@Voidsspace It's almost as if the approach towards women's medical problems is entirely centered and quantified around their ability to reproduce rather than actual treatment

The internet used to be full of websites; there were millions of them and you could browse for hours and come away smarter rather than dumber. Now there are four sites and they've made half the population illiterate. We've destroyed a wonderful thing, and it has destroyed us.
Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.
@katblikee a big chunk of the issue here is that many women have spoken up, and are not taken seriously by medical professionals or even other women. their discomfort/pain is dismissed or even laughed at.
why do people act like medical fields with a foundation in misogyny and racism are somehow magically detached from that in the modern day? Neither of those things went away?
I think some people also underestimate (or sometimes downplay, in an attempt to cope) how incredibly misogynistic the medical field is, especially every branch that has to do with women’s reproductive systems
"A French woman who tested positive for hantavirus after she was evacuated from a cruise ship reported symptoms to doctors onboard but was told it was probably just anxiety, the Spanish health minister has said."
Or course.
