I have come upon another falsehood promulgated by people who bought into women oppression fairy tales. If you come upon it, know that it is another falsehood. And you can use reasoning in the text pasted below to discredit them.

[Vibrators for hysteria?]()

The 2011 rom-com Hysteria popularized the view that vibrators are tools meant to cure hysteria in female patients.

This story originates from an influential book of medical history: The Technology of Orgasm, by Rachel Maines, which first appeared in 1999.

Maines argued that, in the late 19th century, doctors would often treat female patients’ hysteria symptoms by manually stimulating their genitalia. According to her, the vibrator eventually emerged as a device that would save physicians some effort when treating their patients.

However, more recently, scholars argue that Maines’s perspective was inaccurate and that there was no evidence to support her theory.

The study paper that contradicts Maines’s theory states, “none of her English-language sources even mentions production of ‘paroxysms’ [a euphemism for orgasm] by massage or anything else that could remotely suggest an orgasm.”

Yet such stories and hypotheses emerged precisely because 19th-century medical treatises did emphasize the connection between female sexuality and hysteria.Vibrators for hysteria?The 2011 rom-com Hysteria popularized the view that vibrators are tools meant to cure hysteria in female patients.This story originates from an influential book of medical history: The Technology of Orgasm, by Rachel Maines, which first appeared in 1999.Maines
