        Not that science/medicine don't have their issues, but saying alternative medicines are uniquely feminist isn't really historically accurate

        That’s really depressing. Historically women turned to stuff like this because they were shut out of education and their health issues weren’t taken seriously. It’s HORRIFYING to hear “Women have substandard medical care. Logically that must be because they like it!”

        If you’re talking about Wakefield, anti-vaxxers have been around as long as vaccines have existed. I was one in 1996, 2 years before his paper was published.

        Check out @bastardspod. There’s a lot of episodes about the fake docs who caused a lot of pain in the hopes of grifting a buck from these practices.
