You might actually look into how long that was taught and pervaded into medical attitudes, how little women's anatomy has been studied compared to men's, and assumptions made about care for black people and women compared to white people and men, respectively, before making comments like this.

I don't have the time to look it up for you, but I will recommend the book Bonk by Mary Roach for the anatomy stuff. You will be very surprised.
