Donald Trump from the pulpit of the presidency I provided some advice For pregnant women: “Tough” before taking Tylenol.
Nine times adjacent to the other four men, Trump should suffer discomfort rather than reaching for acetaminophen or paracetamol in a non-US country (paracetamol in a non-US country), despite being one of the few painkillers taken by pregnant women, Trump said.
“Fight like hell to not take it,” Trump instructed at a press conference Monday, which was intended to deal with autism. He added that if pregnant women absolutely have to take Tylenol, it would be something they “good for themselves.”
Many women and experts have heard of the latest examples of how men should bear.
“His use of “tough” was really infuriating because he dismissed the real dangers that existed in women’s pain and fever and miscarriage during pregnancy,” said Amanda Teetz, a women’s rights advocate and a social media influencer who is the 46-year-old mother of three in Wisconsin, in an email. “It goes without saying that the pain you can experience in a pregnancy that can debilitate you.”
Others have seen many men express their opinions without evidence that it causes autism or ADHD in mothers, children. I suffered It is frequently rejected by women. Women’s health and autonomy Supreme Court decision in 2022 To remove constitutional protections for abortion, Roev. A deep, personal change for Americans almost half a century after Wade. The debate is currently roiling state legislatures across the country.
“Last day, five powerful men stood together with WH and embarrassment. A pregnant woman was told “tough” through pain. The mother of a child with autism blamed the child’s condition. Posted On social media. “Can we all blame for kindness?”
Dr. Nicole B. Saffia of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center recommends that pregnant women generally take acetaminophen only under medical supervision, if necessary, at the lowest effective dose. But just as important, what’s missing from Trump’s message was that unprocessed fever and severe pain could also pose serious risks to mothers and babies.
“For decades, women have endured the paternal tone of medicine. We have driven a past dismissing symptoms as ‘hysteria’,” wrote Saphier, a contributor to Fox News Medical, in an email. “The President’s recent comments on Tylenol in pregnancy are a prime example. Advising moderation was sound.
Trump is not known for his sensitive touch on policies that women are concerned about. Before the 2016 election, he exploded with tough questions. Megyn Kelly from Fox News, later Tell CNN: “You can see the blood coming out of her eyes and everywhere you go with it.” He has Special playbook A female enemy, including a dropout in appearance, emotional stability and intelligence.
There is a long history of men who sometimes get wrong about women’s reproductive health. Former Missouri Republican Rep. Todd Akin sunks the 2012 US Senate campaign with comments about what was made up “Legal rape.” Others make the mistake by publicly and incorrectly suggesting that rape victims cannot be pregnant.
History provides a long list of men who make healthcare policies for women based on the beliefs of the times. And there is doubt about the power that women create and shape the fetus. A long-lost half-century theory has determined that “the mother of the fridge” – a cold or distant person – is the cause of autism in children.
Alison Singer, founder of the Autism Science Foundation, said: “He basically said, if you can’t take away the pain, if you can’t deal with the fever, it’s your fault.”
Trump’s “tough it out” advice is familiar to Mary E. Fissel, a medical history professor at Johns Hopkins University. “It’s a classic responsibility… over and over,” she said. For example, “maternal imagination” was a principle once thought to influence the way babies were formed.
“What pregnant women want, feel, and imagine is the idea of shaping the shape of the fetus,” said Fissel, who focuses on medical history in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Trump provided at least one moment of introspection during his press conference, acknowledging the troubling nature of his order.
“You know, it’s easy to say that it’s difficult,” the president allowed. “But sometimes, with life and many other things, you have to be strict with it too.”
