While editing this, I had so much fun working on the part where we talk about the history of hysteria. Which part did you like the most?
ma'am your editing is at next level good job : )
Dsm III was published in 1952. DSM V is being used since 2013.
Your editing was soo good love your work ❤️❤️
I always enjoy the intro part
Good work! It would be better if you could try to not use the words "women" and "men" in contexts not inclusive of the trans community. This video and the other about menstruation seems a little too female-centric keeping in mind the other oppressed communities who can relate to the same problem. Thanks!
Loved the cut to "yeh ladki pagal hai pagal hai" 🤣🤣 we talk as if gender bias is something that existed years ago when women didn't get to vote, but casual misogyny is literally everywhere.
Women didn't get to vote , when did that happen in India
Not in India but in the US and UK(first wave of feminism). And we were lucky that women didn't have to fight for it. But it's not like women (urban and rural) don't have to fight gender bias in various forms. Like when you specify a gender for tenant/PG. Gender bias is there, just subtle.

I have always wondered why "sehansheelta" or tolerance of pain, among others things, has always been promoted as a virtue among women. I always found it toxic and biased.
It's nice to see these toxic norms being called out and finally being addressed.
Yess totally agree
Mard ko dard nahi hota. So that way they kill the humanness of a man.

Aurat pagal hai. So that way they discredit the humanness of a woman.
@@maha_sage exactly!
True..... Even in regular household chores, men are put off if women complain or verbalise their tiredness and demand for their contribution. These men may otherwise be very caring, understanding and even be very helpful out of their own good nature. It's like the benevolent autocracy mentality. It's benovelent but it's autocracy, with the women not having any rights. And other women advise the women who are vocal to be tolerant and patient.
@@snigdhadas3507 I myself am guilty of ignoring the complaints of my mother. It sounded trivial and like she didn't want any solution.
But I've learnt and am more sensitive now. I didn't have to become a domestic mom to know. All I did was read, learn and think.
It is infuriating how little research there is on period pain. How is it that we still haven't found easy and effective ways to manage it?
Exactly! Went to a gynaecologist once due to chronic period pain . She told that I must bear it 😑. I was like I could have gone to my mother if I wanted to hear this, why would I come to a doctor?
@@Daisy-ml5ky I'm sorry you had to experience that. The sad part is this is not surprising at all. :( Because we consider period pains 'normal,' those of us who complain about it or seek help are told we're overreacting.
There are medications for the periods pain. But the medications if taken for prolonged durations can lead to a lot of side effects. So most doctors don't prescribe these medications untill and unless the pain is decapacitating. Till then hot water bags and some simple stretching exercises can do away with most of the pains. If they still don't go away you can always take antispasmodics..they are available..
That's cause our society has seen periods as something you women must hide and endure. I mean they will declare women as goddess but won't help them in curing the pain that they go through each month.
@@shivansh5637 they consider us as godesses because they don't want to consider us as human beings 😑
That labour pain is the only reason I don't want kids,even the idea scared the shit out of me
Ultimately it's your choice, but there are options for pain management these days. IV meds, nitrous oxide, getting an epidural. At least it can take the edge off. I gave birth Thursday before last and had an epidural, you cannot feel anything down there. There are risks but the labour pain was the least of my child birth issues.
@@desiladygamer2076 epidural is the best invention ever!!!
@@desiladygamer2076 but you can feel extreme pain after the epidural. When the epidural wears off you can feel the third degree tears on your genitals and everything else.
Same girl.....
Just adopt a kid cause they need acceptance... If you don't want any kid then understandable... Do what you want army 💜💜
I'm 16 and I slipped and fell from the roof of my house (10- 12 ft height) the day before yesterday and fractured my wrist and bruised the bones of my nose and ankle. I didn't cry or complain, but in the hospital when I was led to the x-ray room on a wheelchair, my vision was swimming and I passed out from pain. and my uncle said, "You know, it is just your fear"!!! (girls are frail and fearful things, huh?) Later on, I was like "What the hell"!!!
