Women in the UK live on average 1/3 of their lives after 50 and after the menopause. It isn't game over, nor should it be portrayed as such

Is this an inside joke we don't understand? Or is Tiger Woods giving a competitor a tampon to imply he is weak as if he has a period?
Because people continuing to work, parent+function while bleeding every month, often in pain at the same time, clearly shows weakness. Right?
Tiger Woods had a gift for Justin Thomas after driving it past him on number nine.
