The language gap framing is compelling.

When there isn’t a clear framework, it makes sense that people default to familiar explanations - even if they’re incomplete.

Interested to see how you build the framework in the next post.

Thank you. I do think we all have our own defaults. Built from life experience or trauma. So we rely on them when situations feel unfamiliar.

Very thoughtful piece. I like your reference to the language gap and how we use our established frame of reference to assign meaning when we don’t quite know. Just subbed. Hope you sub back.

Another thoughtful and insightful piece, Simon. It's so helpful to have this perspective on how the men on our lives are experiencing menopause alongside us.
