From the vagina to the clitoris: Has the medical world finally stopped ignoring female bodies?

Published

12 months ago

on



We don’t even have a good scientific term for the female anatomy that science journalist and author Rachel E Gross writes about in her book ‘Vagina Obscura’. The ‘reproductive system’ is the usual term, “which includes the vulva, the clitoris, the vagina, the ovaries and the uterus and all the tubes and plumbing therein,” explains Gross. But to her, this term is too limited:

“All of these organs are doing so much more than making a baby or waiting around to potentially make a baby. They’re involved in regeneration, immunity, pleasure, sexuality.”

From the effect that sexism in science has had on chronic conditions like endometriosis, to exciting new research that is looking at the ovaries and uterus in a new light, in this episode of Rethink Rachel E Gross explains the knowledge gap around the female body and how medicine and science may finally be giving it the attention it rightfully deserves.

    Hippocrates said no such thing. Hystetia was bad movements of the uterus which he thought led to some mental diseases – which was wrong but we're talking thousands of years ago.

    I don't get it, each time there's a video about vaginas or clits, it has to be some woman with an insane haircut and crazy hair colors. Am I missing something ? Is it required to be an authority in such a field?

    …One more thing. We, humans, are binaries. Male/female. Males have xx chromosomes, females xy.

The announcements from Geneva quickly trickled down to those manning barricades in front of city halls and other government buildings in eastern Ukraine.

In Donetsk, some pro-Russian activists remained defiant while others were sceptical.

“If everybody will disarm, then yes, if they will withdraw the army from here, then yes. I have nothing against it (the Geneva agreement). That’s very good, but the question is: will they pull out? Because we don’t have much faith in the statements of the g…
