OVER VROUWEN – with women (v/x/m)
During OVER VROUWEN, with women (f/x/m), you’ll get to know feminism in all its shapes and forms. On these recurring evenings, you’ll discover a new perspective on feminism each time, and this evening is about uhh, what’s it called again? That phase when all your hormones are flying all over the place, flying, FLYING! WHY ISN’T MY KEYBOARD WORKING?! Never mind, I don’t feel like it anymore… why is it so hot in here, too? Okay, breathe in and breathe out: this evening is about the phase leading up to menopause. A phase that everyone with a uterus goes through.
Did you know that your hormones can start fluctuating as early as your mid-thirties? No? That’s not surprising, because a lot of people don’t know this. We’re going to talk about PERIMENOPAUSE and why we actually know so little about it (spoiler: the patriarchal medical industry is largely to blame). What are the symptoms, and why does it often take so long for them to be recognised? Depression, an anxiety disorder and burnout are common misdiagnoses, while a lot of suffering could easily be prevented or reduced by recognising the symptoms. There is still a lot to learn, and we’ll make a start during this edition of Over Vrouwen. Everyone is welcome, uterus or not.
