As a gynecologist,
Medical misogyny isn’t just a rude comment in a clinic.
It’s when a woman says “I’m in pain” and the system says “it’s normal.”
It’s endometriosis sometimes taking 7–10 years to diagnose because severe period pain is minimized.
It’s a woman with pelvic pain being prescribed antidepressants before she’s given imaging.
It’s “you’ll feel a little pressure” before a procedure that would never be described that way to a man.
It’s when female sexual pain is dismissed as anxiety.
When menopause symptoms are brushed off as mood swings.
When contraception side effects are normalized but male alternatives are considered too risky.
Women are not dramatic.
They are under listened to.
And as physicians, our job is not to protect comfort.
It’s to protect patients…

@jd_occasionally I’m a huge fan of horror movies and true crime. I tried watching this series and keep have to pause because I find my self angry and disturbed. The only thing I like about the series is how much insight we get on the victims and their lives and how they were failed.
