Pinkpill Rx

*Correction: In this episode, I mention the Cornell 7 and incorrectly claim that two were suspended when they were actually expelled. The other five had to attend workshops and/or write essays. 

In this episode of PinkpillRx, we explore the medical gaze, why so many structures of female reproductive anatomy are named after male physicians and we also examine the fascinating case of the rete ovarii, a structure known since the 19th century that was largely dismissed as a vestigial remnant and eventually disappeared from many anatomy textbooks.

From the medical gaze to anatomical eponyms, from the history of gynecology to the rediscovery of overlooked biology, this episode asks the question: Who gets to decide what is worth studying, naming, remembering, and believing about women’s bodies?

In this episode, we actually have a good news segment before we dive into the history of rape and sexual assault—how it was traditionally defined and viewed, who the laws protected and what you can thank a feminist for. We also share several follower stories about abuse, rape and coercion. This isn’t a light episode, so trigger warning if these topics feel too heavy to hear.

NOTE: This episode is a discussion and critique of AI, not an endorsement of its use.

In this episode, we’re taking a look into gender bias in AI. We discuss how AI can reproduce and potentially amplify existing inequalities in healthcare, medical research, diagnosis, treatment, and hiring practices, including the ways women can be overlooked or disadvantaged when the underlying data does not adequately represent them. We examine what this means for women seeking medical care, women entering the workforce, and anyone whose life may increasingly be influenced by AI and algorithms.

In this episode, we look at the rules that have been imposed on women and then disguised as nature, morality, religion, or social order. From unpaid domestic labor and the expectation that women should tolerate pain, to the persecution of women who stepped outside prescribed roles. Who really benefits when women’s labor or limitations are treated as “natural”?

Where did the idea that women are “gossips” come from? In this episode we explore the origins of gossip, the gossip bridle (how it was used to punish outspoken women), and why gossip can actually serve important social functions. We also unpack women’s tendency to self-silence, the health consequences of constantly swallowing thoughts and emotions, and share studies on relationships, communication, and couples’ arguments.
