[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jesus, the number of women on here willing to say a young woman should just deal with it and that she's probably just being 'lazy' is disgusting, and also very sad. The PP that said if men had to deal with this our view would be very, very different is spot on. And female doctors can be just as, if not more, dismissive than male doctors because many of them also buy into this worldview that women are just lazy whiners who should be pushing silently and cheerfully through pain to get along in society without causing anyone any inconvenience. They see women who admit they're in pain as letting down the cause or something - my sister went through this sort of thing for years before finally finding a gynecologist who would help her. And when she did, her life became so much better.

I agree it’s sad.  I think even some women can be dismissive if they assume other women’s periods feel like theirs does, or what their worst cramping feels like.  Just because your own period discomfort is manageable doesn’t mean that the pain OTHER women experience can’t be debilitating.  We aren’t all the same.[/quote]
