Ovaries and uteruses aren’t taken out because women got older and don’t need those organs. I still have mine! They are taken out if a woman has cancer, other health issues, unbearable symptoms and surgery is needed. I’ve never met a doctor who thinks women just want their organs out because they just don’t need them. I also never heard of women requesting their organs to be removed for no reason. Simply not needing it isn’t the reason some women undergo these surgeries. Well if a man needs organs removed, they are removed. Not because he doesn’t need it, but because of health problem. I don’t think gender is relevant here

I don’t like term “geriatrics mom”. I think it’s not an appropriate term. The rest of the post about organ removal I can’t wrap my mind around.
Thanks for this!
