Halle Berry is looking to challenge the way we think about menopause.
If you are using ad-blocking software, please disable it and reload the page."Imagine being in your 50s, still posting nudes for attention in menopause when you should be chilling with the grandkids," the critic wrote in a since-deleted comment."Aging with dignity is no longer a thing."
While Berry shot back with a pithy response, it's far from the first time the actress has had to combat society's ageism and sexism. "The most important thing about owning your sexuality as a woman is accepting the station you're at -- and embracing that," she tells."And I say that because I'm smack dab in the middle of menopause. And I am challenging everything I thought I knew about menopause. Things like: 'Your life is over.' 'You are disposable.' 'Society no longer has a place for you.' 'You should retire.' 'You should pack it up.
That mindset doesn't only come into play when dealing with trolls on the internet. Berry says she applies that brand of thinking in all aspects of life, including her work as an actress, producer and director. "Today, I challenge every script. I ask, 'What's the female point of view?' Because so many of these scripts today are still written by men. Men are writing roles for women. They're writing roles for characters that they do not understand," she says."If you don't know what the female POV is because you're a man, then open your mind, expand your reality, and hear my point of view. And take that into consideration.
