"East Midlands Ambulance Service will allow staff to take a year of paid leave if they're suffering from 'male menopause.'"

"The condition, which isn't clinically recognised, is caused by a fall in testosterone levels, and can result in symptoms such as weight gain and depression. In addition to paid leave, managers at the trust have also been asked to provide additional uniforms, portable fans and change shift patterns to assist male staff members.... Men's testosterone levels naturally fall by about 1% a year from around the age of 30 to 40.... Behaviours like excessive alcohol consumption, a poor diet and smoking are all known contributors, as are psychological conditions like stress, depression and anxiety. As the NHS website states, 'in many cases the symptoms are nothing to do with hormones.'..."

As a society, we are too stupid to survive. Last one out, turn off the lights if there is still electrical power.

What about testosterone supplements instead of going on leave for a year?

The martial artist Joe Rogan swore on his podcast that the 59-year-old Jeff Bezos must be taking testosterone.

My guess is that cutting alcohol, tobacco, and starting to exercise would cure 75% to 90% of the sufferers.

Will they offer paid leave for female erectile disfunction?

Lowered expectations in a welfare culture.

What in the hell is happening? It's incomprehensible.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...

you can get testosterone injected as needed. Good gravy - how did the Greatest Generation ever combat the Nazis? Oh wait- they were adults.

Oh wait - they were not modern day man-pussies - circa now in our ridiculous culture of decline and whine.

JAORE म्हणाले...

A year of paid leave? For an aliment you can not diagnose?

Sign me up.

El Predicto sez:
We will face an unprecedented rash of male menopause cases centered (for some unknown reason... /sarc) around this company.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

As a 77 year old biological male with pronouns he/him, this looks like junk science to me.

Amexpat म्हणाले...

Yes, we need to give men a pause as well.

I see what you did there, Big Mike. I think.

I’m tired of being exploited by the matriarchy

Smilin' Jack म्हणाले...

And then they can take another year off for female menopause. Because DEI.

n.n म्हणाले...

Men of Pause (MoP) is a social class under diversity. Men who identify as women, to overcome sexism under DEI, are also a social class.

Captain Obvious concurs.

Jamie म्हणाले...

I mean, I skimmed the article and it implied but did not state that women get at least a year off due to menopause, which US women deal with in a number of ways that don't include taking a year off. How anything ever gets done in the UK, I'll never know.

So, thats sports car i bought at 45 was due to male menopause?

well, thank God.

"Man-o-pause."

The rule of Lemnity म्हणाले...

Male menopause is what I would call toxic masculinity… and that will probably get me rounded up and sent to camp Hillary Rodham for reeducation.

Once upon a time, British men would've rather died than let their mates know they were low T. Even if it was with a wink-wink-nudge-nudge, the stink would've clung to them like an elevator fart.

rastajenk म्हणाले...

Some good comments above. I cannot improve on them; just a big ol' WTF.
