“women used to marry young and have a lot of children” VS “men used to marry women when they were still little girls and force them to be pregnant and give birth their whole life”.

“in the past women didn’t get education” VS “in the past, men stopped women from getting education and excluded them from all cultural spheres”.

“muslim women must wear hijab” VS “muslim men force muslim women wear hijab”.

“in this country, abortion is illegal” VS “men in this country made women getting abortion illegal”.

women’s oppression doesn’t happen by itself. women’s oppression isn’t passive. there is an oppressor class that actively chooses to oppress women, and the oppressor class is MEN.

“I don’t want kids so having a uterus is pointless” is the worst talking point I’ve ever seen and truly shows me how much we have failed women in the medical realm.

Did you know though that the uterus has important functions besides having babies? Those functions include hormonal, anatomical, skeletal and sexual.

The uterus works with the ovaries and tubes to produce health promoting hormones- which are estrogen and progesterone. This is why hysterectomy can cause impaired ovarian function or complete ovarian failure. Also, these hormones don’t just help the reproductive system but estrogen has been shown to regulate immune response and increases the brains serotonin. The uterus is the most powerful organ in the body. During sex it is responsible for the intensity you feel in an orgasm.

Ovary removal (castration) or impaired ovarian function has been shown to increase risk for heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, hip fracture, impaired memory and cognition, dementia, parkinsonism, mood disorders, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, adverse ocular and skin changes, sleep disorders, more severe hot flushes, sexual dysfunction.

The uterus has anatomical functions. It separates the bladder and bowel and keeps them anchored in their proper places. Hysterectomy displaces these organs causing dysfunction especially down the road.

Hysterectomy also destroys skeletal integrity since the uterus' ligaments are the support structures for the pelvis. Again, the RS is more than just “having babies” it interacts with the rest of your body and organs.

I know this is a “solution” for things like endometriosis but a hysterectomy with or without ovary removal is not a cure for endometriosis (endo) since endo implants / lesions exist throughout the pelvis. Many women still experience chronic pain even after this procedure.

Hysterectomy is one of the top overused surgeries (90+% are unnecessary) and women are not provided with the many negative effects from gynecologists. Women deserve to be informed and have informed consent. Educate yourself so you can be your own advocate and an advocate for others.

hi can you please link some sources to these so i can send it to people who keep arguing with me about how uterus removal is just as normal as appendix removal?

X -is not a cure for endometriosis

X -hormonal impact

X -general info

X -hormonal impact

X -hormonal impact+cited studies

X -sexual dysfunction afterwards

X -increased risk for health complications and long term consequences

X -study showcasing increased risk of bowel disorders

X X -organ dysfunction

X -study of pelvic floor collapsing, other organ dysfunctions and long term consequences

X -increased risk of mental illness like depression

X -heart failure, cardiac issues

X -general side effects

X X -Hysterectomies are more common than necessary and majority of them don’t solve the issue- like endometriosis.

X -90 percent of hysterectomies aren't necessary

There really is source upon source and study upon study showcasing the long term consequences of this procedure and how 1. It’s not necessary for a majority of women and 2. Is not a cure for their conditions but more like a bandaid.

WOMEN & GIRLS:

YOUR BODY IS NOT A COLLECTION OF PARTS.

also YOU are not a collection of parts and these statements are identical bc mind/body dualism is stupid and paves the road for sewing all our ~feminine insecurities~ to make cosmetic surgeons obscenely rich
