    Why does to matter that it was named after two men? Why is that a bad thing? Are we seriously at the point that any maleness needs to be removed from association to woman related things, regardless of the relevance?

      Yeah, it’s called after the surgeons who first described it.

      Surgeons can be men, especially when we’re talking 1935 Chicago.
