It seems a recent study by crackerjack Canadian researchers shows that menopause is actually caused by men. My wife blames me for everything else, so one more thing added to the list isn't a big deal.

Men are to blame for menopause, according to a new study.
Canadian researchers suggest mens preference for younger women throughout history is what led to the gene mutation that triggered menopause.
What were talking about is a population phenomenon, said study author Rama S. Singh, a biology professor at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
Men dont pick women with their eyes closed. Theyre attracted to beautiful women who are more likely to be younger than older. When that happens, men are busy reproducing with younger women. That means women on the other end, older women, are less likely to reproduce.
Over time, Singh says this actually altered genetics among women in the 50-plus set because they werent producing, now they couldnt.