I hope ur fine
What? that guy is straight up rude.
Fell from a height and the pain is fear? Lol what logic
What the heck?that was mean
Also how did you even fall from this height?
File a restraining order against that dude

As somebody who literally pass out due to period pain and lend in hospitals very frequently, it is very frustrating to see doctors taking no effort to treat it and even telling me this pain will be fruitful later so don't worry just suffer silently. Some even suggest not to over react and pass out.
I feel really sorry for you 😞.
If I was told this, I would kick them in their balls, and if they reacted due to pain, I would prolly tell them "don't overreact"
Don't listen to those f****** people
@@hricha1199 they dont work for me sometimes even pain killers dont work. Now my parents have brought some ayurvedic kadha for regular use. So hopefully less pain since last six months
Don't overreact and pass out! Wow. Ok so those ladies who die of pain during childbirth...? What drama huh! And how inconsiderate that they just died like that without assuming their maternal role
I think about this all the time. Why is there no or very little medication for women's pain?? Btw the graphics in these videos are so good!
If you want medication for period pain try mefex. its really good and doctor certified.
There are several medications available. You just need to go to the right doctor
Who said there are no medication for women's pain, whether from a disease, labor or menstruation? They all have drugs specifically but if your start giving drugs to all women undergoing menstruation you will probably damage their kidney to an extent that they might land up in kidney failure. There are spinal blocks for labor pain but only if you wanna risk a back pain for the rest of your life. Try cessarian section if you wanna go completely unconcuous but beware of the increased risk of complications too. To administer a drug or to perform an operation is the careful and thought decision of a doctor after weighing the risks and benefits from the intervention.
@@amitshukla9176 Spoken like a true man. Create a workaround. If men had the same issue, it would have been a non-issue by today.
@@archrao2103 stop blaming modern medicine for all your problems. They're are a lot of problems those cure isn't yet available, and they affect both genders. But again, you feminists wanna mindlessly blame men for every damned thing.
the normalisation of pain when it comes to women can be so, so very frustrating. they simply say, ‘all women experience this pain, you’re not the only one.’ really? all women experience the same thing as me so i’m not allowed to even state that i’m in pain or seek help for it? what sort of bull crap is that? just because half the population experiences the same thing as you it doesn’t take anything away from your own, personal pain. it definitely doesn’t reduce it either, and yet people always seem to resort to these forms of moral counselling when women talk about pain. not everyone may agree but i find such treatment to be very disrespectful and patronising...
Yeah if we experience pain then we are seen as heroic and if women experience the same pain or even worse then it's normal why this discrimination?
I agree with you completely
Thank. You. For. Saying. This.
I had a C section when I had my daughter. The pain of that remains for a month at least. Getting up and moving is of course painful. On top of that I had my daughter whom I could barely lift but had to somehow manage to breastfeed her. I was ok with all that. But when the pain and sleepless nights made me "hysterical", my mom just said - I also has C section and I still looked after your brother and didnt complain. What are you complaining about. Suffice to say, I moved back to my house where I could complain in peace.
I don't agree with you apparantly.
No one:
Literally no one:
Some stereotype guys when they see something about period pain or pregnancy pain: hAvE yOu eVeR eXpErIenCed kiCk iN bALLs?
Like period cramps are just natural whether a girl wants or not! It's compulsory for a week in every month. Which is one week in four weeks! Does someone kick you every 7 days a month? 😑
Edit: I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. I only meant to say that every girl faces such pain but not every boy gets kicked. I'm sorry if I'm being offensive....
Bruhh i understand this but if someone kicks you too hard you can get chronic pain and feel as if somebody kicked you everyday of the month.
@@swaminathanj5110 yeah that's true but thats a hypothetical situation, it doesn't happen with every male out there right? While every woman suffers with cramps consistently for decades
@@vishisht4224 more than 60% of males have it ,not saying that periods aren't a problem but being kicked in the balls also hurts a lot and it has been proven that it is slightly less pain than child birth.
