YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHow does it feel to be called hostile?
What about barren? Inhospitable? Geriatric? These are all words women over the age of 35 have heard in doctor's offices for decades to describe their reproductive health as they explore options for childbirth. The terminology has been changing, but for some, not quickly enough. When the culture is pushing for more humane ways to talk about women's bodies, how long will it take modern medicine to catch up? Brittany talks with Rachel E. Gross () , author of Vagina ObscuraAn Anatomical Voyage to understand what the use of these words reveal about our cultural expectations of pregnant people.
