You joke, but I’m currently studying the history of my area’s mental health system and people believed giving birth and lactating made women insane.
Rough time to be a woman. ☕

They were describing post partum symptoms most likely. Pretty rough stuff for some people. Some people can get ptsd from it.

Having 4 babies in 1 year in the 1800s had to be quite the achievement

Not impossible though. Two in January, two in November.

I’m not a fan of this use of “whom”.

Slightly smarter dumb-dumbs get corrected a lot so they just always use the “more proper” sounding one while still not actually understanding the rule

It’s like YouTubers who say “thee” because they think it’s a more formal version of “the”. Drives me crazy…

But it does rhyme with “womb”, if you’re composing slam poetry.