@Swaminathan J Period pain /child birth pain is natural and happens just because you are going about life as a female
Meanwhile getting kicked in the balls means you were being an asshole!
One isn't a choice the other is a really bad choice which could be easily avoided
Ikr! Idiots
It's wrong when people say that women's bodies are made to give birth, no, giving birth is another thing that women can do. It's not their duty to give birth. If the fact that women's bodies are made to give birth is true then we can also say that men's bodies are made for homosexual physical relationships. But we don't say that because we understand that it is also something men's bodies can do but may choose not to. So why do we dismiss this idea for women.
After anesthesia was invented, women giving birth were not allowed to be given anesthesia because the churches said that the pain of labour and childbirth is god punishing them for NOT BEING MEN. That's how horrible things used to be and even now we say that this much pain is normal for women. It is appalling.
'for not being men' wth ??
This is disturbing to read like seriously?? And still people type that religion thing even today.
I didn't knew they were told that they were punished for not being MEN wow I can't even imagine the oppression they went through at that time .
@prak Have you heard about Lilith. Before Eve, Lilith was the partner of Adam and they were created from the same soil and when God declared Adam as superior being, Lilith questioned as they were created from the same soil so then she was said to be possessed by evil spirits and said to be the leader if all evils and she was exiled and then God made Eve from the rin of Adam so that she can't question the supremacy of Adam. Thousands of women were massacred because they demanded equal rights they were said to be possessed by the unholy spirit of Lilith. You should read on this topic you will be shocked.
@prak You should read the entire story and there is video on RUclips "Where have all the quiet and submissive women gone" I bet you wil not be able to tolerate it for even a minute
True but the 'punishment' is not for 'not being men'. But for causing Adam to sin.
These are some of the responses I got when I told some of my friends that I don't want kids ever: "sab bachpan me aise hi bolte h shadi ke baad karna hi padta h", "have you told your parents about this?", "You are so selfish", "so you are the type of girl who is conscious about her figure n all haan?!", "Who will look after you when you get older?", "You will never find a guy who doesn't want kids", "You are saying this now but your motherly instincts will kick in eventually", "you are crazy", "pakistan chali ja" ,"let's see how long you stick to this I bet you'll have *kids* in a few years" and the list goes on....
I'm 23 years old and i never felt any "motherly feelings" towards any kid and don't think I ever will. I love animals I would rather adopt and help as many animals as I can. It's okay if I don't find a guy. I am well educated and I think I'll earn enough to look after myself and my pets. Sorry about the rant but I had to let my feelings out.
I m 35 and still dont want kids.as I m aging I m feel more comfort for not having them 🙂
YOU are the one who has to take care of the baby. YOUR body has to change due to pregnancy. It YOU who will feel the pain during childbirth, not your friends. Whenever my family or friends say that "you will change your mind when your body's natural clock starts ticking" I just say "I will press the snooze button"
@@mehboobhassan371 that's a good one honestly 😂

I hate prejudices against women which came from a place of ignorance and misunderstanding. When will they end??? 😑
I think things will get better as we have more women doctors!
Unless people start reading things related to it i.e. getting educated about it
@@gaurinawathe6856 there are many women doctors.... We need more women in politics and as lawyers actually
Prejudices don't come from books. It's in the family and moreover in the society. It doesn't matter if we get more women doctors/lawyers, many women are conservative themselves (in Indian society), they won't talk/teach their sons about menstruation and other women problems. It solemnly depends upon a individual, what's their take on these things and what they pass on. And well, just having more women in different sectors doesn't do shit.
One of my classmates was experiencing period pains ,it was visible to me to and she would make audible sounds . I adviced her to take a crocin ( red ).She is like "you need to experience the pain or else you will get reproductive problems ". I didn't bother to say anything back .I don't think I could or will change her mind .
