Lolz, it really doesn't surprise me, an obstetrician having a sook at waning control over pussy.

It’s almost as if you didn’t read the whole article properly.

I don't have much sympathy for these boomers and their sometimes outdated interpretations of situations ie, why is this happening??? because women.

shocking

For the record, I barely skimmed it. Looked like a bunch of faff and wankery, sooks being had by people who enjoy power.

Feel free to offer an interpretation of the article, quoting what you think is relevant. I mean, not you Whiplash, I meant someone else. If you had balls, you lost them long ago. To a midwife maybe?

Re-read it. Skimming was on the money. Fight me.

Summary:

Obstetrician who is one of the world's leading experts in treating vaginal tearing (childbirth injury) has opinions. Among these are:

1. That Universities are currently producing neurotic fragile graduates who are not handling the stress of the medical profession well. Female graduates seem to be leaving medicine at a greater rate and if so would represent a lower return on investment of educational and medical dollars since they are spending fewer years providing services to the community.

2. That many midwives are not trained medical professionals and many of them are afflicted with unscientific and unmedical attitudes including a fixation on vaginal birth as "safe and beautiful because mother nature". Women are now giving birth at ages far older than we evolved to and are suffering terrible injuries during childbirth because 30 and 40-year old bodies were never intended to push out babies. This doctor is of the opinion that it is the duty of medical staff to make sure caesarean birth is presented to high-risk mothers as a safer alternative, and if danger of injury exists medical staff must make the expectant mothers aware of that danger and possibly obtain signed consent forms acknowledging the risks if vaginal birth is insisted upon against medical advice. That midwives appear to be pressuring mothers in dangerous situations to demand vaginal birth because mummybloggers on the internet wouldn't lie drives this doctor up the fucking wall and he's sick of that shit getting women injured and killed.

Uh-oh, White Woman Tears. As you may have predicted the midwives and mummy bloggers got their Twitter mob going and this guy is toast.


Sorry doc, you're a white male and you just got cancelled. Doesn't matter that the work that got cancelled was literally saving lives, that's not as important as a midwife getting her feelings hurt.

Had he the restraint to leave it at this then I wouldn’t have a problem. He’s criticising midwives because they’re not evidence based and left sex/gender out. They’re looney because their knowledge isn’t scientific not because they have a vagina.
Here his observation about graduates would have been something to legitimately look at but he for some reason he went further to declare that only women are affected by this Uni culture with his language like “increasingly female” and vaguely referring to differences between men and woman as a factor here.
Also if woman actually are more likely to drop out, fall ill and cost more to train then if true the reasons behind this should be discussed and investigated. What he’s done is played the Jordan Peterson don’t blame me I’m just stating a fact card which in the context of his discussion was irresponsible. He’s not some oblivious sperg, he’s a competent medical professional who would have known his communication implies they're dropping out just because they’re women and ignores the culture of and how medical facilities are run.
I think his “In fact, they’re more expensive to train in the sense that their lifetime work years will be less” comment is the most antagonistic because if true so what? Women have kids and as a society that requires this we should value and support this.

I don’t disagree with you. This highly-respected Doctor has made claims that should be investigated because if true the consequences are bad for individuals, communities, and society as a whole.

They’re not being investigated. He’s just been fired. His research has been discontinued, because scientific knowledge produced by an unperson is thoughtcrime.

White male doctors are very used to saying what they want to say and having a bunch of support spring up around them when they say something off colour. With tales of "but their work is so important (to my career, oh yeah, and some patients)".

People get fucked over by governmental changes, economic cycles, social and cultural shifts all the time. No one gives a fuck. Whiplash doesn't give a fuck.

But some uppity midwives thinking they can step to a man? Whiplash is there with bells on.

Claims that can be tested. If they’re true, solutions should be found.

Nah, just fire him for making the claims in the first place. Hell, this one time he hurt a woman’s feels so bad that she told a story about him hurting another woman’s feels so bad she cried. Literally worse than Hitler.

People of respect make claims all the time. Whole organisations of people make robust recommendations within their domain that get ignored wholesale.

