A pair of doctors in Australia want to do away with terms like “Adam’s apple” and “Achilles tendon,” with one doctor calling them misogynistic.
Dr. Kristin Small, a Queensland specialist obstetrician, gynecologist, and anatomy lecturer, calls for the terms to be phased out, saying they represent older generations.
“I think we have a personal choice to decolonize our language and these historical terms will fade out,” Small told the Brisbane Courier-Mail.
She still teaches the terms, known as eponyms, for exam purposes, but notes that there are alternatives for the “dead man’s name.” She says the centuries-old anatomical terms are named after “old men, kings and heroes.”

Friend,
Before you know it, they'll ask for Fallopian tubes to be named after Gabriele's wife.

I would assume there is already a medical term for these.

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”

These terms are based in history. Checks out they’d want to do away with them.

If she's mad over adam's apple and achilles tendon, but not raising a fit over
[generic old white man] syndrome/triad/pentad/disease/etc.
than she's just being stupid.