Every girl with cramps would have been told that in the beginning. Apparently 12 year old kid have to be more concerned about popping out kids than the pain. It's only when they're older they finally give up and start looking for pills questions

@aena mustafa its not true actually . Our society does not tolerate men crying or showing weakness . Surely youd have heard this "dont cry like a girl be a man"/"real men dont cry" . Men restrain from showing pain irl
@@varunsubramanian5484 pretty sad, right? No one should be stopped from expressing themselves. No matter who they are.

That's why I am never going to have kids ..I am just too scared ..When I am on my periods I always have horrible cramps but nobody sympathies with me they make me feel like an attention seeker ..My mom always tells me you have to tolerate it .. it's not like you are the only girl who is going through this. ..her words makes me feel more miserable ...
Love this topic and the research done. Being a biologist myself, I can totally relate to the fact that women are indeed under represented in medical and biological sciences.
Love you Swaddle team!
The pain faced by women can be quantified by men only when they lose blood like water every month and go through the immense pain of childbirth and all the hormonal changes which they go through during these times.
To quote Rachel from FRIENDS "No uterus no opinion "
Tampons and sanitary pads are invented by men..., just saying
Men are being given birth by women ... Just saying
@@sumedhpagare1605pads were invented bt women during first world War when nurses saw the certain kind of cotton sokes blood better.....get the facts check before speaking
This is not overthinking. It is solidly backed by research and is a well documented bias. Watched a similar documentary on black women often being passed off for medical treatment. Even today among the educated I've heard the line "Women nowadays can't bear pain and want cesareans"
When the truth is doctors advice cesareans even when it i snot necessary just to get more money.
Generally caesarian is generally advised during any complications during child birth.
@SA V,I think cesareans can have post effects and complications like developing DVT(Deep vein thrombosis)So,I think the benefits should outweigh the risk.If the women has every favourable conditions for normal delivery then risking C section for it can't be advised.
i just wish that magically out of nowhere all gender get swapped like the trans

@@sgsan705 ohh thanks :D
The point is woman's pain are ignored and they are not coming to doctors as much men do. There comes the difficulty of diagnosing it early. The women themselves especially their in laws refuse painkillers during labour but we have to convince them ( a difficult process btw as they start lecturing about their pregnancy)so that we can ease the pregnancy.As for periods pain, pop paracetamol or mephtal when needed ,use hot packs,u need not bear that much pain.every human body perceives pain differently.Tablets are not harmful unless u take it unmonitored.
How do men not know that the pain is real and women have it worse?
Like aren't the babies born out of a vagina that approx. 1/20 of baby's size-
Periods hurt indeed wtf
Stay strong girls 💪❤️ you are a queen 👑
Very true bruh !!
Actually the vaginal opening is quite small but during the childbirth the size increases 3-4 times than the normal size often when it is difficult to get the baby out the doctors even make small cuts in the lower vagina to expand it lil more!!!!
@@mrgrizzly9034 yes and many boys have the audacity to say "Have you ever been hit in the balls?" Like does that make you have weird cravings, does it last as long as a week, does that happen every month? Like dude, live and let live.

I have friends who faint during bad period days. Menstruation itself can be so painful, let alone child birth. 😭
Great content and good editing. The stereotypical bolly song was hillarious in this context. Well done!
When i think about how important our mothers are, i always imagine how they gave us birth througj at least with sweat and blood.... So this makes Mothers more precious and i try to understand even when they dominate us and scold us, i think back how they bring us
you know some women themselves make it worse for other women. I heard one of my relatives say about another relative that she was screaming so loud while giving child birth. according to the lady, she was herself letting others make fun of her by screaming because she herself did not scream while she was in the same process. I mean how can you compare the pain of 2 people and their capacity to tolerate it n how can it be a reason for laughter. I told her the same. So she told me that I was wrong and women should tolerate such pain and not scream and allow other people standing outside to make fun of her.
see I have heard doctors say that screaming diverts the energy flow. a woman should try to channalise her entire energy towards pushing but I guess that's a different topic. no where near making others laugh on you. such is the mentality of women as well. so I left the conversation there itself.
