    Helen O’Connell. The first person to truly get an accurate representation of the full organ (in humans), two thousand and fucking five. She started her research in the 90’s. If you’re ever wondering if the medical system is biased towards men, there you go. If you’ve seem an image of the full structure of the organ looking this:

      Last week I learned about endometriosis, ane how doctors, despite seeing it on USG, pretend like it doesn’t exist, because “it’s normal for woman to feel pain”. I hate humanity

        I learnt about that too and apparently, it is treated as a problem in China, where there are quite a few cases.

        tl;dr normal ⇒ usual
        normal ⇏ desirable

        <rant> It is normal, same as it was normal for most people to die after being treated by a doctor in the pre-modern-medicine period.
        Same as it is normal for people to start needing eye correcting glasses around 25y (quote from a qualified professional doctor).
        Same as it is normal to be absolutely drained after just 8 hours of working on a desk, because it is also normal to have a closed-loop AC system with the only opening in the room (the main door) having people smoking tobacco on the other side. </rant>
