I think this article is very arrogant to tell all women how to reduce pelvic exam anxiety. When a brainwashed mother drags her 18 year old daughter to the gyneocologist, everyone around her seems to know what is best for her! She is eventually lured into the stirrups for unnecessary humiliation and violation of her womanhood. Her body "clamps up" because it has its own intelligence. It is screaming "No!" But she must stare at the stupid posters on the ceiling designed by doctors to distract women from the fact that they are being gently raped. I do believe unnecessary penetration by sexual organs is rape. Women are not as consented as they believe because of all the scare tactics and fear mongering these "caring" gynecologists and "caring" people like the misogynist who wrote this article dish out. Period.

This exam is barbaric, outdated, and so unnecessary. Most of the rest of the developed world is laughing at you American women. Women in Europe and especially Asia: Paying doctors to finger their pussies is the exception rather than the norm. The CDC recently announced its conviction that even the beloved pap smear has done so much more harm than good. The ACOG finally admitted that its recommendation that 18-year-olds be screened for cervical cancer will no longer be the standard. Please educate yourself and read about that! (Young women needing psychiatric help before and AFTER exams because of the emotional toll these clinical rape rituals take on them. Women needing to drop out of college because they were told they "might" have cancer, when that ALMOST ALWAYS >>>>99% was not the case. All of this trauma to save about ONE woman under age 21 all these years according to the reports!)

There is a reason intelligent women who respect their bodies do not want to be violated this way. Stop defending the medical community and your own insecurities that you KNOW you have lost control over your pussy by handing it over every year to "caring" doctors and encouraging other women to do the same. We can make our own decisions and not be treated like children when you give us unwanted and unhelpful tips to reduce white-coat rape anxiety.
