Allegedly being a male victim of abuse does not give you the right to discredit women coming forward with abuse. Stop projecting.
I think the core of what you’re saying is right - I get annoyed when people ask me that and I’m like actually, no, I don’t ingest a bunch of hormones for 365 days in a row because I MIGHT sleep with you on one of them,

Because a lot of people have terrifyingly sub-par sexual education tainted with Abstinence Only bullshit that tells them that condoms don’t work, in order to make them too scared to have a healthy sex life.
This does not surprise me in the slightest given what little pain mangement is offered to women receiving GYN procedures like colposcopies. They tell you to just take a few ibuprofen before the procedure and it does absolutely nothing for the pain of cervical biopsies. I can only imagine the outcry if men had to…
This is a scientific study. You’re citing an anecdote.
The belief that boys are “tougher” and usually “walk it off” is what plays into the practice of taking girls’ pain less seriously.
Pornography is the new sex education, providing a disturbing script about what men find sexually appealing and what women should do to please them.
If you are attracted to children get the help that you need and don't paint us all with the same brush.

Take a day off from your shit job and go get the good one.
I kind of don’t think you should regret the last two sentences.
Great that she used more intersectional language this time. But the backlash was somewhat unfair. She said women which encompasses all women. Women’s lives and experiences are so complex, you can’t address them all in one speech. And I do think she had a point, specifically in my experience with black men cis and queer…
How dare you keep a part of your own body in the way that nature intended!
You would think its not but ive received rude comments/stares/other peoples discomfort on behalf of my armpit hair many times
I mean, considering that Arvida Bystrom got death threats for baring her leg hair in a Nike ad, I think seeing women’s body hair is still relatively subversive. Nearly all the women I know shave it, and it’s still a taboo in offices etc.
No they're not, but women are socialized to think that they are. When my kid acts up, do my husband and I get blamed? No, I do. Sometimes by my husband too.
