Abstract

In this paper I analyze the phenomenon of normalizing and tabooing menstrual pain as an example of epistemic injustice. I refer to both types of epistemic injustice distinguished by Miranda Fricker: testimonial injustice and hermeneutic injustice. The social approach to the phenomenon of menstrual pain combines both. This poses a significant political and bioethical problem, as ignoring and misunderstanding the experiences of menstrual pain sufferers can contribute to delayed diagnosis and reinforce patients' sense of loneliness.

经期疼痛和认知不公。

在本文中，我分析了正常化和禁忌月经疼痛的现象，作为认识不公正的一个例子。我指的是由米兰达·弗里克（Miranda Fricker）区分的两种类型的认识论的不公正：证言的不公正和解释性的不公正。社会对经期疼痛现象的看法将两者结合起来。这带来了一个重大的政治和生物伦理问题，因为忽视和误解经期疼痛患者的经历可能导致诊断延误，并加剧患者的孤独感。
