My experience with the deeply rooted misogyny of men in general and medicine particularly [View all]

[Coventina]

I am having a bit of a meltdown, after seeing JD Vance saying that helping care for grandchildren is the purpose of the post-menopausal female.

Just to relate a brief history of my PURPOSE (sarcasm) in life:
I had a son, who died very young of natural causes.

I then tried for a long time to have another child, but had a string of miscarriages.

I was eventually determined to have too many uterine fibroids to ever become pregnant, and they were getting so huge that they were a serious health problem. My uterus was removed, but not my ovaries, as I was still quite young at the time and it would have slammed me into menopause.

I have a number of chronic health problems, so I see a number of different doctors pretty regularly.

After I had my uterus removed, EVERY SINGLE DOCTOR I SAW AFTER THAT (excepting my gynecologist, who was a woman, and did the surgery) asked me, "Why do you still have your ovaries?"

All of them male.

It pissed me off so badly that I started asking them, "Why do you still have your balls?"

Men, even DOCTORS, have so much ignorance and thoughtlessness about what it is to be a woman.

JD Vance doesn't even seem to think there would be a reason for me to be alive, since I will never have grandchildren.
Never mind that I'm a college professor, mid-career.
Or that I have a number of interests and hobbies.
And that I spend the money I would have spent on children and grandchildren on charities.

FUCK THESE MEN!!

MY LIFE IS WORTH LIVING DESPITE NOT HAVING CHILDREN!!!!!

DOWN WITH THE PATRIARCHY! THE FUTURE IS FEMALE!!!!
