Unable to send direct message

Hi 
I'm unable to send direct messages to anyone. I can't see the option of private messenger that everyone is recommending and there's no option of messages in the dropdown of my profile. 

Please let me know how it can be enabled.

I was in the same boat and made me question my eye-sight 🙄

The private message option does not appear for new joiners. I got it only after a few weeks.
