The Anatomy No One Taught You
What if I told you that most women can't identify their own anatomy on a diagram? That the clitoris-an organ dedicated entirely to pleasure-wasn't fully mapped by medical science until the 1990s? This isn't ancient history. This is now. We live in an age where you can pull up a 3D model of the human heart on your phone, yet female genitalia remains shrouded in mystery, shame, and dangerous misinformation. The consequences aren't just embarrassing-they're life-altering. Women undergo unnecessary surgeries to "fix" normal anatomy. They endure years of undiagnosed pain. They navigate sexual experiences without understanding their own capacity for pleasure. This knowledge gap isn't accidental. Throughout history, information about female bodies has been systematically controlled, suppressed, and distorted. From medieval midwives burned as witches to modern threats against reproductive rights, the pattern repeats: controlling women's bodies begins with controlling knowledge about them.
