I could say it was a pleasure. I read about this a while back and was absolutely stunned. The more I read about Sims, the more the phrase Nazi before his time, came to mind. Women's medical science has its roots in misogyny and slavery. Is it any doubt why even so many years later women are still fighting for rights over their body? Still fighting misinformation on how our bodies really work.

If it has taken women this long to get where we are, how much longer will it take to get where we need to be.
