~/phranck :antifa:Dang! This is how internalized <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#misogyny</a> goes through our life. I fell right into the trap!Found on Instagram with this comment: "Misogyny isn’t just loud. Sometimes it sounds like:‘You’re too emotional.’ ‘That’s not very ladylike.’ ‘He probably didn’t mean it that way.’It doesn’t just live in men—it lives in our mothers, our schools, our mirrors.Unlearning it isn’t rebellion. It’s returning to your full self.❤️"

BroadwaybabytoA former French surgeon by the name Joel Le Scouarnec was found guilty of sexual assaulting and raping 299 patients, mostly children, between 1989 and 2014.Why isn’t this bigger news? Misogyny in medicine is a huge problem, and this case provides a perfect example. He was convicted of child pornography in 2005 and yet somehow allowed to continue practicing medicine and operating on children. He abused them while they were under anesthesia and/or sedated. He kept detailed journals of what he did to them. He even assaulted his own nieces. Like Gisele Pelicot, many of his victims didn’t know what had been done to them until the police investigation uncovered the proof. They will carry the scars for the rest of their lives. He was sentenced to twenty years in prison because that’s the maximum allowed under French law. He will be eligible for parole in 6. Many of Gisele’s rapists didn’t even serve time. What are we doing? These were children, and they were abused by someone taking advantage of power and access. Someone they should have been able to trust. Someone who took an oath to do no harm. As Gisele said, shame must change sides. Tonight my thoughts and prayers are with those he harmed. They’re with all of us who’ve endured assault at the hands of men who hurt us because our patriarchal society taught them they were OWED access to us. To our bodies. To sex. To any part of us they want. We do not owe you anything. And we won’t be silent any longer. We will keep speaking out. We will keep demanding accountability. We will fight for the safety of all women and children and an end to the patriarchy. We won’t go gently. <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgdkyge198o.amp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvgdkyge198o.amp</a><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/mercigisele" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mercigisele</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/rape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rape</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/sexualassault" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sexualassault</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/france" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#france</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/joellescouarnec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#joellescouarnec</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#misogyny</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/misogynyinmedicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#misogynyinmedicine</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#patriarchy</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/fuckthepatriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fuckthepatriarchy</a>

Ned YeungThis is a useful figure: "over 70% of DEI hires are white women". It's important to realize that when these people say that "most people got jobs because of their skin color or gender who were unqualified", they primarily mean that women are not qualified to work. That half the population is unqualified to leave the servitude of home because they're women. (Note: I've also heard this argument used against women receiving scholarships for education because of DEI.)They make it clear in their arguments that they are including women but focus mostly on "skin color" because it's more acceptable to call their racism a legitimate critique of "culture" (or as the Conservatives in Canada would say, "Barbaric Cultural Practices"), than it is to say "women belong in the kitchen".(ie, like in the example above, when he says that non-whites have no work ethics because off their "culture". He talked about gender too, but made his point with racism.)Racism/xenophobia, misogyny, and homo/transphobia always work hand-in-hand, each covering for the other.<a href="https://beige.party/tags/misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#misogyny</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/dei" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dei</a>

Ned YeungAs expected from LinkedIn, lol!Edit: added more comments, including this doozy: "Only white people have strong ethics. It's not racism. It's facts."Any ethics experts want to chime in here?

This all so terrible. I had a similar experience after cancer surgery. The stitches in my stomach came undone and I developed a high fever and was in unbearable pain. Hospital staff said I was making a fuss and was just lazy. Until a doctor came and recognized it. I spent six months in the hospital after that. I was sent home as a palliative care patient, no longer fit for rehabilitation. This was in a German university hospital, in the German healthcare system, which they say is one of the best in the world. So it's not just about money, as these examples prove. It's skin color and gender that determine whether you're lucky or unlucky. Since then, I've had a disability and a severe burden in my daily life. What upsets me so much is that they can just carry on like this. This must be stopped. People like you and others who bring this to the public's attention are helping to show what a misogynistic system this is and the damage it causes. Critical doctors who see it this way must finally become our allies and have the courage to fight it. And it gets even better. Because I complained about the violation of my human dignity, a female nurse threatened to stop caring for me when she was on duty, which would have meant my death. She made a sign with her hand on her neck. And then she actually tortured me by refusing to give me treatment, pain infusions, etc. As a result, I ended up in the observation room of the intensive care unit where I had been before. The people there shook their heads, couldn't explain it, and I said nothing more because I was afraid for my life. I was alone because I lived 400 km away and I didn't have a partner or family. I'll never forget that. Since then, I've always been afraid and don't go to a hospital unless it's really serious. Something like that can't be justified by being overworked or anything else. This has to stop, everything...<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Medical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Medical</a> -Crimes <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/System" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#System</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Misogyny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Misogyny</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Racism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#violence</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Patriarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Patriarchy</a>

