weird and kind of random question: does anyone else find the term "birth rape" kind of...tacky at best?

[identity profile] ypsilon42.livejournal.com 2012-01-08 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
What does that even mean? Never heard it before.

I'm definitely not saying that women can't have unpleasant or even traumatizing birthing experiences but...birth rape?

lolol that "calorie concentration camp" article on the side bar

That article seriously scares me.

Yeah, "rape" seems like a strage choice of words to me as well. I mean, on the one hand I get that it reflect the loss of control those women might be experiencing, but on the other hand? Rape kind of implies sexual assault of some sort, doesn't it? And that's not really what it is(, even when sexual organs are neccesarily involved).

So, I would say, the term is at least confusing. But then again tonight is the first time I've heard it, so I am surely no expert.

'Tacky'? What do you mean?

I've heard of this before but not that much. I don't know enough to argue any point.

I just... Wow.

Yes, sometimes doctors abuse their power, but birth rape?

I don't even... Isn't abuse by doctor a good enough term? Or must everything be "rape"?
(Note, this doesn't apply to actual sexual assault cases, that is "rape", no questions asked).

Yes, I'm finding it tacky.

I mean, I get the idea of women having autonomy of their own bodies, and so on, but at the same time, I'm all for [responsible] Doctors doing what they need to, in the middle of a major medical procedure (and if you're in the hospital, I count it as a MMP, even if giving birth itself isn't) to save the life of the mother and child[ren] and/or to make the birth have less complications.

...Ew. Not sure if that's the best term for it, no. "Birth trauma" sounds like it'd be just fine for that without calling it rape. (Or maybe "my doctor was an insensitive douchebag.") The more that word gets tossed around the less impact it has.
