It's All In Your Head: The Dangers of Disbelieving Female Pain | Bitch Media

We explored this topic-in part-because a Bitch reader asked us to look into it. Got a question about feminism and pop culture that you want answered, too? Tell us! As I was rolled out of surgery, I looked up at the blurry figure pushing my hospital bed into recovery, and slurred through my oxygen mask, "Did you find endometriosis?"

    I wrote a blog entry about a year ago about the idea of "female hysteria." It's no longer listed anywhere as a medical condition, but I think women are still feeling the effects of it. Our legitimate concerns, both health and otherwise, are still being dismissed as mere female complaints.