So what about our mood swings during our menstruation period? Is that normal? Ppl often assume that I'm having my periods when I'm angry.. But I also have a mood swing of being angry. I'm confused.
Yes, they're normal. Women are more prone to depression, every time our uterus decides to expel stuff out: either its lining every month , or a miniature human. It changes bodily chemistry.
While women are on their periods they produce testosterones which is mostly there in men, that causes mood swings.

Saw your video as an ad. Could not skip. And here I'm now subscribing to it.
I saw in a ted talk given by a medical journalist that " gene mapping was done by 2009 but full structure of female sexual organs were mapped out by 2012 only and still many medical books are not yet updated even in ivy league schools. Also, Endometriosis is often dismissed by doctors and recently some female celebrities had to come together and fund researches to find solutions.

"Pop a painkiller (which is by the way very harmful for your body) or just get the pain out of your head!"
This is one of the most important videos I have watched on the Internet in the recent times. Thank you Swaddle :)
They are not very harmful... Take it small doses... Use topical pain creams for other pain...
Say No to drugs. Painkillers can be addictive. Period leaves and maternity benefits (which should also extend inside the household) should be the norm.
no no they are not.. opoids are additive not analgesics.
Wow. This is so amazing ❤ "Indian women" are expected to sustain the pain cz rationally that's how they get STRONG. Strong as MAA Durga as what the society specifies. This is something which every women could relate to. It's in your head, stop overreacting, women hysteria and some more blunders. It's time to change our perspective and unlearn and disown vocab which does not fit in logic of our world. Anyways, I love your videos. Keep going, keep shining! Lots of love and good wishes. ✨
I know people make fun of women's pain but during Labour as well 😐
I've had people dismiss my ovulation pain for years. No doctor even bothered to explain to me, dismissing it as normal, while in reality I was disabled for 5-6 hours every month.
Only my mom understood what was happening, and now I've learned to deal with it.
I resonate with this content so much. The doctors took almost 6 years to diagnose endometriosis. By the time I was diagnosed I was at stage 4 and guess what, endo is not diagnosed until you undergo surgery. And when they weren't ready to take the blame for the delay, after diagnosis the doctors prescribed pregnancy. When I said pregnancy didn't crack the top 10 of my expectations(also pregnancy doesn't cure endo), my expectations were to be pain-free, I was subject to ridicule, called selfish, judged, and asked, "why don't you want to get pregnant? every woman should experience motherhood." one dr had the nerve to say I was a baby-making machine and I can undergo a complete hysterectomy after I have had one baby. I considered taking holistic treatments and acknowledged I am my own doctor instead of considering fertility treatments only because my doctors wanted to see me pregnant.
One of the best Chanel in recent times.. Thorough research and logical points only. I learn something new with each video.
This is really true, women's pain are shown as they exaggerate them or hysterical but this isn't true and also because of this as this notion is very popular many women wait for till the pain becomes severe, to go to doctor
Not only pain but there are many things which women overlook which sometimes makes the problem worse
I don't know about maternal pain but sometimes it's really very hard to bear menstrual cramps which many people think isn't so painful but it is
Thats why i don't make boyfriend or fall in love with him once he leave you, its going to be a mentral trauma for yourself, so i stay away from them, i think selflove and privacy for women more important than getting married and having kids.
This video clearly says "No uterus , no opinion".
So we should have certain opinions based on genders??? Okay.
@@A.T1996 she is talking about women’s pain.
Then going by that logic Feminists shouldn't be talking about men or masculinity or we shouldn't have female doctors treating men. Ok, i got it , thank you.
