      Medical science regarding the female genital anatomy is so far behind (legit decades) due to medicine being so male dominated that plenty of women have post surgical nerve damage within the groin and pubic area due to how anatomists just didn't want to study it (cuss western male chauvinism shit).

    Didn't they make the same mistake for humans too?

      You might be thinking of the female prostate, which because some guy named it after himself was neglected for 300 years.

      Somewhere between (?)-(2/3rds) of women have a prostate. There has been almost no studies on female prostates.

      To the lake, the ancient lake, baby

      The snake, he's long, seven miles

      Ride the snake

    Actually such an important note about like, how science as a process an institution will embody the ideology under which it exists. We need to be careful about just accepting "studies," particularly ones that reinforce misogynistic or reactionary viewpoints, and especially ones that confirm any piece of "common sense" liberals like the tout.

    I remember joking around in a lab about this, crazy to see that we were speaking truth all along. Fun fact: male snakes are either right or left-handed, just with their dicks. Never saw one that was ambidextrous (ambidickstrous)
