i know someone who used to think women peed through their vaginas.

it's crazy that doctors are being ordered to tell women that having an abortion will lead to their getting cancer or becoming suicidal.

I loved when she came out publicly against Gwenyth Paltro’s idiotic endorsement of vulva steaming and vaginal jade eggs.

Having a baby will "Cure" menstrual cramps!

Apparently they thought a hymen was causing cramps. A fine bit of woo from my family Doctor.

That or they believed that the cervix being stretched out would cure cramps? Also incorrect.

I had Endo. From day one.

Ok, bear with me here. The victorian Europeans believed that educating a woman decreased her fertility. Too much thinking decreases the baby making humors or what have you. Funnily enough there is an inverse correlation between how much education a woman receives and how many children she has. Talk about being right for the wrong reasons.

The craziest thing I've heard about women's health is that "abortion is murder."
