S5 E6 | Baby Fight Club: Medical Doctors versus Midwives Death and Friends

Oh good, men are taking over women’s medicine. And history. And body autonomy. And political rights. And whatever else this list doesn’t have on it already. Ladies, get ready to hear the unfortunate true story of how 19th century men think the female brain works and how they forced their way into childbirth after a millennia of pretending they couldn’t hear babies being born. 

Look, medical science is great and all, and we truly appreciate modern healthcare, or we would if we could afford to have seen a doctor in the last 4 years. (This podcast takes place in the U.S.) But getting here…wasn’t always the best look. Dr James Marion Sims is in this episode, and …well, that’s your warning.
