  Too hot to exercise in this heat 🥵🔥?

Your pelvic floor is a hammock of muscles along the underside of your pelvis which supports your internal organs and plays a crucial role in urinary and faecal continence.

  In our current exhibition, Menopause: What’s Changed?, we ask visitors to consider the language we use to describe menopause and menopausal people. Language matters, it reflects and reinforces stereotypes entwined with misogyny, ageism, and ableism. How, then, might we rethink our language? How can we reclaim existing language and how might we introduce new language into the mix?

  Another new Cliterati member! Here's a pun for you: To Womb It May Concern

• View post

  What do you wish you had known before you had your first period? Across the world menstruation continues to be shrouded in stigma, shame, and silence. Millions of children face their menarche without knowing what it is, why it’s happening, what it’s called, or what to do. Too often, the answers to these questions are only found through an individual’s own experience.

  Happy International Day of the Midwife! The word "midwife" is gender neutral. It says nothing about the gender of the midwife. It comes from the Middle English "mid", meaning "with" and "wif" meaning woman - so the word "midwife" describes the person being *with* the "wife".

  This rather cursed screenshot was sent to us, and we regret to inform you that quite a lot of people seem to believe this myth, and related myths surrounding the vulva. These myths been around for literal millennia, even though there is no rooting whatsoever in reality. Let's take a little look at the history of misogyny and racism inherent in this belief...

  Now, in Galen's defence, he was under the impression that uteruses had a distinct left cell and right cell because he had never looked at a human uterus. His anatomical dissection work was based on dogs. And dogs actually *do* have two very distinct horns to their uteruses. However, bitches aren't born because they gestate further away from the liver, so Galen was still very, very wrong regarding the heat thing.

• View post

  Now to proceed with the dunking. Despite sensibly knowing that the uterus couldn't possibly migrate around the body wreaking havoc wherever it went, and that the clitoris (which was RIGHT THERE) existed, Galen was pretty much wrong about everything else.

• View post

  If you've not heard of Galen before, he was a Roman-Greek physician and anatomy whose work was *heavily* influential on medical sciences for a very long time - his work was still cited as authoritative in the 16th century. So anything he got wrong, physicians that followed tended to get wrong too.

  Here's a clear look at a male anteater's vagina, uterus and uterine tubes. The heart-shaped section is the vagina, the noodly bit in the top photo is its uterus, and the two noodly bits on the lower photo are its uterine tubes.

• View post

  To comprehend the vagina of the male anteater, first we must return all the way to embryos and how babby is formed. Every embryo starts out with two sets of tubes: the mesonephric ducts (sometimes called Wolffian) and the paramesonephric ducts (sometimes called Müllerian).

  Sally Ride was the first American woman and first lesbian in space, first flying in 1983. Before she flew, NASA weren't really sure what a woman in space might need, so suggested providing her with 100 tampons. For a six day mission.
