Some further responses from Jen Gunter:
I explained how tweets about abortion were used to imply that is how I regularly tweet. I explained the claim of credible research about vaginal yogurt was false. I showed the claims about tea tree oil were false. I explained I had written on obstetrical violence 2.

I explained that personal anecdote is not scientific. I pointed out how the data on alcohol in pregnancy was mischaracterized. I explained the patriarchal roots of vaginal steaming and the biological implausibility of effectiveness and the potential harm. 4

I pointed to my extensive body of work that shows I have acknowledged repeatedly the gaps in medicine. I have written extensively on it and it is a theme in a lot of my writing. I am trying to fix these gaps by educating everyone, doctors included. 7.

My ire has ALWAYS been directed to those who would misinform women about their bodies or their health. I call out @gop, medicine, pseudoscience, and pharma to name a few. 13

I spent 4 days getting this retracted and I did it with science. The piece went through far less fact checking to get approved. So how exactly is me providing the proof that SHOULD have been provided to begin with bullying?

If you still want to steam after you read what I say, fine. It is your body and your choice. If you want an IUD, birth control pills, a pregnancy etc. your body, your choice. I wear heels. My body my choice. 19.
