[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is meant by the misogyny? By downplaying women's birth injuries or what? Anyone who believes that a woman can push out a 10-lb human from her insides and be unscathed is seriously deluded. [/quote] It’s all individual. Maybe a large baby like that always does damage, but medically I have no idea. As someone who was lucky enough to have no birth injuries, I frankly get sick of the narrative that women’s bodies are “ruined” by child bearing. I had two 7 pound babies and am, in fact, completely unscathed. This is not to undermine women who had a different experience, but to say that women and mothers should be treated as individual humans, both by the medical establishment and society at large, rather than as some collective unit.
