Women Over 40 - Your Body Is Not Broken
In this monologue, JJ Virgin tells women—particularly those over 40—that they are not "broken." She argues that the pervasive feeling of personal flaw stems from a systemic lack of comprehensive adult sex education and specific knowledge about female biology, including hormones, perimenopause, and menopause. Because most women have never been taught how their bodies change, they mistakenly internalize symptoms as personal shortcomings or psychological disorders. Virgin emphasizes that proper education can transform this mindset, shifting the narrative from self‑blame to informed ownership of one’s body. She uses a personal anecdote about feeling "broken" at the dentist to illustrate how widespread this mis‑perception is, underscoring that the root cause is educational deficiency rather than individual defect.
