it’s wild they do that while you’re awake in an exam room
It’s a little hyperbolic to say, but the most dangerous part of a surgery really is the anesthesia. If you can do an operation without it it’s far, far better for the patient, even though it sucks to have to be conscious through it.

They only started believing that the cervix had nerves and is able to feel pain like 5 years ago.
When my mom was a kid they didn’t believe that children felt pain or need Novocain for dental extractions.
It was ten years ago that article came out about white doctors thinking black people feel “less” pain than everyone else.
Babies still don’t get a local anesthetic to cut part of their penis off.
Medical acknowledgment of the ability to feel pain is directly related to your proximity to being a white adult male.

Free cure for cancer.
but, nah.
While awful, i think rates would increase if they marketed this to males. They may not care about women, but they probably don’t want penis cancer or warts.
I went through this fight when the vaccine was offered to my kids. Barely 25% uptake because parents though HPV vaccine would turn their daughters into sluts. Churchie types.
I recently learned that hpv also caused oral cancer. So if you haven’t got this vaccine you really should. I know I had to ask a few times because they kept telling me it wasn’t worth it due to my age and sex.
It also causes ass cancer, dick cancer, and vulvular cancer!
In my research, I’ve found that most humans have at least one of the following: Mouth, ass, uterus, vulva, or dick. Many of them have 3 (or more!) of those things. A special few have collected the whole set!
Definitely a vaccine worth getting. If your doctor tells you that you’re too old, tell them their knowledge is too old. More importantly, ask them to note in your chart that they have refused preventative medicine against your wishes.
