Would you wear the "M" badge?

In the news today, Andrea McLean advocates women wearing a badge to show that they are menopausal and should be "cut some slack, like pregnant women". She feels it would be the same as having "Baby on Board" stickers in your car or "Please offer me a seat" badges. I think it's a bonkers idea and would not want to wear one personally. Would you want to wear one?

So the point of the M badge is effectively to garner sympathy from people that come into contact with a menopausal woman.
Crazy.

I don't think there will be many who give up a seat on the bus for a badge wearer.
Andrea suggestion is pantssmile

No no no what a stupid idea.