@@SS-hy4dy No what she was reffering to was the whole list of assumptions made by men in the history (according to the contents of the video). Plus we didn't say we don't want male doctors. We just said that men shouldn't judge women's pain that isn't affecting them. Does our period pain or pregnancy take affect your basic rights as a man? It doesn't right? But toxic masculinity has a negative affect both in men and women. And toxic masculinity does lead to superiority complex amongst many men.
@@ananyaverma9599 Men didn't made assumptions, research and assumptions aren't same thing. This video is a big joke, not based on any facts, this channel mostly post scene from film's and call it fact's. Does your pain affect men's basic rights ? Yes because men are told to tolerate their mood swings and mind games, constantly lies. Toxic Feminity affect men, women and children as well. Anyways, "faminists" most of the time don't have much logical or factual arguments. If women make opinion about men then men will do the same.
i just need a moment to absorbed the amazing editing and it's so evident that a great research and effort is put into this!!
Small things can together show a great impact. The efforts in editing made the video so much interested. I totally enjoyed the video.❤️❤️🔥
they are doing a social work. educating the masses about the REAL issues
They overdosed a woman during induced labour and her uterus ruptured . Despite of calling for help they ignored her pain calling it normal labour.
She lost uterus and the baby.
Great videos, it would be great if you add some links in the description to read more on these subjects, thank you and great content 👍
I am a doctor and I have literally never heard anyone say " this much pain is normal" to a woman who is having period pains or is giving birth
Loved your work. I am a doctor and I would like to add that now a days it is possible to deliver with painless labour this procedure is called epidural analgesia. But this procedure may not be possible in every hospitals. Since an experienced anaesthesiologist is mandatory for doing it
Not just medicine or culture, we as women itself dismiss our pains.. don't we all go around acting normal during our worst cramps!? We're kind of expected to.. we can't reveal how worse it is, or else we'll be shamed... don't you think so?
I dont have motherly instincts but still i have one kid and another in my tummy. As i didn't discuss with my husband before marriage or at that time, I didn't think deeply. But when i thought , we were already married. Actually he wanted , so for sake of happiness, i obliged. Atleast in future now i will tell my daughter to discuss about all parameters before marriage.
I remember a doctor who came to take a class in our school,when I asked about menstrual pain ,he told me it's psychological. All girls who were in my class had menstrual pain and they were all like "so I'm imagining it!?!?" 😩
Really?? That must not be a real one.

I wish I were a stone in a pond. I am questioning my existence as a human now?!
Damn! I'm learning so much about everything from Swaddle instead of school/college!
Going through all the comments and I see, so less male comments. The society won't change if there are only women who discuss their issues with themselves. Topics like pregnancy and mensuration has to have an open minded view from both men and women.
Many men would avoid these kind of topics and then act ignorant. But all the male-comments I found here i am very proud of you. You people are the awesome beings!
Uh know.. my biggest fear is giving birth to a child.. but.. it's really hard to explain everyone.. men always think that.. it's our duty.. no matter how painful it is.... I know it's important to reproduce for our future generation.. but I think.. science should innovate some alternative of pain and also the other things related to physical health that women suffer after giving birth... So that it'll become easy for us..
Tell me am I the only one or there are some other also existed like me..
No, you're not alone. I feel the same way.
If a woman wants kids she should have them. If she doesn't, then she shouldn't. I don't think any one woman needs to worry about reproducing for the next generation. I know there are some countries where there aren't enough youth to take over for the quickly growing elderly class. But that's not on any one woman to fix. Do what makes you happy.
"....honed by human beings who are subjected to the same social biases & patriarchal conditioning"......so freaking apt.
I am going insane with these cramps and this video... is giving a bit relief to me. People need to understand women. They go through pain every month, almost experiences deathly pain while pregnancy, after 30 starts having pain in bones and many more. Women are suoerheroes adjusting with all these deathly pain half of their life, literally!
Hey I remember talking with ladies in my family about the issue of doctors undermining women's pain or not understanding enough because the research is less....kudos for talking about an important but overlooked topic💯👌👌
Swaddle, in my opinion, is the only hope for feminism.
