Busted Flush Police

Reports that a senior chief of police has worn a hot vest to replicate what it feels like for a woman in menopause to have a hot flush . . Not decrying womens issues... but not for a chief of police. Maybe he should rent a flat in an inner city and know what it feels like to be burgled...

Lots of menopausal women struggle hugely coping with their symptoms in the workplace. I'm not usually a fan of these gimmicky box-ticking exercises but if it fosters a little more empathy towards them (and I'm not holding my breath that it will) then it can only be a good thing.

More people are affected by menopause than burglary.

Couldn't they have just hired a menopausal woman as chief of police?

Surely that's easier.....

From a man's veiw reading this it sums up most men's mentality towards the menopause and how little understanding this guy actual has of it . Guy puts on a warming jacket to replicate how a women feels . What about all the other symptoms women suffer with it . Listening to the ladies at work sounds like hell how the brain and body feels and changes during this time . This guy will probably now have very little sympathy for women suffering from it because he felt a little bit warm during the day . Bloody silly idea x

To have your property entered, ransacked and destroyed is a feeling beyond compare. Add little help from the police and harsh insurance companies you might end up with a nervous breakdown. Unable to sleep with constant fear of another break in and possible assault.

The menopause is nature, crime an ugly side of humanity.

While this kind of whataboutery isn't useful, I know many women absolutely feel that menopause "ransacks and destroys" their bodies. It might be natural, but that doesn't preclude it from being traumatic or ugly. If you're unable to empathise, perhaps you should accept that your understanding in this area is limited and refrain from dismissing something half of the population will, at some point, go through.

He’s showing consideration for a section of his workforce. Better to be accurately knowledgeable than an ignorant arse

Lots of things are nature but you don’t just ignore it. It’s a daily debilitating issue for some women.

Menopause is nature yes but please don't dismiss so lightly the trauma some women experience and the toll menopause takes on their wellbeing and their lives. The link between menopause and mental health is strong and many women have been driven to suicide through lack of understanding, compassion and empathy when they have sought help upon entering the menopause.

Pretty sure had i said to the other half 'its only nature love, not like we've just been burgled' I would deservedly be wondering why I was on the deck having been kicked in the nuts..
