Is Oprah's Women's Health Advisor A Misogynist? |
06/05/09
In addition to no longer being able to have an opinion on women's health (b/c opinions on abortion don't count if you don't have a uterus, even if you're pro-choice), I'm officially a card-carrying childless freak, and apparently if I had just been fucking HAPPY I never would have had these problems.
I was fine with the stress and emotional crash of the hysterectomy, that really was plenty to deal with. Thank you so much, Ms. Oprah + friends, for putting me in my place on top of it.
Fuck you, Dr. Northrup. All women do not fit in your tidy little boxes, and we're getting pretty fucking annoyed at everyone trying to cram us in there anyway.

Also, misogynist seems a bit strong. She talks about women's issues because she specializes in women's issues. She doesn't claim that men don't have the same issues.

Fibroids are directly related to estrogen levels and 80 percent of women over a certain age have them. They increase in size and occurrence when you're pregnant (higher estrogen levels) and shrink to nothing after menopause (very low estrogen levels). I'm 27, I have a fibroid, my mother had them, her mother had them. So there's also a possible genetic link.
This woman is ridiculous.

I use positive visualsation all the time to help me with my anxiety, and it really does help; but it's not the same thin, I understand.
