Let’s talk about a bias that’s been hiding in plain sight:
Medical misogyny.
You may not hear the term in a doctor’s office, but you’ve likely felt it—deep in your gut, behind the white paper gown, in the pauses between symptoms and solutions.
It shows up in subtle ways and loud ones:
When you’re told “everything looks normal” but you know something is off.
When your painful sex is brushed off as “just part of being a woman.”
When birth control is prescribed as a cure-all—for acne, mood, period pain, and everything in between.
When vaginal health is skipped in sex ed… and even in med school.
What Medical Misogyny Costs Us
The impact of this bias isn’t just frustrating—it’s dangerous.
Here’s what it’s costing us:
→ Misdiagnosed or undiagnosed infections (hello, recurring BV and yeast)
→ Hormone imbalances left untreated or masked with quick fixes
→ Vaginal microbiomes wiped out by unnecessary antibiotics
→ Generations of women taught that pain, shame, or silence are normal parts of the female experience
This isn’t just poor care.
It’s systemic neglect of women’s biology, discomfort, and intuition.
And we’ve had enough.
Your Body Isn’t Broken. It’s Been Misunderstood.
At With Meraki Co., we’re rewriting the narrative—starting with what should’ve been taught all along:
How your vaginal microbiome works (and how to protect it)
What antibiotics, birth control, and stress actually do to your ecosystem
Why cycle syncing and hormone awareness matter
And most importantly—how to advocate for your body in a system that often overlooks it
Through science-backed education, functional tools like With Clarity, and a community built on honesty, not shame, we’re helping women connect the dots and trust their symptoms again.
Because the truth is:
Your body isn’t confusing.
It’s been mistranslated by systems not built with you in mind.
Here’s What We Believe
You deserve more than a 7-minute appointment.
You deserve to be listened to—without having to prove your pain.
You deserve a wellness journey that’s based in science, not silence.
And no, you’re not overreacting.
You’re finally asking the right questions.
Let’s End the Gaslighting—Together
We’re done with being told to “wait and see.”
We’re done with one-size-fits-all prescriptions.
And we’re done with shame around vaginal health.
So if you’ve ever felt dismissed, disempowered, or just confused by your body—you’re not alone.
And you’re not broken.
You’re just finally being heard.
