Cocaine, famously great for your mental health
Freud was a fan, and he basically invented therapy

After reading about Oedipus, apparently.
Umm, I've never jerked off a woman, but okay..
you uh.. . .
you looking to change that?
Do I get coke too?
That’s for patient use only! You’ll have to transition first if you want to use it.

This treatment definitely only applies to men. I don't think anyone ever "jerked off" a woman in the 1800s. Before then and afterwards, sure, but not during the Victorian times
The smell was unbearable.
What would be the better word?
Flicked the bean?
I don't have one and could still feel that.
Yeah, that sounds seriosly painful.
Manual stimulation was the term I believe.
And one doctor got so tired of it that he invented the vibrator.
Kinda kills the joke.
I think it adds more depth, and warmth
Ah yes, “hysteria”…
That does sound a lot better than therapy. Why don't we do that anymore? Cocaine and jerking off are still S tier relievers.
Correction: This woman
Best I can do is some mushrooms (possibly magic) and a washing machine on spin.
You gotta be careful, because if you don't go far back enough, you'll end up lobotomized in some kind of haunted house. Go too far back and, especially as a woman, you'll be labeled "hysterical" or worse then exiled or killed. You gotta find that sweet spot when you could walk into Wild West CVS and take home a bottle Morphinecocainemeth to help wash down the Bovril.
They're exactly looking to be treated for hysteria.
While the word know just means frantic and sort of crazed and can be applied to anyone, it's originally about having a womb. From the greek word for a womb.
You're obviously right that them getting sent to an asylum or getting their brain poked through their eye (although lobotomy wouldn't be invented for like 30-40 years from their date) would be horrible.
But she's also right that they did indeed used to "jerk off" female patients as a treatment for hysteria. Then the doctors got lazy about rubbing and fingering women until climax, so they invented the vibrator. I may be taking a few liberties with the story so Google it yourself to verify the historicity.
I really wonder about what people thought of that then. Did people really think it was a medical thing, or was this just a socialy respectable way for a man who couldn't get his wife off to pass the task on to someone who could perform the task with an air of medical respectability?
Or Hell, maybe it was a 19th century kink or swinger thing. People have always been freaky. At times in history they just had to hide it better.
It's really sad but also kinda fascinating that there are definitely people who could read this and believe it's evidence of the downfall of modern society caused by equal rights, instead of realizing that this bitch was just understandably tired and making a humor joke in an attempt to lighten the burden of having to face another day trying to roll the boulder back up the bullshit mountain created by the people who want to take away her (and everyone else's) rights, dismantle society, and cause it to collapse.
I mean... You can still have that kind of fun, it's just not called a doctor anymore.
Oh who does this now? Do they do home visits?
I would also never do therapy. :) But I also wouldnt do drugs.
And that's why you're not 1889.
Fun fact, vibrators were invented as a 'medical' tool to aid women.
Same thing as chainsaws. Go ahead, Google why the chainsaw was invented
Wrong in part. It was a medical tool to saw bones and shit. Not women. Sawing women is magicians work.
do women commonly refer to masturbation as "jerking off"?
Also this lady could just buy cocaine.
ALSO extremely weird to put a message from one woman while using the plural "women" in the title.
Yes because when men are involved, people definitely never overgeneralize.
So you agree it's wrong in that case and excuse it here?
Because I didn't say anything about men, did I?
It’s a shitpost, don’t read too much into it.
I believe women are strong enough to handle it.
