When I gave birth to my daughter, they had to keep me in the hospital for 10 days because I wasn’t doing well. Every time I tried to stand up, I fainted. At one point, according to my husband, I even stopped breathing. He panicked and called a friend, a cardiologist who also worked at the same hospital. The response he got was, “You know, sometimes our wives just want attention when they are going through a hard time.” My husband was furious. He insisted that someone come and actually see what was happening. When the resident arrived, my husband said, “Just watch.” He helped me stand up, and I don’t remember anything after that. When I woke up, the room was full of doctors in a panic. I had stopped breathing again. That was the moment they realized it was not “attention seeking.” #medicalmisogyny

Women endured pain silently because women weren’t allowed to speak for ourselves in a way that we would be heard. Women engineers overcame the barriers only in 2025. Medical misogyny is real.
Everyone to women: STAND UP AND SPEAK OUT ABOUT ABUSE!
Woman: I was abused.
Everyone: He denies it and you can't prove it. Plus, you're still alive right? Let us know if he kills you tho
i think one of the healthiest things i've ever learned is that you should allow others to reintroduce themselves to you, even your closest friends. Give people space to become who they are without assuming you know who they are just because you've been friends/family for years.
