I'm Actually Married to Davey...and She's in Perimenopause

In Chapter 14 of Miranda July's All Fours, our increasingly unhinged heroine realizes that she has most certainly cried "Wolf!" or, in her case, "Menopause!" Now officially experiencing perimenopause, we follow her faulty reasoning as she concludes that her newfound libido may soon disappear along with her estrogen—she, and all women, will eventually fall off of a cliff. Or so she thinks.

Amy confirms that not all medical providers are as evolved as Dr. Mendoza and the two hosts consider that any prescription for perimenopause should include a rumspringa, as Mary suggests. Tommy admits that he might be married to his “Davey” while Amy pushes journaling and fantasy. All this and more!
