"Birth Rape"... Yeah, It's Completely Absurd (Video).

If feminists want to keep pushing things like this then it won't be long before they cause the death of their own movement as even women will start turning their backs on them in droves. Just another reason why feminism isn't good for women.

One question though, although it is a topic of interest for me, is it a mens rights issue? Ironically enough this seems like a womens issue that feminism is blundering up.

Doctors generally have two priorities when it comes to delivering a baby. Extracting the baby alive and keeping the mother alive in the process. To make these tasks more difficult could lead to increased deaths of pregnant women.

This whole phenomenon seems distinctly anti-women.

I think women need to be more informed during the birthing process, such as doctors/nurses actually explaining what they're going to do before they go sticking their fingers inside people, but equating it to rape is pretty stupid.

Find a doctor you are comfortable with for fucks sake. Birth is not an unexpected event that can't be planned for.

I would be extremely angry if I had an episiotomy without consent. Still, I definitely would not call it rape. The procedure may sometimes be in the mother's best interest, but consent is still necessary.

If it was called 'birth exploitation' I would agree with it entirely, the process of giving birth has become adversarial, and there are better ways of going about it. But rape should be kept to a specific meaning which this isn't.

Some of the subtitle mistranslations were a bit hilarious.

Before you're all quick to judge this as nonsense, there was an era where nasty things happened to teenage unmarried pregnant girls. I know this because it happened to my birth mother.

These practices stopped 30 years ago, and only recently is it coming to light the abuse these girls suffered. In the case of my mum it was the weekly internal examinations performed by the doctor who visited that home. She would be held down by the matron and pillows used to stifle screams. Ask any pregnant woman or mother, is it normal to get weekly painful internal examinations? During birth a lot of girls were drugged without consent, including my mum.

If you still don't believe this stuff could happen, google "forced adoptions". There have been several countries (including Australia) where the truth is finally coming out.

But yes, in a normal delivery it is absurd to call it rape when the doctor is just doing their job.
