The medical journal "The Lancet" on Friday rolled out a new issue, with its cover dedicated to issues regarding period pains and "the cultural movement against menstrual shame". There was just one problem - the medical publication appeared to describe those who might relate to these issues as "bodies with vaginas".
Historically, the anatomy and physiology of bodies with vaginas have been neglected", the quote on "The Lancet's" cover reads.
The choice of words has left few people indifferent, mainly causing outrage and condemnation from users who slammed the journal for failing to use the word "women", which was seen by many as "de-humanising" females.
The Lancet has been accused of producing less than scientific editorials after Dr Peter Daszak, who helped brand lab leak hypothesis a ‘conspiracy theory’, recused from Lancet commission investigating Covid origins Peter Daszak was the brain behind a letter that was published in The Lancet, rejecting the idea of a lab accident leading to a leak of SARS-COV-2 based on little evidence.
