• Reader Laura Alcorn argues against the California proposal from inside the demographic: 'we cannot continue to cry for equal treatment and rights if we make excuses based on our hormones.'
• Alcorn's stated fears are employer-side and hiring-side: poor performance automatically excused by age, managers afraid to give feedback, and women less likely to be hired or promoted once menopause is framed publicly as peril.
