The full anatomy of the clitoris wasn’t even mapped out until 2005. It wasn’t believed to even exist until the late 90s.

I’m really supportive of your point that we shouldn’t discourage people from seeking medical help. I’m all about preventative medicine and modern advances. But I think you’re a little biased from the place where you work. I’m glad you work with people who seem to care about their patients. I don’t think it’s as universal as you want to claim.

I think there’s a new one coming out soon. Prepare your ears lol

Oh same, same. I’ve seen plenty of instances of hostile sexism on this site and your reply was decidedly not hostile, so I was a little surprised at the push back. That’s all.

Not so much a criticism as trying to point out that you weren’t being malicious in your comment.

I’m a woman to start.

Your username gives no indication that you’re a woman and this site is overwhelmingly male. I’m never surprised when someone guesses I’m a man when we’re conversing initially. It’s not like the greatest thing in the world, but most people here are not misgendering me on purpose.

He didn’t call you a “lad”, he said you might have ADHD like his lad aka his son.

Bud feels like a pretty gender neutral term compared to dude, man, brother, etc.

I’ve learned so much about Subnautica. So, so much.

This is kind of a weird hill to die on, ngl.

I’m just tired of hearing that doctors care and then never experiencing that in person. At some point there’s a disconnect between what doctors believe they’re providing and what patients are experiencing.

For you. Some women it’s much worse.

Pain management should be offered depending on the patient’s individual needs and not because of some outdated idea that we feel less pain there.

My personal experience has largely been that doctors don’t listen to me, so I’m sorry, but your one point of view here doesn’t cancel out my entire lifetime of being disbelieved.

I have an autoimmune condition that took 4 years to diagnose. I was constantly told I was being promiscuous and treated for diseases that i tested negative for over and over again. And this was knowing I had a history of autoimmune issues from my childhood.

I have an IUD replacement coming up next week. I was told no pain management would be offered, but I could take some ibuprofen before I come in.

I’ve been told to my face that my gallstone pain wasn’t real as I was throwing up into the doctors office trash can. Told to call ambulance if I wanted pain medication.

When I gave birth, they refused to allow me to wait for labor to set in, I was forced to go on pitocin. I labored for 3 days before having an emergency c-section. And then the nurses were late with pain meds for the two days I was still in the hospital. Oh and there’s no nurseries anymore, so my newborn was in my room the entire time and I had no help and a new surgical incision across my abdomen.

So no, I don’t believe that most doctors care about their patients.

Is Alexandrite for piefed? I’ve been enjoying voyager, but am curious about exploring piefed more.

@YarrMatey@lemmy.dbzer0.com explained it much better than I did in my admittedly flippant statement.

It’s more like doctors don’t believe women can feel the cervix very well even though we very, very much can.

Female doctors, too.

It’s a big ole boys club over here and it’s clear where they want to draw lines.

Reddit is much easier to use and has such a larger user base that one can tailor their experience to align much closer to their own interests. There’s not quite enough people on piefed and Lemmy to have that same experience.

There were starter packs when I made an account on Lemmy.today

Thank you, this is exactly what I was referencing.

The vast majority do not offer it. Doctors believe it’s just a pinch or light cramping.

I was refused any pain relief for my next iud insertion. And that’s happening in a few weeks.

Edit: lol I didn’t realize what comment you had replied to - yeah that was funny hah

Ibuprofen doesn’t touch the pain at all.

Have you been through birth and iud insertion and other procedures?

Still don’t offer pain relief for procedures like IUD insertion and the like.

While celebrated in her lifetime, Leyster was quickly forgotten after her death. A posthumous inventory attributed some of her paintings to “the wife of the deceased”, referring to her artist husband, Jan Miense Molenaer. Then she disappeared. Her works were attributed to Frans Hals, other male contemporaries, or, simply, “unknown master”. Those paintings under her name were little esteemed. In the 1970s a major US museum sold one; other institutions left her work unseen in their vaults.

Now the painter, who has been enjoying a revival for some time, is back in the spotlight, one of more than 40 female artists who worked in the Low Countries during the baroque period to be featured in a new exhibition.

I love that they’re being brought back now! Such a shame that these womens’ works were attributed to men once they passed, but it’s relieving that we can recover some of that history.
