I have never thought of the editorial board of The Salt Lake Tribune as old white men sitting around discussing menopausal behavior with a "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" attitude. However, your headline and subsequent article of Sept. 30 regarding "Ma Nature being meteorologically menopausal , basking Utahns in sunshine and heat one day and cold, wet and even snowy weather the next" would suggest that perhaps an attitude adjustment is needed.

You have insulted at least half of your readers with that headline and opening paragraph.
