Is it just me, or is using “menopausal” to describe the economy deeply sexist and insulting? Apparently it describes economies “past their peak and no longer potent”. Words fail mehttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2018/05/15/menopausal-uk-economy-risks-once-in-a-century-slump-warns-deputy/ …
It’s crass, badly informed and derogatory. There are enough taboos and myths about the menopause as it is!

You’re an idiot. Even the (female) journalist behind the interview has said he wasn’t being sexist. Oh - and financiers commonly refer to banks being “impotent”. That also wrong?pic.twitter.com/1uiAQ1rV38
