Twitter's gynaecologist DrJenGunter really hates this specific porn myth
It’s hard not to wish that Dr. Jen Gunter was your personal physician. But at this point in her career—IRL and online—having her as “Twitter’s gynecologist” is close enough. The San Francisco-based, Winnipeg-bred OB GYN, pain medicine physician, New York Times contributor and host of Jensplaining on CBC Gem is a force.
How did we get to this point, where there are so many myths clouding real facts about wellness? I think the internet is a great place for conspiracy theories, whether they’re medical or political. The wellness industry, to use one of their phrases, is very toxic. They have been able to take this idea of patriarchy, take the gaps in medicine and capitalize on it and re-package it as somehow empowering feminism—when it’s exactly the opposite. Lying to people about their bodies is not empowering.
But people who don’t have vaginas, who are never planning on having a vagina, can certainly still benefit…It’s funny, I’ve had a lot of dads reach out to me, how they were single dads for whatever reason and they were struggling to find information for their daughter, and they found my book really useful. Lots of people send me lovely messages like that and that’s the thing that keeps me going…. Everyone should know how everything works.
I think squirting is one really harmful myth [that comes from pornography] because it makes so many women feel like they’re missing something. And then dudes are like, “I made this other woman squirt,” and I’m like, “I don’t fucking care what you did with another woman!” I’ve said that to guys before, I don’t fucking care. Like, I’ve been with dudes who have a bigger dick! Want me to say that?
