ranking the best things I have heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)

2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:

3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."

4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: "Please remember that [patient] is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"

5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be put under GA] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*

the problem with autism is sometimes you want to do something (brave) but you need someone to gently walk you through each step so you know what will happen. and people don’t like doing that

Thank god I have finally found a phrase for this phenomenon that's been on my mind for years now.

So I've thought about for a while now about how frilly and elaborate fashion vs. plain and practical fashion used to be more of a class marker than a gender marker.

At least up until the 18th century and at least in most of western society (but also in plenty of places outside of western society too) nobles of any gender wore bright beautiful colors, wore ribbons, wore floral prints and pastel, wore makeup, wore uncomfortable pointy heeled shoes.

Meanwhile working class people of any gender were generally prioritizing clothing they could easily do manual labor in without hurting themselves or without fashion getting in the way. No time for a frilly wig full of ribbons or pointed shoes hard to walk in when you had to milk the cows, shovel sheep poop, feed the hens, plow the field, and hand scrub all of your laundry.

But between now and the 18th century I always knew something had just changed because now you look at the most powerful men in the world, and what do you see? Plain, flat shoes in neutral colors. Plain trousers in neutral colors. Plain sweaters or suits in neutral colors.

And on the other hand you look at a working class woman barely scraping by, and she's wearing pointed heeled shoes even though she has to be standing on her feet at her service job all day, and she's wearing makeup even though in most cases the men of her same class standing aren't, and her clothes are elaborate the way an 18th century man's clothes are with frills and colors and patterns, but now only her clothes are and not the men of the same social standing.

It's always driven me a little crazy, when why and how did this happen? How and why was there such a big cultural shift that elaborate and colorful fashion went from a class marker to a gender marker?

So imagine how happy I am that I can finally put a word to it because I finally found the word for this phenomenon: the Great Male Renunciation. The wikipedia article only skims the surface, so I'm excited to read up on it more.
