Why are women's pelvises shrinking?

[Anonymous]

Soo many women have pelvises that just don't flare out nowadays. I even saw how most women need c sections when giving birth now

microplastics

something else

Nah the high c section rates is caused by too many interventions in the natural birth process. The narrow pelvis thing is a complete lie that they tell women so that they can c section and not have to deal with waiting for them to birth. I've had doctors tell me sometimes similar about the shape of my uterus that it was gonna be impossible to give birth but I have given birth vaginally 5 times cause I ignored them. With my 1st son I had sign a consent form refusing a c section and that it was on me if I got hurt from birth 🙃 doctors just worried about getting sued

doctors are known liars. everytime you see a doctor expect a few lies

[Apple1996]

There's definitely a lot of bad doctors out there

[Asker]

the ego you need to try to be a doctor already makes you questionably helpful. my lawyer has a huge ego but it plays on my favor because he's trying to prove the case right for me

I don't think its microplastics, its the fact it no longer matters biologically speaking.
Lets say there is a gene that can cause this to happen that happens to be somewhat dominant. It goes to far and now she can't give birth, that gene can't spread because the baby and potentially the mother dies.

Except, in modern times we have c-sections saving both the baby and the mother which is obviously great. But it does come at a small price. The gene causing that to be more likely is now able to reproduce and potentially amplify its effect. If it doesn't matter due to the medical assistance there is no natural limit on it anymore hence it becomes more common.

Microplastics can be a concern to of course, but in this case I doubt its the primary cause especially since those are known to be estrogenic which makes women mature earlier and men more feminine. So if we take that into account I don't think its a contributing factor.

[Asker]

it definitely matters unless you're gay

[sawno]

I say it does not matter biologically due to the births still taking place, its no longer a life or death difference its an inconvenience. The disruptive gene would not be eliminated as a result since the survival rate is similar enough.

[Asker]

first of all why are you assuming it's genetic?

the fact is bad genes aren't as common as good genes. meaning it's hard for bad genes to change the gene pool.

we have proof that modern chemicals nobody had ever been exposed to before directly causes massive changes in our hormones. I've shown a few people this proof and you know what they say? "ah, I don't believe it." TF you mean you don't believe chemistry?

@Asker lol what? Did you actually read what he said?

[jennyPuss]

Because women aren't having children. Historically women with narrow hips died in child birth, leaving only wide hips to survive to produce more children. Now women are having fewer children and often surviving when they do, so they pass on the bad genes to the next generation

[Asker]

no offense but it's a hormonal issues, not a genetic issue. if you pump a boy full of female chemicals they'll develop breasts, a round head, and wide hips. endocrine disrupting pollutants are the cause

[jennyPuss]

And women who are predisposed to producing more estrogen genetically will more frequently survive because their hips are naturally wider. Are you saying I'm wrong because I chose the chicken instead of the egg? Or because you believe I'm wrong about the outcome?

[Asker]

yeah you're wrong for assuming genetics are at play. the chance genetics are the reason people are having hormonal issues is much lower than other reasons

[jennyPuss]

You're about as smart as the guy I saw write that Newton was an idiot. Oh yeah genetics has NOTHING to do with physical development in growing children. Go watch the discovery channel please and don't waste people's time anymore with your dumb ideas

I read low calorie diets can shrink your wrists, so it's possible low calorie diets shrink most if not all the bones on your body. In the past woman were skinnier not because they counted calories, but because their food did not have all these chemicals and preservatives and toxins like the food now. Now people eat chemical and toxins in their food but count calories to lose weight, meaning they weigh more in pounds, but have smaller bones.

The answer is clearly microplastics.
