fantastic new book The Menopause Manifesto about a taboo topic that affects every single woman at some point in her life. And would you expect anything less from an OB/GYN who wrote the bestseller, The Vagina Bible and critiques Gwyneth Paltrow for peddling unsafe vag accessories? In a recent interview with the Toronto Star, Dr. Gunter said, “If something happens to your body that frightens off a man, he’s a f--king asshole. Women should not be cleaning up after their bodies to keep men comfortable." Um, will you run away with me, doc?
*FYI: you know PRETTY RIPE is always down to talk about hot flashes and organic lube, so slide into my DMs here anytime.
