Summary

⚠️ Listener Discretion Advised: This episode contains mature themes and is not for young ears.

In this third episode of our special series on women’s health, we’re exposing the dark history of women’s healthcare—the brutal treatment of women, especially women of color, in medical practices. We’re diving into the legacy of Dr. J. Marion Sims, the unethical birth control trials on Puerto Rican women, forced sterilizations, and the way women’s pain is still dismissed in modern medicine.

This isn’t just history—it’s a reality that still affects us today. We need awareness, we need change, and we need to reclaim our voices when it comes to our health. This conversation is about educating ourselves, demanding better, and taking back control over our bodies and well-being.

If you’re ready to step into advocacy and empowerment, this episode is for you.

1:02.1	It is our responsibility to go there.
1:05.0	There are so many dark truths of women's medical history.
1:08.8	And this is like what they don't teach us. Women's health care

1:20.8	about. I know that I didn't until like in very, very recent years. You know, we're told a lot about
1:27.3	medical advancements and all these things that have
1:29.8	really improved women's lives, but we rarely hear about how those discoveries were made.

1:48.0	There is a piece of shit named Dr. J. Marion Sims.
