The study later got retracted due to backlash but the fact that it happened at all if fucking baffling.

Don’t forget this study that instead of studying the causes or cures for endo studied the mental effects of the men in a relationship with someone who has endo.

      That makes me really, really sad. My partner presents with symptomology consistent with endometriosis and wants to get it investigated but has had shitty luck with male doctors so is now specifically seeking a female doctor, and the thought that she might have to deal with the same condescending and paternalistic shit makes me quite angry.

        I’m sorry I’m advance! It sucks! I hope your partner finds a good one! I’m limited by my insurance so maybe they’ll have more luck!
