You don't need to go all the way back to medieval times to find barbaric "medical" practices. Lobotomies were all the rage in the '50s. It's going to be harder to defeat this particular fad considering the all powerful political movement backing it, but this is one of the very few areas where I think we're turning a corner. As with every other problem people only give a shit now that women and girls are affected, and that's why the Europeans are putting a hold on transing minors.
Lobotomies solved basically all issues we tossed at them. Any problem was solved by turning the person into a mostly braindead zombie.
Which considering we still let Anti-depressants get prescribed to teenagers and way too many people, we haven't really changed in that regard. We just make them lobotomize themselves and pretend we have "progressed."
Yeah we aren't going to change human biology here... no one is ever going to give a shit about male suffering.
It feels manipulative to use women and girls as a political cudgel to get your way, but we are going to have to learn if we want people to take notice. Good leaders would need to ensure that men aren't being left behind in the process (and this is where the West just continually fucks up).
