That makes it sound like it was used for amputation...
It was invented to aid with childbirth
Yeah. Came here to write that. It was meant for the Pubic symphysis amongst others. Well, think about the structures you hit cutting there.
Yes. The structure they forgot to fully put into anatomy books until recently. Amongst others.
In other words: it would cut right through the inner part of the clitoris when used as intended.
HOW IS THAT BETTER
The baby comes out much easier in two pieces.
Whatever, king Solomon.
Oh, it's for the baby. Okay, got it, carry on then.
the next invention was the immersion blender
The crazy part is it was less painful then what they were doing without the chainsaw...
On the plus side I believe that was the same time they invented vibrators, and when women complained about how shitty everything was, they'd just go get vibrated to cure their "hysteria".
Here's a very upbeat song by Riki Lindholm about it:
