50 Innocuous Things About Being A Woman That Had To Be Pointed Out To Men
Interview
It has been said a long time ago, and most people realize, that men are from Mars and women are from Venus. There are plenty of differences, both psychological and physical, between us. In order to understand each other, it's important to have an open conversation about some topics we may not have a clue about. However, these days, when everything is easily accessible and we can get an instant answer to pretty much any question we can possibly think of close at hand, some lack of basic information about the opposite sex may turn out to be ignorance.
We have collected an impressive list of stories shared online by women to shed light on many common experiences shared by women, sometimes on a daily basis, that men often find abstract. Let's spread awareness and gain some common knowledge about 'the female kind'!

Precisely the reason that periods hurt. The uterus is designed to hold a 6-10 lb baby for 'months'. Not unlike a school backpack carrying 6-10 subject matter books. Like a backpack, there are 'straps' where you secure the bag - or uterus - to the body holding it. Except that a Uterus has more than two straps. All of the straps are attached physically to all of its surroundings and when the uterus wants to 'shed' it squeezes in on itself to massage loose it's internal lining. But, when the uterus squeezes in, all of those 'straps' are also pulled in / pulled on, pulling other parts of the body nearby in with it. Like if someone grabs your back pack and pulls on it, it yanks back both of your arms. Though, in this case, more than two attachments.

I hate when my dad tells me that period cramps "aren't that bad" and that i don't need pain medication for it. I take mostly after my aunt who literally can't move on the heavy days of her period. When did you grow a v@gina and an uterus? come on man, don't tell women how you think their bodies should work.

But the cramps are causing physical spasms, pulling on the various "straps" holding the uterus in place, so the analogy still stands. Plus the cramps in the uterus can start up sympathetic spasms in the colon, which is why a lot of women have menstrual diarrhoea.

Wrong. Hormones involved in pain and inflammation trigger the uterine muscle contractions.

...and those contractions in turn affect structures around it. There isn't only one cause of pain.

Just because a woman is nice to you, it doesn’t mean she’s flirting with/interested you. Literally the most basic thing humans can do is be kind to others and make them feel interesting, important, good about themselves.. but men commonly take this the wrong way and interpret it as being flirtatious or that it means we’re interested in something more. Like no dude, it’s just basic human decency, calm your tits.

I had a psychologist correct me when I told him that I knew very few women who had not experienced some form of sexual harassment. "That's quite unusual." He told me in a dubious tone. Same dude also told me that ADHD does not exist in adults. I already had a diagnosis from an actual specialist so between these two shockingly ignorant statements, I read him the riot act and walked out. Still fuming tbh.

It's a societal problem. Men are taught they have the right to women. In almost every realm male behaviour is excused and the victim is often blamed. If societies are based on misogynistic beliefs, then it won't change. Patholigising and gaslighting are the main tools, as is benevolent sexism. Look at the idiots here saying women and girls like the attention. Despite all the attempts at convincing us that's the case (male-driven religious education, films, series, etc.), we're clearly saying that we don't like being sexualised. Some women have internalised misogyny, and believe their only power and value is being desired by men. Thus is successful brainwashing by a sexist, patriarchal system.

My family (Mum, two sisters and one set of Grandparents) used to go on holiday with a long since bust company advertised as "family walking holidays" in the South West of England. A man in his 30s was always on these holidays too, staying in the same hotel (despite being a lone visitor). Was trusted by Mum to hang out with us alone. After "teaching" me about what sex was and grooming me he took me to his room and showed me his d*ck. I was 5. Knew it was wrong. Thankfully he backed off but somehow managed to wangle an invite to my Grandparents' house not long after as they didn't realise what he was doing. I was terrified and refused to be around him. He tried to contact me a few years ago from prison.

Got to this comment after I posted mine. This was particularly bad Gen X & prior. Society has been better and is still getting better about reinforcing the inappropriateness of this.To be fair, we all should have a healthy curiosity as children & kindergarten is often the first real social interactions with children of different genders, but that has to be fostered by the adults. Which starts with being comfortable to talk about our bodies and how they differ & are very diverse. Many parents would freak about a basic conversion on this topic. Some really tend to overreact and fling exaggerated allegations. For a lot of educators, influencers, adults in general, it seems best to give this topic a very wide birth. Which does a disservice to healthy curiosity and reinforces behaviors that can be inappropriate.

