The Insect Court

Depends on what you mean by "actual evidence." Women talking about their bodies and experiences tends to be confined to anecdotes, because men and the institutions they control are dismissive or outright hostile to them. Until there's a court case or something you're not going to get much more than women saying "yeah that happened to me." Men can always reflexively say "no it didn't" so it just comes down to who you're more inclined to listen to.

So, no, in other words.

Given the very real existence of misogyny in certain aspects of healthcare, why double down on an urban legend? It doesn't even make sense physiologically, much less as a supposed routine medical practice that would in reality get any doctor attempting it fired and disbarred as well as almost certainly sued for malpractice.
