This chapter on misogyny in healthcare is so sad. It’s hard to wrap my brain around how deep and seemingly mindless it goes if everything she says is true. I’m not sure about some of her solutions like free menstrual products and the Paid Prenatal Leave law but that’s more discomfort due to how I was raised than anything. Definitely disagree even more with my friend who thinks male doctors are better.

This chapter on government opens with the Anita Hill story. I had always been told she had viciously accused Clarence Thomas because she was a slutty liberal. According to Greco, that isn’t the case. I think it’s telling that she took and passed a polygraph but Justice Thomas refused. Also Biden’s behavior was atrocious. The difference between narratives is astounding.

I don’t know how it would be possible to fairly compensate stay at home parents in economic terms as she’s suggesting. I think perhaps what would be better is a change in how we view money instead of turning domestic work into monetary terms.

“Misogyny has more to do with ingrained prejudices against women than a pathological hatred of them.”

Oh yeah, me too. The ob/gyn I went to when I was a kid actually ended up making my problem worse because she didn’t want to believe there was anything wrong other than the fact I “wasn’t relaxing.”
I'm so sorry, Emma. That's awful.

I could kind of see the point about male doctors, but I'd want to hear her reasons. Lol Female doctors are sometimes the worst about treating other women poorly. It's awful. But men also can't sympathize because they don't share the same experiences. So it is just tough all the way around for women in medicine.
There really needs to be more health care research focused on women and their bodies.
