Female hysteria was once a common medical diagnosis for women. It was described as exhibiting a wide array of symptoms, including anxiety, shortness of breath, fainting, nervousness, exaggerated and impulsive sexual desire, insomnia, fluid retention, heaviness in the abdomen, irritability, loss of appetite for food or sex, sexually impulsive behavior, and a "tendency to cause trouble for others".[1]
So basically anything the man deems abnormal. Being a woman in the past sounds shitty.
It’s not really so much better now, tbh..
Everything is still blamed on hormones and periods and stuff, or just dismissed.
And a lot of things aren’t even studied in women, including many medications, because the hormonal cycle is “disruptive to the research” even though half the population experiences it, and men have their own hormone cycles.
I know so little about male hormone cycles even though I am a male. I feel like this should have been taught to me at some point but of course it hasn't.
The information agebis stupid, all its really taught me is that I don't know shit, and that it isn't my fault because the bastards in power keep pushing dumbass misogyny, racism and bigotry.
You think we can reroll our spawn realm?
(Edit: I have no idea what agebis stupid means, I wrote this comment on my phone and well, no clue. Soz.)
Not so antiquated if you look into pain management and other areas in which doctors are dismissive of symptoms.
"Oh, you have an autoimmune disorder? Probably in your head."
Or as Red of Overly Sarcastic Productions likes to call it, ‘Being a Woman Disease’.
It sounds like a great name for an all women stand up comedy show.
As opposed to the perpetually ignored Male Hysteria ..... which often leads to side effects including world war, genocide, mass poverty and government authoritarianism
seems simple enough to solve, just need to come up with the male equivalent of this:
honestly, we should bring back wank clinics, would help with nerves.
Bring back?
I was going to say, its not like truck stops stopped existing..
We could just aim it at the butt or something?
Apoligies, but I can't understand what you are saying unless its presented in the form of a 19th-century lithograph.
And they say male intimacy is dead
ironically that's for reviving drowning victims
drowning in bussy maybe
only if you suck when you're supposed to blow
Finally, I knew my collection of 19th-century but stuff lithographs would be useful one day!
Calm down
