  • A well said arsenal of arguments against prolific bs spouted by the asinine manosphere, misogynist pmc types, & common, often unintentionally sexisxt misconceptions parroted by apolitical normies. Listening to this podcast was a cathartic and vindicating experience for me personally. it's an absolutely wildly fascinating collection of facts, citations, and analysis from two very accessible and engaging researchers that everyone needs to hear ASAP!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anthony Valerio, "Semmelweis: The Women's Doctor" (Zantedeschi Books, 2019)
Q: How does his involvement in the revolutions in 1848 and 1849 affect his standing in Vienna?
His participation in the revolution led to both a spirited reputation as a revolutionary and increased scrutiny from those in power, including Klein, who opposed him.
Anthony Valerio, "Semmelweis: The Women's Doctor" (Zantedeschi Books, 2019)
Q: What were some of the factors that restricted the acceptance of Semmelweis's ideas by the medical profession?
The factors included the resistance of established medical professionals who were unwilling to acknowledge the findings of a junior assistant and a lack of understanding of germ theory at the time, which led to hostility towards Semmelweis's propositions.
Anthony Valerio, "Semmelweis: The Women's Doctor" (Zantedeschi Books, 2019)
Q: How does Semmelweis come upon the realization that washing hands can reduce the incidence of childbed fever?
Semmelweis noticed a lower death rate in midwife-led clinics compared to those run by medical students, leading him to explore the practices in both clinics, eventually deducing the importance of handwashing after observing the connection between autopsy practices and patient outcomes.
Anthony Valerio, "Semmelweis: The Women's Doctor" (Zantedeschi Books, 2019)
Q: Can you elaborate a bit upon Joseph Skoda and the culture of the medical community in Vienna at that time?
Skoda was a significant mentor for Semmelweis, and his influence within the conservative educational system was crucial, as he navigated the challenges posed by the community resistant to change and innovation in medical practices.
Anthony Valerio, "Semmelweis: The Women's Doctor" (Zantedeschi Books, 2019)
Q: What led you to decide that you should write a biography about Semmelweis?
Valerio explains that personal influences from mentors and educators, alongside his fascination with Semmelweis's life and his struggles to gain acceptance for his methods, compelled him to write the biography.
