How many young women want to have possibly intimate and distressing conversations about their period experience with a man? How many women of any age in the community |(not empowered professionals or media savvy personalities, ordinary women on the street) would want to talk about this with a stranger man who has no frame of reference?
How many "lightbulb" moments about periods can any man, who has never and will never experience them, have? Lightbulb moments, insights into experience, real empathy, all the qualities you need in someone if you want them to truly revolutionise the way periods are dealt with in a way that has some real meaning and impact on the lives or ordinary women?
In the light of the menopause floodgates (pun intended) finally opening after hundreds of years of women suffering in silence, women finally being given a voice and treated seriously in medicine, in the media and in the workplace, how tone bloody deaf to appoint a man to this role. And how typical that the initiative is being taken away from women because this particular man - who must be a tone deaf narcissist to take it in the first place - can't handle a bit of heat.