Through her funny comics, the artist aims to break taboos and challenge stereotypes surrounding women and their experiences. To find out more about Akshara, you can click here, here, or here and see Bored Panda posts featuring her work.
We wanted to find out about Akshara’s journey as an illustrator. In order to do that, we asked the artist how she discovered her passion for creating art that focuses on women's experiences. Ashok shared with us: “I have always loved art since childhood. However, I started illustrating on social media in my second year of college. I used my comics as an outlet for my thoughts and I saw that many other women resonated with the messaging. I had so many questions about the way we are treated in society. We, as women, are expected to grow up much faster than men. Even our prepubescent bodies are sexualized in schools as they ask us to cover up because it would ‘affect’ the boys. I found this really unfair and disgusting. Since childhood, we are made to feel a lot of shame and guilt for looking or living a certain way. I wanted to break these taboos and tell women that they can be who they want to be and there’s no shame in that.”

That unwanted attention isn't a compliment.
BeepBoop is Lonely (she/they) 2 years ago (edited)
here's a tip if you want to compliment someone, compliment something they can *control*. ex: "oh I love your jacket!" "your hair looks amazing!" "your shoes are awesome!" rather than things they can't control, like their body or face
Ken Beattie 2 years ago (edited)
I'd assume try to understand their response too. I don't think complimenting someone is bad, as the post says it's unwanted compliments. So whether you're saying "you're looking pretty", "I love that jacket" or "your made a great point in that meeting" you need to see how they take it and respond accordingly. If they're not obviously happy with the compliment don't double down and continue!

You getting a boner when looking at woman or girl does NOT MEAN SHE IS TRYING TO DO THAT TO YOU. Even if she is dressed up looking nice. . she is probably trying to impress her friends or a very specific boy or man and NOT YOU. Just because you feel something when looking at a woman does not mean that she is trying to make you feel that way. So many men just do not get this. They think everything is about them .. everything women do is so deliberate and targeted specifically to them. Oh she wore those short shorts, she knows what she is doing. Especially vomitrocious when it's a very young girl just trying to get some pimply boy in her class to talk to her and a grown man who is a complete stranger takes it as an invitation like "oh yeah she wants to do this to me. . she loves me looking at her like this." See also: men since the beginning of time demanding that women smile on command because "it looks good to ME" -- they are unable to imagine a woman existing for any other purpose than to be entertaining and attractive to me me me me me who is the center of the universe.

Thank you for qualifying the discourse with the “straight” identifier. As a gay man who primarily has gay friends yet still functions in a rather straight focused society, I know a lot of these topics don’t apply to us. I’ve never in my life thought of a woman being responsible for how I react, sexually or otherwise. But then, I don’t get a boner from them. Specifying the straight aspect is a nice little validation.

Asked which aspects of women's lives and stories the artist finds most inspiring to illustrate, Akshara answered: “Everything. Starting from something as small as how our clothes fit to the misogyny we face every day. If you look closely, even things that are considered small aren’t really that insignificant, we’re just told to brush them aside. Now I’m focusing more on body positivity and sexuality. We are expected to fit into an unattainable beauty standard which is almost ridiculous and once women try and to do that, they’re still ridiculed for not being natural enough. So there’s really no way to win this. I’d like to remind women to love their bodies a little more every day for the way it looks.”

Women's experiences can be multifaceted and complex. We were curious how Ashok ensures that her artwork captures the depth and nuances of these experiences. We found out that: “I try to make it really simple. I use simple language and illustrations to capture the eye. On top of that, I use humor that makes you think. Most of my funny comics show that our ‘quirky struggles’ are actually the result of patriarchy and that we don’t need to be perfect all the time. I also try my best to use inclusive language and illustrations to make sure people don’t feel left out or get offended. Most of my comics are lived experiences from my life or what I see around me which makes it much more personal. I’m someone who struggles with mental health issues and self-love. This helps me empathize with others and makes my art easily relatable. This also allows women to come forward to share their experiences without the fear of being judged.”

