Intern 1: I just went into my first C-section!

Intern 2: How did it go?

Intern 1: I don’t want children anymore.

I feel like no one's discussing the significance of the circumstances in which Jen was bound. Jen was a midwife, she became bound when she showed up to an obstetrics conference. I find it interesting that Jen had someone under the guise of obstetrics take away her power and autonomy when in US history, the field of obstetrics was created through torturous "experiments" and "surgeries" on enslaved black women because they believed they couldn't feel pain. I'm so impressed by the parallel here, and how they are linking persecution of witches to other forms of oppression as well.

Agatha left Jennifer alone because she was doing “the real work.” Not just as a witch, but as an 11th generation root worker and midwife.

Because if she’d had a Jen instead of being isolated and alone, Nicky might have had a chance.

“I can feel the misogyny and the malpractice in the air.”

(Yes, it was about gyno).

November 25th is the international day for the elimination of violence against women. One of the cases where certain kinds of violence (sometimes very extreme, even having been considered torture by UN standards) against women and people perceived as women is normalized is obstetric violence, so I wanted to share this short clip about how healthcare professionals can begin to address it by incorporating respect.

Clip from the documentary “Dona, vostè no té res!” by TV3 about obstetric violence.
