Tone of Sims Portion seems off

The tone of this portion of the article seems oddly defensive of Sims, maybe not exactly correct for Wikipedia, with no citations.

“Sims developed his new specialty using the bodies of enslaved women, who could not refuse the extended glance of any white male that cared to observe any part of their anatomy. They could not "consent" in the sense modern medical research requires. No one did. Sims did not use anesthesia, for which he would be severely criticized 160 years later.

At the time anesthesia was itself a research area, and the first experiments (in dentistry) were being published. Using early anesthesia (in 1845, say) was much more dangerous and difficult than it would be a century later. In addition, it was widely believed that Blacks did not feel pain as much as whites, and white women proved unable to endure the pain.” 64.89.129.23 (talk) 04:29, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have to agree that this section is indeed "off". I have removed one passage I considered both irrelevant and objectionable (the "No one did." of the second paragraph quoted above). There have been other edits, some of which have made the passage impenetrable. For example, the third paragraph above remains, though the sentence that precedes it, which mentions anaesthesia, has been moved forwards and refactored.. Personally, I think this whole section could be much shorter since Sims has his own page, linked to here. Krozruch (talk) 14:22, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Posture of dilating digital speculum inserted into the vagina

Why do you have to show something inserted into a vagina for this topic? A diagram of female anatomy is enough to show what is being studied. I think there are so many other ways to show what “gynecology” is. Does anyone else agree? 155.186.209.213 (talk) 14:36, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