I had my first child when I was 20. Got pregnant at age 19, in college. I was on oral birth control. I had been dating my boyfriend for over 2 years. Not "whoring around" like some might think. (Not that there's anything wrong with that if everyone is an adult and things are consensual) Anyway, I got strep throat, went to the doctor and was given an antibiotic that significantly reduced the efficacy of my birth control pills, and this was not told to me, a 19-year-old college student. There are ways people get pregnant that are not planned and not necessarily anyone's fault. My son is now grown, happy, and I love him dearly, but I just wanted to give people a different example of how women end up pregnant and it's not careless. They're actually taking precautions. I thought about abortion briefly and did not have one (I am 1 million percent pro-choice) but it could have gone a different way, and I can see women needing to make choices that are the best for their lives.

I've always found the "life at conception" argument strange given the odds of a pregnancy making it to term are lowest at conception. It's really an argument founded on a gross misunderstanding of how pregnancy works and how many, many things have to go right for it to result in a living baby.

That I can’t just “put it in my pocket.” There’s no pockets. Yeah, I know it looks like a pocket, it’s not. Ok yes this one DOES have a pocket, that can fit exactly three quarters OR one chapstick, and even those aren’t guaranteed not to fall out if I bend over, switch between standing/sitting, remove/adjust the clothing to use the washroom, or just *walk.* People who have only ever worn men’s clothing take their pockets for granted. My 2-year-old nephew has onesies with functional pockets, like wtaf?

I had this discussion with a co worker last year. He asked me why I bought a flip phone and I told him that I want it to fit into my pockets. He then said that he has no problems putting his Iphone in his jeans pockets. Well, I wore a jeans as well that day, and I asked him to put his hand into his front pocket. His whole hand up over his wrist fit in, then I shoved my hand as deep as possible into my pocket and could not even fit my whole hand in it and I don't have big hands. He was flabbergasted and could not wrap his head around the fact that pockets in women's pant are way smaller than his.

Sometimes I think its a conspiracy between clothing companies and purse/handbag manufacturers. If you've got no functional pockets, you generally need to carry a handbag. What better way to create a need for handbags than making clothes with no pockets, and claiming putting pockets in would ruin the line, or distort the fit, or upset the balance of the outfit? So you buy a tiny handbag just big enough to hold money, your phone, maybe a tissue and lipstick or spare tampon, and then you have to worry about it getting stolen on a night out. So you buy a cross body tiny bag with a strap so it's more secure, and then you have to cope with unwanted comments about how the cross body strap really emphasises the size of your bre*sts because the strap falls exactly between them.

As an illustrator, Akshara’s work may also be influential in shaping perceptions and attitudes. We wanted to find out what positive changes the artist hopes to inspire through your illustrations of women's stories. The comic artist said: “I don’t want to attack anyone for their perception, it’s just something we’re taught since childhood, that women are inferior and the weaker sex. Instead, I want to help everyone understand how untrue that is and that we can change the way we think. That’s why I use humor and cute little illustrations. It makes the subject simple and friendly instead of being too preachy. It’s hard to break out of these norms created by society overnight because we’re so used to them. All we can do is change one step at a time.”

I was only pregnant for 8 weeks but spent 2 weeks of that with hyperemesis - eventually had to be admitted to the hospital for dehydration.

Or something like that, please do your own research because I’m just going off a 9 year old memory!) If you’ve never spent 45 minutes straight dry heaving harder than you ever have before, like your body is trying to get rid of your own empty stomach and you’re heaving so hard and frequently that you can’t even breathe enough (after almost 48 hours of no sleep because you’re puking/dry heaving every 15 mins)…….that’s only a small fraction of what so many women go through and it still scared the f out of me.

Lastly, Ashok shared more about the motivation for creating her art: “I want to initiate healthy conversations about our bodies and sexuality which is still looked down upon in 2023. Women are still being called names just for existing. A lot of people push this toxic positivity onto people where one’s expected to be happy and love themselves all the time. But we don’t live in a perfect world and the amount of pressure we face to be perfect is just too much. I understand how hard it can be to love ourselves for the way we look when the media is constantly pushing these beauty standards onto us. Self-love is a very slow process and it’s very hard to attain. I think influencers need to be mindful of that as well as mental health issues. Most of us cannot wake up and choose to be happy. It’s almost a privilege. I want to tell people that we deserve to be happy regardless of the way we look, we are much more than that. We don’t have to be at our best all the time. It’s okay to have bad days. We’re human after all. I know that I can’t change the way the world sees us but I would like to try to change the way we see ourselves.”

