Go 2025? They had to update medical guidance because male doctors are so cavalier about women’s pain. Glad for the women this will help but rolling my eyes at the physicians who didn’t listen as well.

Well it's about damn time. Cervixes are smaller than assholes and most people couldn't tolerate the feeling of an IUD jammed up their ass, so why should women have to tolerate the pain of an IUD being inserted?

It's amazing how consistently dreaded and traumatic this is for women and yet is completely preventable. It's either thinking that women are baselessly lying over being in pain (despite pain being completely expected given the reality of the procedure), or it's knowing that it's painful and still forcing them to endure pain. So much for women's feelings being coddled and valued over men's.

Also yet another reason why women should forego penetrative sex. The amount of discomfort and straight up pain that women are intentionally put through in order to do it is incredible. I imagine part of it is also the idea of punishing women for having sex, or at least having it the "proper" patriarchal way.