Being a girl i can tell you, do some research about feminist history. You would never consider yourself one after that.
Totally agree to this.....I think about this after every gynaecologist clinic visit
I am in my periods now.... And it's fucking painful...*crying I always feel bad myself being a women every month during and before periods.... People(especially men) think women just need excuses and being dramatic but the pain that we go through is beyond their imagination...
Thank you for creating content on such topics... But the fact that more women than men watch this video is also sad
Also the taboo regarding taking medication during periods! Always boggles me
I can't thank Swaddle enough for bringing this video ❤️🌼
This is an amazing channel. Appreciate your efforts👏👏
It's fascinating how everything goes back to the history. We call ourselves to be progressive and evolved, yet most of our beliefs are based on the history.
I have been through debilitating period pain....and a horrific 12 hour long labour pain. Pathetic experience. I have one kid and that's it. They don't have any idea what we go through.
This bias in medical research is exactly why we do not have a handle on PCOS yet despite it being very common now. I can't even accept what my doctor tells me as the complete truth. It is very confusing to wrap your head around the condition.
And vaginal infections... Common (but not necessarily as big a concern as PCOS) and no doctors seem to care about a real diagnosis. They just treat it like a fever - symptomatically. I understand it's the protocol but it hurts them to examine and diagnose so they just prescribe generic drugs.
Another woman's disease - cervical cancer that is totally preventable and cause of which is known (HPV) is simply swept under the rug! The apathy is glaring
Ikr that's why I encourage people do their own research about their bodies as no one really knows how your body perceives the energy required for it's function/pain than you do so it's I guess better to do your own research on your own body
If u go to a doctor they may give some medications depend on the extent u have it,Since for pcos lifestyle modifications are necessary as well. For comparison sake let us consider obesity,the doctors do not simply prescribe anti obesity drug if u are moderately overweight.Only when needed it is prescribed.Drugs comes with side effects as well.
This channel is so underrated.You guys deserve more ❤️ kudos to your hardwork and thanks for making us aware of these things
Just one thought.... YOU ROCK!!!! 👍
I love this channel. Can't wait for another amazing video.😁
1:11 wtf did i just see 😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂
First ad that I have seen complete with my willingness..
Amazing content... And perfect way to put it up! ❤
Y'all should be on the trending page!! Absolutely love your content! ❤️
Lol, I see 4 men and 1 girl (I won't tag them or mention their user names) leaving hate comments and calling it constructive criticism, under every video, like damn they really hate women.
Can you tell their names
U wanna see🤣🤣🤣
I know 2 out of the 5 people you're talking about👀
I know there is a girl who has 2.0 after her name is doing this. Its sudarshana chakra 2.0
@@taylorswiftie3069 Sudharshan Chakra 2.0 is a GIRL???
I simply watch these videos just to see Miss Sachdeva ❤️.. great job overthinking like u
I have found more than one man lecturing me how pain killer for period pain is not good (that's one tablet or capsule in a month)
No one should have to go through such a painful natural procedure. A fellow man here.
It's really sad to see people undermine women's pain during childbirth to hysteria . Childbirth is the second most painful thing for a human to experience. The first is being burned alive.
Please don't name this as "overthinking" but as intellectual ❤️
Patriarchal people do not think thereby they are according to the same concept "fools" 😇😜
@H Khichar how can you be me and I be you? Its as simple as that.. how can both concepts be same?
And Yes as you said...'Establishing patriarchy..... making sure that whether it is followed or not requires a lot of' hardwork, unity...its an unified intelligence to subjugate the rights of "the other" by "the self" which is surely illogical 😂😂
I actually watched the video thrice. Because...., the editing is razor sharp and creative.
The soundfx is sarcastic yet cute
the voice modulation is apt.
Above all....
the research work behind the script is deep and interesting.
Each of the above crafts are competing with each other to grab the viewer's attention.
