Anyone else quietly seething about the current R4 series on Menopause?

Apparently it's sooo boring to have a bog-standard programme about menopause and how it affects 50% of the population, so today they're looking at that neglected OTHER 50% of the population (eg men) and examining the 'Menopause'. Hmm There are not enough eyerolls. This simply has no scientific base.
