[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is revealing the astounding lack of knowledge about health and human biology. There is absolutely nothing "sexist" about this protocol. Women in their 50s can and do get pregnant. More women in perimenopause have unplanned pregnancies than teenagers. And yes, ectopic pregnancies can and do happen. What is happening here? Why is this offensive?[/quote] It is ridiculous that they think I don’t know my own body well enough to know the answer to the question: “could you be pregnant?” If I were there for ectopic pg symptoms of course I’d consent. If I am there for a knee x-ray, no. And I am the person who will experience the consequences if I am wrong, so the demand for a test to document what I already told them is paternalist nonsense. That’s what is happening here and why it is offensive.[/quote]
