这一期更年期的话题继续，作为女性，我们的女性长辈默默地度过了她们的更年期，几乎每一个成年人都经历过“疯女人”一般的女性长辈，或者对女性长辈在经历更年期的很多新的习惯缺少共情。但是女性长辈真的变成了“疯女人”了吗？我们现在是不是能够对她们的情绪变化有更多的认知？除此之外，经历完更年期，失去了性欲以及月经，我们会对自己的女性身份认同产生变化吗？我们浅浅地聊了一聊这个巨大的话题，至少我们在讨论的过程中得到了自洽。或许让经历更年期的女性摆脱“疯女人”的污名还需要很久，但是至少在这一集的讨论中，我们知道了“疯女人”之所以是“疯女人”的原因。留下你的评论！感谢你的收听！

This episode continues our conversation on menopause. As women, we’ve seen how our female elders quietly went through their own menopausal transitions. Almost every adult has experienced having a female elder who seemed like a “crazy woman” during that time, or lacked empathy for the many new habits these women developed. But did our female elders really become “crazy women”? Are we now more capable of understanding the emotional shifts they went through?

Beyond that, after menopause—when sexual desire fades and menstruation stops—do we begin to experience a shift in how we identify with our womanhood?

We lightly touched on this vast topic, and at the very least, found some inner clarity in the process. It might still take a long time for women going through menopause to be freed from the stigma of being labeled “crazy,” but in this episode, we explored the reasons behind why the “crazy woman” label exists in the first place.