So... I watched it repeatedly till I could distinguish and enjoy the work of each crew
Normal childbirth doesn't lead to death. Its the complications and co-morbidities that complicate the process. lack of facilities on time. its not the pain that causes death. Please
Pain can trigger shock response (as it might if a limb were severed).
@@maha_sage But it doesn't cause death in anyway . Pain is just a nerve signal for any damage. It cannot cause death
@@77nateshswarooban.v27 pain becomes the remote cause and shock is the proximal cause
@@maha_sage Wait . You should get your terms right . How do you think pain is produced ? And nervous shock is something related to psychology and has nothing to do with pain .
There is no evidence that pain causes death .
@@77nateshswarooban.v27 I stand corrected: it's not 'nervous' shock. Error in noting down.
But I suppose you are not aware of what a proximal cause and what remote cause are.
From what I read it appears the medical professional are divided on pain study.
All the things this video tries to explain is important, but if there were suggestions for how things could be done instead of only pointing out the problems, I think the video would have been more beneficial. Hope to see more in upcoming videos. ✌✌
I guess the use of the word patriarchal was loose.. nevertheless, it's a wonderful and informative video..
Sure. Every utterance of Patriarchy needs to come with a 'not all men' disclaimer, as to not hurt your feelings.
@@siddhijjk3378 yeah
@@siddhijjk3378 Just like when women are blamed they all make excuses for patriarchy and shout not all women.
Love videos with Anahita in it! The way she speaks is so peaceful. And as usual amazing content the swaddle!!❤️❤️
Its actually the other way ...men exaggerate pain ...not women
How do you always manage to get content that hits us in the head!
Hey I am a medico
So title should have been why does society dismiss women's pain.
And not medicine because we have whole separate branch called as gynae for only women.
It's the society that needs to give some respect for womens pain.
Finally some sensible comment. Society is too busy targeting doctors that they do not see or care what actually happens in a hospital. I have never in my career seen a doctor dismissing any pain or symptom based on gender. I have never done that myself. Though I have seen malingering patients to be more commonly females, it also occurs in males.
If they are targeting medical science so its not about the docters obviously.
Like she said medical science itself is creation of human beings. So such things happened in early days when the Idea was new and still it happens.
The way you said it seems like medical science is something beyond imagination n they can't be wrong but in reality they r also Humans at that time they were only men.
Btw that docters are also part of the society. Being a professional in some field doesn't change the thing that you are human after all n you have personal views on everything. Their personal opinions whill always affect thier work and profession.
@@shivanisamyal3143 Have you ever faced such things when you went to a doctor? Or your friends? Like you went to a doctor for say an ear infection and he dismissed you saying its nothing you are just hysterical?
That makes some sense. People were like literally fighting in comments over nothing. Eh!
Even I never thought about it!being a female as well as a health care professional......so fresh!
I wish RUclips had love instead of like.. I wish 😪
I am someone who gets very painful period cramps . They were worst in my college days and I remembered I was lying on the class floor when a teacher and I maid picked me up and I was crying loudly. The teacher kept telling me, "learn to be patient Tolerate it you're making a scene"
Now there are a lot of overlapping things told here. If I may dissect them one by one.
1.Conversion Disorder is a real thing , please do read about that. The term hysteria is not in use any more.
2. You just cannot deny the fact that distribution of incidence of diseases differ in different populations with respect to sex, race or lifestyle.
3. It is absolutely true that gender discrimination is a part of maybe not all but many researches and very much race discrimination also.
4. Endometriosis has only one definitive diagnosis that is laparoscopy,hence the delay. To have a balanced view you should see other diseases predominant in men which are difficult to diagnose.
5. By seeing the video I'm convinced more that the most of the idea of medical science laymen have is from movies and songs. I've never faced any doctor who has said me don't take medicine for pain. I've seen non medical persons do that.
Where did the talk of race come from? We are talking about female pain being dismissed.
U guys are great. Thanks for thinking about it.
I love this channel!!