Fucking doctor worship.

This one time, Andy Haden accused the Crusaders Super Rugby franchise of having a "no darkies" selection policy that was deliberately excluding Maori and Pasifika players from leadership positions, so of course nothing happened to the Crusaders but Haden was cancelled for saying the word "darkies".

Did he point out the fact that brown players cost extra to coach because you have to make time for cultural practices (except the one just before we play, that's cool.) And how maybe if brown players strived a bit harder they'd make it. But yeah, nah this no darkies policy is a travesty, cause sometimes there is a good one we need to let through.

Is that how it went?

I mean, I do appreciate equating ruby to the institution of medicine. At least in NZ they're fairly equitable in regards to public significance.

Sounds like someone wants to be a midwife.

I was gutted that my vocational guidance counselor never ever once suggested that "lactation consultant" was an option. Cunt.

Was it though? Is there any reality where StN is a successfully employed lactation consultant?

Problem?

Nike being sued for ... some Nike employees "misgendering" a trans man (aka a woman wearing a suit).

Thought crimes all round.

Even more is the alarmist bullshit around this. The woman's complaint was that her contract wasn't extended, she wasn't fired.

Sorry potter fans, J k Rowling is now cancelled

https://mobile.twitter.com/jk_rowlin...rc=twsrc%5Etfw

Notice the appeal to celebrities rather than engaging the with substance of the particular situation?

Hands up who else puts celebrity opinion near the top of their epistemological hierarchy?

Rowling will indeed find herself unwelcome in certain contexts as the result of that message and there will be conflict within organisations that currently benefit from her patronage.

We live in an age where no person can insist on another's ethnicity, gender, sex, religion or fucking anything really.

Grow up or don't.

Or move to China, except none of us would be in a position to insist there, which defeats the purpose, cause that's what we're trying to hold onto in our weeping and gnashing: power over others.

WAAAAAAYYYY to many people

Ricky Gervais is cancelled too, I’m sure that will go well

Good, good. The more idiots that out themselves, the better.

Men are not women

Where's the fetus going to gestate - is he going to keep it in a box?

What does it cost you (or anyone) to acknowledge someone's gender identity?

$1.05

Costs nothing. If you are a man who identifies as a woman I am happy to acknowledge that you do so and comfortable with addressing you by feminine pronouns, because that’s polite. Similarly if someone else came to me and said “I identify as Napoleon” I’d be all “oui Monsieur L'Empereur“ because what’s the point in teasing people who are living with mental disorders?

You've really gone off the deep end, thinking you're in a position to prescribe mental disorders.

Might as well get back to electrocuting genitals of homos and lobotomising women who speak up to much.

You're being a cunt Ab, and you're also just wrong, by the things you've previously pinned your credibility on.

Au contraire, feeling like your body doesn’t match your sense of self sounds like a shitty thing to experience and I have nothing but empathy and compassion for people who live with it.

As I said, I am completely happy with addressing you as something other than that which you physically present as.

Ah yes, the English way. "Our perceptions are reality, but we'll still indulge you savages, wot-wot."

Shitty experiences aren't mental disorders. I get you grew up in an era where non-conformity was indeed a mental disorder.

But I see you've stopped growing up, now you're just growing old.

Can you clarify which of my statements you’re disagreeing with?

We're disagreeing with each other? You're not offering me opportunities at exposition?

I suppose we could talk about the problems of this statement:

A man according to whom?

Can we agree that there are biologically-distinct sexes?

If I was to make such an assertion I would need to have an epistemological basis for it. My efforts so far have found that biology is complex and that any attempt at a definition of sex will find exceptions.

I've found there is a complex relationship between biology and the environments we develop in, to the point it is impossible in a general sense to delineate where certain things end and others begin.

I've also found that the issue is hugely political, and clarity is often muddied by people having a stake in what is determined to be true.

Ultimately what we decide tells us as much about us as the phenomena we're trying to observe. As such the most appropriate position I can take is "it's complex."

Ab: Fuck all that, I know what I know.

Right? Show me up if I'm wrong.
