       The Dark Origins of Gynecology at America’s First Women’s #Prison“Parvin raped his female patients by digitally ‘examining’ them. When he induced orgasm, he then declared their bodily response was ‘proof’ of a woman’s sexual deviance and disease.”https://jezebel.com/first-womens-prison-gynecology-history-1850405750#Medicine #WomensHealth #History

       “Incarcerated women were treated not just as uncredible and subhuman; their consent was irrelevant, whether for sexual encounters or medical experimentation, and their protests were shrugged off by their status.”“We can’t talk about the medical field today as purely altruistic, without talking about the ways it was complicit in dehumanizing captive women, who are still being mistreated today.” https://jezebel.com/first-womens-prison-gynecology-history-1850405750#Medicine #WomensHealth #History
