The intended audience is age 35+ people whose bodies will stop menstruating, but I feel like I learned so much that would have been helpful when I was younger. Post-menstruation is primetime. We need to fight back the notion that it's "cozy, settle into irrelevance" time that is all too common in youth-obsessed society. Respect the many advantages that a brain without reproductive focus has to offer. The transition is rough but the other side is a whole life of exploring, building, and guiding. Hello, business acumen...

Some things didn't resonate with me. I object to the idea that men only feel love and connection through sex. Sure, there are plenty who probably do, but I think it has more to do with societal norms priming that belief by equivocating sex with romance and love. Reducing men to the sum of their reproductive organ is as destructive as valuing women only in terms of their reproductive viability, the whole point of this book. This one quibble aside, I still highly recommend the work.
