being a female medical student is just so tiring. oh, you want to study anatomy on a female model in the year 2025? good luck lol. 99.9% of pictures in an anatomy atlas are of a male. learning about the layers of the thoracic wall? male, and breasts are just an add on. every single distinct feature of the female body is just treated as a quirk from the default male body. general dosages of drugs or healthy percentages of compounds in blood? written about male bodies, if you are lucky data about women is given in parentheses. there is literally a sentence in one of my books that hymen is perforated during the first sexual activity, which was proven to be a dangerous myth many years ago, but I guess nobody cares to correct it. almost every picture we use for learning is of a male patient, and when we do get a picture of a woman, it feels like you are blessed by the gods. illustrations of female bodies? clean shaven, if you're lucky maybe you will get a millimeter of a bush. professors saying "rape is natural", "you, the female students should get married before the end of college, otherwise it will be too late", "it is in men's nature to be with as many women as possible", "having children after 30 as a woman is unethical", and nobody even does anything because everyone is just so desentisized from all the stress and being treated like emotionless robots by the system. I'm convinced medical schools are a breeding ground for sociopaths and misogynists.
idk, I am just so tired of it all, it genuinely makes me so sad...I just hope in other countries it's a bit better, I keep telling myself maybe it's because I study in Eastern Europe
