To be fair (well not really) they don’t know what a hysterectomy is, and wouldn’t be able to describe a “womb” in more detail than “baby spot”

Also, the “use X” people all built notoriety through legacy media affiliations, and generally suck at being online and engaging with people.

Very similar to how some folks talk about current jobs/wages and point to anecdotal experiences from the 1960s, but while relative wages and buying power have certainly declined and we should strive improve, the examples used are rarely representative of the time period
