I ate a too hot omelette and burnt the roof of my mouth again.
Now it feels sensitive and fragile, again.
Why did we as a species, whom are omnivores, develop such thin mouth roofs?
Hippos can crush entire watermelons with their mouths, why didn’t we get a tough inner roof.
Stems from medical misogyny dating back to the Victorian era. Birthing on one’s back is easier for a doctor to observe, and obstetrics centers the doctor over the person actually giving birth. Everything to stick it to the midwives, who actually knew what they were doing.
