    You’re being hysterical, dear. Maybe it’s that time of the month? I recommend Epsom salts and bromide. Sorry, I’ll explain again to the head of the house.

    Sounds familiar.

      If you’d actually read the article instead of jumping straight from the headline to the funny quip you thought of:

      Why? Because what she was telling [them] was [that she had] an episode of coughing some days ago that had disappeared, and what she was having at that moment was kind of like stress or anxiety or nervousness. So it was not catalogued [as hantavirus],” [Spanish health minister] Padilla said.

      This doesn’t sound like a discrimination thing; she literally described a cough that went away days ago and an anxiety she was feeling.

        So out of curiosity because I shit on MAGA for this all the time. This is a special interest story trying to make us feel a certain way isn’t it? It’s not about statistics or facts. It’s about a feeling. It’s manipulative.

        What is that message the author wants us to feel

    This wouldn’t’ be the first time medical misogyny was fatal.

    When professional medicine was new, a doctor (male) was about three or four times more likely to kill a pregnant person or their infant than the midwife (female), who knew about washing her hands. The AMA was a pioneer in early American anti-abortion activism. Not for moral objection, just to discredit midwives and clever-women who dominated reproductive care at that time.
