Celebs warn MPs women must act like ‘bullies’ fighting for proper menopause care
WOMEN must act like “bullies” to fight for proper menopause treatment, Mariella Frostrup warned MPs.
The TV and radio presenter told the Commons’ Women and Equalities Committee that care is still not good enough.
Mariella, 60, who set up campaign group Menopause Mandate last year, said: “Women of colour and working-class women have to be a bully to be heard when it comes to menopause.
“You have to walk in to your GP and say, ‘I want this, this and this’.
“A society is only as good as the way it elevates those who are in the weakest position.”
Ex Countdown presenter Carol Vorderman, 62, added: “I want the government to say we are going to have a model of menopause policies for the workplace.
“When it comes from the top, all employers will listen and women will be helped and their families will be helped.”
It came as a report by the Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch found mental health services are not taking menopause symptoms seriously enough.
Too many women are given anti-depressants when really they need hormone therapy, the report said.
Doctors must be better trained to manage mental health issues in women going through the change, the HSIB said.
The Sun’s Fabulous Menopause Matters campaign has called for women to get more help in the workplace.

With Guilty Gear Strive, Game Pass finally has a fighting game worthy of the Series X
Now, I’m not saying Game Pass hasn’t had its share of decent fighters pass through it: the service has been home to Tekken 7, Soul Calibur 6, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Mortal Kombat 11 and – more recently – JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle R. There have also been the more… ambitious games, you know, the ones that mean well but don’t really stick the landing (Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, I’m looking at you).
But, as decent as this roster of fighters is, there’s always been one thing missing from the collection: a proper stunner, the sort of game you’d boot up with your mates at your house just to say ‘look at this – seriously, look at it!’ I think Tekken still looks pretty good, and Dragon Ball FighterZ has its own charm, too, thanks to that lovely art style. But they’re all a little outdated at this point; Tekken 7 was 2015, FighterZ was 2018, and MK11 was 2019.
Enter Guilty Gear Strive, the latest batshit brawler from the hyperactive minds at Arc System Works. Initially launching as a PS5 console exclusive back in 2021, this game blew players’ minds a few years ago with its gorgeous graphics and its stylish UI. Guilty Gear Strive marks the series’ first foray using Unreal Engine 4, and the result is obvious: one of the most impressive-looking fighters I’ve ever seen. The Japanese studio delivers its most beautiful 2D/3D cel-shaded graphics yet in Strive, and it looks even more delicious and sharp on next-generation consoles (running at 60FPS, no less).
