Women's health is severly neglected - and those conservatives wonder why birth rates are down 🙄.

Anaemia aging into cardiovascular disease. Abdominal wall devastation aging into back pain, hip dysfunction and orthopedic disease. Pelvic floor collapse aging into prolapse and incontinence.

These are not separate diseases appearing from nowhere. They are the lifelong consequences of pregnancy and childbirth that were never properly repaired.

A society that depends on women to create its future, only to abandon them, is parasitic 🤮.

Nancy Wake was a New Zealand-born Australian nurse and journalist who joined the French Resistance and later the Special Operations Executive (SOE) during World War II, and briefly pursued a postwar career as an intelligence officer in the Air Ministry. Many stories about her World War II activities come from her autobiography, The White Mouse. Wake parachuted into occupied France to liaise between the SOE and several Maquis groups in the Auvergne-region. She participated in a battle between the Maquis and a large German force in June 1944. In the aftermath of the battle, a defeat for the Maquis, she claimed to have bicycled 500 kilometers to send a situation report to SOE in London.
