On a slightly different note but a similar medical misogyny line we are finally going to train drs to look for heart attacks in women and use different heart enzyme numbers for women instead of using male ranges

Thank you Retire. There’s a long history of traumatised women being further penalised by the mental health system. I hope this really does result in better treatment and better funding for rape shelters and support services.

I was wondering how many years have feminists being trying to get establishments like to this to recognise the damage they have done through their entrenched sexist male rights view of the world.

Well thats a start but what are they going to do about it going forward is my question

Thank you. It is good to see bodies like the royal college recognising that women might behave in 'undesirable' ways as a result of trauma, not because they are mad or bad.
