Another example is how men feel like “creep” is a slur women just throw around at them at random without considering how...maybe...they are creeps.

I’ll take a stab at it:

I’ve learned that men are far more concerned about the labels we give them than what they did to GET those labels in the first place.

It’s not really a happy ending if these dickbags get to keep their jobs after rather blatantly abusing their power. 

“I feel disrespected by the memory of people pointing out I was a deadbeat, rather than the fact that I’m a deadbeat, so I guess my only recourse is to teach my ex a lesson and get her arrested”

If it was a stand up sheriff’s department, they would do an internal investigation because falsely swearing to an affidavit IS a crime.

I’m glad this worked out in her favor; I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. But that asshat and his douche-nozzle friends got what they deserved (though not a firing). If only every domestic abuse case had a happy ending like this.

True statements are not defamation. Good for her.

The problem isn’t the dilators themselves-it’s the idea that these women are being told that every woman needs them to prepare before her wedding night which is patently untrue.

As someone who grew up in a overwhelmingly Mormon area, allow me to share anecdotes about the entirety of my formal sexual education. I had a session in health class my junior year devoted to sexual education. I was taught nothing about the formal act itself, on the grounds that the teacher asserted that “we already…

Yes but only because she doesn't believe in divorce so... Yeah.

The problem is indicating otherwise healthy women need them to “prepare” their vagina for the “ordeal” of normal heterosexual sex. No, what they need is a male partner who knows how to arouse and satisfy them. Don’t hear anything about Mormon men getting “premarital” exams.

I feel so bad for this person.

I had a devout Catholic friend who sincerely believed she’d be “rewarded” with fantastic sex if she waited until marriage. We tried to warn her, but her Catholic priest was no match. She told us the on her wedding night she’d be having non-stop orgasms and the next morning they wouldn’t be able to eat breakfast…

Or a complete lack of rub, as the case may be.

I’m glad most of this comment section doesn’t need a dilator to have comfortable sex. But I wish people would stop shaming others for what they need medically.

Mormons are taught that masturbation is EVIL and DIRTY, just like pre-marital sex is EVIL and DIRTY. Somehow they the EVIL, DIRTY, BARELY FORGIVABLE, EQUAL TO MURDER sex becomes magically OK once the right words are said in the right temple. Molly Mormons and Peter Priesthoods are absolutely not prepared…

The vagina doesn’t need to be stretched prior to first intercourse -- what it needs is to be excited and lubricated. I’m all for women (and men, and anyone) choosing to have penetrative sex for the first time by themselves with a safe and quality sex toy, but that should be about exploration and pleasure, not some…

It’s purposeful, to increase the stigma against sex. If you think it’s going to be painful or your body needs weeks of preparation beforehand you’re going to be more intimidated and more likely to wait for marriage.

the suggestion that a woman schedule a premarital exam ‘to confirm that her body is ready for sex’ and explore using a vaginal dilator
