Really loose recollection and paraphrasing;

Trace contaminations in alcohol could lead heavy drinkers to pass out in a coma-like state for potentially days at a time. Given the frequency, holding a wake to be absolutely sure it wasn’t one of these poisonings became a useful custom.

And then of course, changes and regulations mean the contaminations are weeded out of the process, but the ritual itself persists because of human habit.

There’s definitely a problem with doctors who treat mothers as an obstacle to the process of birth, and belittle and humiliate them through the whole ordeal.

Going cold turkey on all medical assistance in response is insane. But frankly I have a hard time believing that the American medical system especially will work to fix things quickly from their end.

The real solution is getting more people back in the field, and more importantly, purging the misogynistic shit that is rampant amongst medical professionals. And this extends well beyond childbirth too of course, its just the most prevalent pressure point next to failure to diagnose cancer.

What muscle? It’s all fat.

Refusing to do anything against that scum was just as good as supporting him, in the end.

So yeah, I’d say that 2/3rds is enough to constitute a ‘we’ in this case.

It was here in Australia at a shitty Catholic college. Bede Polding, to name and shame.

Their zero tolerance was saying ‘no’ to a teacher. As if their fascism wasn’t blatant enough.

Saying it for the people out there who aren’t proactively paying attention to the shitbags running the asylum.

All the hooks have been latched on. Backdoors opened. The vaults copied and shuffled away.

Its been a long while, but the answer was posed very early on, and it kinda sucks.

Start over from the ground up. Throw everything out, don’t let it network into the new system.

So of course, it’ll never happen.
