Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Doctors used to perform "pelvic exams" on unconscious women all the time without their knowledge or consent. Totally legit practice back in the day.

You say that as if that practice has been abandoned

Abandoned? Definitely not. It's just not as "acceptable" these days. (Grew up with family member OB/GYN from the 1950s and was definitely the type to do that shit)
