Gwyneth Paltrow plagiarized the fictitious "ancient Chinese" practice of vaginally inserted jade eggs UPDATED

The linked abstract sez they searched a list of 5000 jade objects, and none of them were twat eggs, therefore Chinese people never did this.

I really hope it is unnecessary to explain how weak that is as a piece of science.

As the OP correctly points out, the problem with TCM woo is its dodgy appeal to authority. But appealing to a different dodgy authority just makes things worse. The scientific procedure would be:

  1. Wait for goop to deploy a single scrap of evidence for their silly advice
  2. [irrelevant since we’ll never get past step 1]

If that ‘spoon’ was slotted, it could be used to remove hard-boiled eggs from the saucepan.

Don’t they sometimes recommend cleaning your “toys” in the dishwasher?

I’m reminded of when there was a spate of prank callers making fast food employees do ridiculous and often horrible things.

A housemate of mine once washed dirty, rusty, oily chainmail that had been saved from a car fire in our dishwasher.

ONCE.

Actually jade is the second most effective vaginal egg. You’ll never guess what the first most effective vaginal egg is!

Of course just the other day, i was advising somebody that it was a bad idea to wash the “skulls of your enemies” in the dishwasher. Bone is too porous.

If people like putting jade eggs in their vagina in the current day, I can’t be bothered to care whether they used to put jade eggs in their vagina a long time ago or whether they just started to put jade eggs in their vagina or whether or not they should put jade eggs in their vagina.