BroadwaybabytoWhen I had my hysterectomy, I was told recovery would be quick because I was young, fit & otherwise healthy.They were wrong. The surgeon made an error and despite signs of post op bleeding, discharged me & went on vacation.When I returned to the ER, I was ignored & gaslitThey told me it was “normal” to be in more pain 8 days after surgery than on day 1 (it’s not).They said “what do you want us to do?”They refused to run any tests beyond basic vitals, and scolded me for wasting their time I knew something was wrong, but I was young and hadn’t yet learned how to advocate for myself.The pain, swelling and bruising were getting worse with each passing day. I was dizzy, listless and had no appetite.I slept ALL the time.I was not getting better I did what anyone would do, I went back to the ER. Surely this time they would take me seriously?They didn’t. They made no attempt to hide their frustration that I had returned”. They made misogynistic comments about how “sensitive” I was & that being in pain was normal I went home feeling completely dejected and disrespected, but also starting to gaslight myself.Maybe it wasn’t that bad. Maybe this was normal pain. Maybe I did need to suck it up.I tried to force myself to eat and go for light walks. I tried to play through the pain.I was vomiting everything up and frequently collapsing from fatigue.I could not suck this up.My boyfriend had to carry me into the ER for a third attempt to get help They did the exact same thing. Asked what we expected them to do. Told us the pain was normal. Refused to call a consult or run tests.Thankfully my boyfriend believed me over them. He was certain if I went home, I wouldn’t make it through the night He refused to let them discharge me. He told them, loudly and sternly, that he was not taking me home to die. That they needed to do their jobs.They threatened to call security but he did not back down. Thankfully a doctor overheard him and decided to look in and see if he could calm the situation.When he saw me, half unconscious and white as a ghost, he immediately ordered tests. He told the triage staff not to call security and to take me into a private roomIt turns out my boyfriend was right. Had I gone home that night, I wouldn’t have made it to morning.I had a massive internal bleed and a giant infected abscess which had been growing since the surgeon sent me home.I was rushed to another hospital for emergency surgery and given 50/50 odds of survival. I spent over a month in the hospital, developed a second hospital acquired infection, and needed 11 months to fully recover. I survived due to luck & privilege. Had my boyfriend not believed me, I wouldn’t be here. Had he not been a white man? He likely would have been removed & I would have diedThis is medical misogyny. They didn’t listen because I was a woman. They thought I was being dramatic I tell this story because of what happened to Adriana Smith. A young black woman in Georgia who tried to get medical care for severe headaches, and was dismissed and gaslit instead.She suffered brain death at home because no one believed her. Because of misogynoir.To make matters worse, she’s been turned into a medical experiment because she was nine weeks pregnant and living in a state with an abortion ban. She’s on organ & tissue support being treated as a human incubator.No care when alive & forced “care” when dead Misogyny in medicine kills. It maims. It disables and traumatizes.Women are frequently treated as hysterical and not given the medical care they require.We often need a man to accompany us just to be taken seriously. It’s not right and it needs to changeI will forever deal with medical PTSD because of what I went through, but at least I survived.Adriana wasn’t so lucky, and no one’s survival should ever be based on luck, privilege or their ability to find a man to speak for them I survived due to luck and privilege, Adriana didn’t. What’s worse, due to abortion bans and dangerous forced birth policies, her body is kept alive on organ and tissue support without her family’s consent.

BroadwaybabytoHaving your concerns dismissed in the ER is nothing new to most of us, especially women and marginalized individuals. Misogyny, ableism and discrimination are far more rampant in healthcare settings than we want to believe.It’s even worse if you’re black. Misogynoir, which is the term given to the sexism and racism experienced by black women, is a serious issue in America. Black women are three times more likely to die in pregnancy because their pregnancy related concerns are frequently dismissed.This intersection of sexism and racism creates an exceedingly dangerous situation, and it only gets worse in states with abortion bans.My latest article is about Adriana Smith, abortion bans, Medicaid cuts and autonomy. The patriarchal and misogynistic culture of medicine ends lives. Abortion bans end lives.
