Women don't matter. This is a result of that. Recently read that in the field of biology, they pretty much never cared about the female bodies. Now a female biologist has discovered amazing things in the reproductive organs of birds. Heck they don't even know why the clit is so far from the v (other mammals is very close to the v) and they don't care. Statistics still say 40% of women admit to "faking it" when it come to sex. I think it's much higher.
Anyway, women are always having to tough it out.
Birth control pills come with dangers you might not want.
I went through something like that around 47, then it stopped entirely around 50 and a few months, called a doctor for a regular appointment and mentioned I was in menopause, and the woman on the phone said "YOU ARE TOO YOUNG FOR THAT". A woman working at a doctors office, saying that, yeah, we don't matter.
