The ones that make the male medical students in the class acutely uncomfortable and fill the female medical students with glee are the ones where I lecture on ancient and medieval medicine. It's all about wandering wombs (aka "hysteria" from the Greek word for uterus) and menstruation as a form of disease. Two things we still have to deal with in the medical and cultural communities not surprisingly. I admit I love giving those lectures.
Wow! What are your medieval history lectures like?
