At least one hysterectomy is performed every minute of the year, making it the most common gynecological surgery worldwide. By the age of sixty-five, one out of five people born with a uterus will have it removed. So, why do we seldom talk about this surgery? Highly performed yet overlooked, examining the paradox of hysterectomy begins to unravel the various problems with how we medically treat uteruses and the people who have them.

Get It Out weaves centuries of medical history with rich qualitative data from 100 women, trans men, and nonbinary people who had, want, or are considering hysterectomy. In compelling detail, Andréa Becker reveals how America’s healthcare system routinely deprives people of the ability to control their own bodies along race and gender lines. When people ask for a hysterectomy, they are often met with pushback: Are you sick enough? Old enough? Have you had enough babies? Will you regret this? How will your future husband feel about this? Yet this pushback is not equally experienced. While some people are barred access, others are ushered toward a hysterectomy. These contradictory recommendations reveal the persistent biases entrenched within healthcare.

Get It Out interrogates how little choice people with uteruses ultimately have over their reproductive health, and explores what these "choices" signify amid interlocking systems of inequality.

Seminar paper from the year 2001 in the subject Politics - Political Theory and the History of Ideas Journal, grade: 1 - (A-), University of Wyoming (Department of Political Science), course: Recent Political Thought, language: English, abstract: “Man is born free and, and everywhere he is in chains. One believes himself the other’s master, and yet is more a slave than they. How did this change come about? I do not know. What can it make legitimate? I believe I can solve this.”1 Regarding this quoted statement, Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Of the Social Contract or Principles of Political Right (in the following referred to as the Social Contract) of 1762 tries to explain and solve the problems of the society Rousseau lived in with the idea of a somewhat direct democracy and a radical popular sovereignty. Accordingly, the author’s theory is the counterpart to the early liberal Montesquieuian model of a state with a binding constitution, but also to the later classical liberal theories of democracy of John Stuart Mill. In general, Rousseau is known as a representative of the concept of direct democracy and as an intercessor of the identity of governors and the governed. Moreover, he pledged for the inseparability of popular sovereignty. 2 Taking this into consideration, Rousseau’s Social Contract – although censored and prohibited in his own time – remains a key source of democratic belief and is one of the classics of political theory. His theories were viewed so controversially that they were even publicly burned. So, the Social Contract and Emile or on Education (1762) became victims of the flames.3 This was, because basically, the Social Contract argues, that “the first and the most important consequences of the principles established so far is that the general will [volonté générale] alone can direct the forces of the state according to the end of its institution, which is the common good.”4 1 Jean-Jacques Rousseau: The Social Contract and Other Later Political Writings, edited and translated by Victor Gourevitch, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought), 1997, Book I, p. 41. 2 Manfred G.

Er will deshalb aber nicht gleich sein Freund sein, es sei denn, Snouki verhält sich wie eine Katze. Snouki mag Couscous und bewundert seine Stärke. Er gibt sein Bestes, obwohl das ganz schön schwierig ist. Können Hunde lernen zu miauen? Und bekommt man von dem ganzen Füßesauberlecken nicht Bauchschmerzen? Als Couscous ihn dabei erwischt, wie er sich heimlich wie ein Hund benimmt und auch noch mit einem Kind spielt, muss Snouki sich entscheiden. Doch keine Sorge, am Ende sind alle glücklich. Bis auf die Mäuse. Mäuse? Ja, die kommen auch vor. "If you want to be my friend, you must become a cat." A Book about friendship for children, in German and English for girls and boys aged 5 to 9.

Even so, that doesn't mean he wants to be friends - unless of course, Snooki learns to behave like a cat. Snooki likes Couscous and admires his strength. He tries his best, even though being a cat is really quite difficult. Can dogs learn to miaow? And don't you get a tummy ache from licking your feet clean the whole time? When Couscous catches him secretly behaving like a dog, and even playing with a child, Snooki is faced with a difficult decision. But have no fear, everyone lives happily ever after. Apart from the mice. Mice? Yes, there are some of those too.
