Hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings - menopause
and its side effects can all be blamed on men, experts suggest.
Evolutionary
geneticists from Canada's McMaster University say men's tendency to choose
younger mates meant fertility became pointless for older women. They say this
eventually led to menopause.
It’s
ironic that this study uses the phrase pointless, as that’s exactly what it is.
Of all
the things there are to research about genes and yet those at McMaster chose this,
what a waste of time.
A simple
biology lesson would have saved them the time and told them that the older
women get the more risks there are involved in reproducing, and also the fact
that the advancements in medicine in the last hundred years means that life
expectancy has shot up and exceeded the age of onset menopause.
Yet despite
all this existing evidence they decided to press on anyway and have come up
with a nonsense theory that nobody should pay any attention to.
