This is SO IMPORTANT esp post-Roe. I will never forget how my grandmother who gave birth to 5 children (5!!!) once told me that she never really understood the reproductive system and I TOLD HER MYSELF. Oy, America.
Also I loved this: "According the New York Times, menopause is having a moment (another way to say this is that feminism has helped transform the medical establishment so that we’re now finally paying attention to older women, ffs it’s 2023)."
My grandmother had five too... when my mom asked her once why she had so many she said because she didn't have birth control. I think she was dead serious lol
