Scientists Learn Why Women Go Through Menopause by Studying Killer Whales

@Doctor_Jackson

it’s obvious that these scientists have never watched any of the “Real Housewives” documentaries…

Or watched Maury.

Comparing women to whales is not likely to generate positive headlines.

Were any of the scientists involved in this study female?

Ask any woman - we go thru menopause so we can get a break. I’m closing in on 63 - you think I want to be dealing with a baby at this stage of my life? It’s got nothing to do with my daughter and any kids she may have. It’s got to do with: I raised my kid. Now it’s my turn for MEEEE!!!

So you consciously decided to undergo menopause?

I’m moderately pissed off that scientists are willing to put in thought on behalf of whales but not actual human women.

Why do you think that, based on a single study? There have been many articles seeking to explain the evolution of menopause in humans.
