Hoda’s Reviews > All in Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us About Women’s Bodies and Why It Matters Today > Status Update

Omg the heart chapter is insane. What do you mean mfs thought anemia was a disease for beautiful virgins?? And the fact that mfs said women’s heart conditions were just in her head when it’s their NUMBER 1 cause of death more than all cancers combined. Holy shit. And all machines (EKGs, angioscopy machines, etc) are based off men!! The first campaign for women’s heart health was in 2004 what the fuck.

Can’t believe female bicycling was fr associated with a masturabation addiction… even though the doctor cites that he’s seen no cases of this but he just KNOWS the two correlate. I have no words.

Damn. No way these mfs thought women should just not move because they’re so frail and weak. Then when women try to move them otherwise they either deny it, consider them exceptions or say they shouldn’t bc it’s unladylike. Also the medical textbook with the nearly naked women being groped?? Ewwwww.

Yikes. The way that doctors were both blaming women for being lazy but also calling the unfeminine when they’d be athletic is crazy. They were so desperate to just declare women as naturally inferior when they weren’t even using the accurate skeleton of a woman. Man the bones chapter is filled with a bunch of idiocy.

The boom of plastic surgery got such a dark past godDAMN.