It's due to bacteria growth- it can happen after surgery in wounds etc, so basically if you leave a tampon in for too long, bacteria can grow, and this can cause a serious staph infection.

My daughters best friend had this, she was around 17/18 at the time. She went out on the lash, used to quite a bit, was on her period and woke up the next day with a hangover and without the tampon, assuming that she had removed it the night before. Cut to two weeks later after getting sicker and sicker she collapsed and had to have an ambulance come to get her, they found the tampon after about 12 hours but it was so ill they did not know if she would pull through. She was then in a coma for 3 weeks. That young and in a coma because of a tampon. She did wake up and for a few months needed help with motor control, things like walking were difficult because of the toxic shock so she had physio for a while. She did pull through and is physically ok, now she suffers from PTSD. I have raised my daughters to use pads because of this. It is honestly no joke. I don't think men really appreciate the śhít a woman's body goes through.

Reusable menstrual cups are amazing. The cost has been going down, so they aren't much more than a box or two of tampons and the risk of TSS is almost non-existent (still gotta empty it daily and wash it with soapy water though). I've only rarely had leaks from it not being in quite right, and none have been enough to feel like I need a backup pad. Technically it suggests replacing it once a year, but it hasn't shown any signs of wear in the 3 years since I last bought one. I always recommend them on these posts because its been a game changer for me.

My cervix is super high, so when I put in a cup, I can't reach it to pull it back out, or else it suctions so hard I can't get it out, so my huge recommendation to anyone who struggles similarly is period underwear. Find ones that are fully body-safe with high absorbency. My periods are extremely heavy for the first couple of days, and period underwear are the only thing that have never, ever leaked for me. I sometimes freak out when I am away from home on a heavy day, SURE that they are leaking, and they just never are. Be aware some period underwear are much less absorbent and they can leak pretty easily. Find the ones that work for you, if you try them.

Normal, everyday things like using a public restroom, or showering, take us longer and are more difficult due to a complex system of "little things" that just never work out in our favor - that even we don't notice until we're middle-aged. Public bathroom stalls are so tiny, it's hard for us to move around with our phones or keys in our hands the whole time, or our purses, or children. (...and why would I be holding my phone in one hand, and my keys in the other hand, the whole time while using the toilet? Because I don't have any pockets! ...and why don't I use a purse? Because they hurt and are uncomfortable and neck straps burn my shoulders, are easy to set down and lose, and I also just don't want to! And it shouldn't matter!) Showering is ridiculous because we have large shampoo bottles (or whatever hair products) that fall on the ground every time we move...When we wash long hair, it flings around water, and our elbows knock things off of shelves. ...why are there no big ledges in showers? After 100+ years of people using showers, there's still no ledge big enough to hold bottles in most showers?? Beats me! Why are there no places to sit down in the shower for leg shaving? Why do I have to contort my body like a flamingo with one leg propped up on a faucet or a ledge trying not to slip or drop my razor on the ground and break it...in order to shave my legs? Why are faucets and shower hardware, doors, glass walls and doors SO difficult to clean...why is it even possible to design a tub so deep, that you HAVE to slide down the ledge to get all the way inside of it just to clean 1 spot on a wall. Why are sink faucets so close to the the wall that you can't fit a paper towel or a sponge back there to clean? Why, whenever I talk about these things I get called a "raging feminist" and laughed at.

Or only target the clitoris (tiny part that shows) ignoring the fact that the clitoris actually extends 5 inches along your upper vaginal wall and 5 inches along each side of the vulva.

And pelvic floor exercises are for life, especially after giving birth. That's without all the other exercises you need to get back to normal afterwards- diastasis recti, simple joint issues from immediate weight loss, pelvic separation.

The composition of the fluid also varies depending on what stage you are in your cycle. It's usually stickiest and stretchiest when your period is just a couple of days away.

It's usually thicker, sticky and stretchy during ovulation (usually two weeks before the period) because this best helps the sperm travel. It can vary a bit between women, but it's not always sticky and stretchy a couple of days before a period.

Having anyone angry kind of is terrifying. I had an ex where if I made a joke she didn't like she'd hit me. Randomly during a car ride I raised my arm to protect myself and she realized at that moment she had been being abusive for some time. I was used to her hitting me and getting angry so I didn't care. But she was my size. And when she got angry I still wanted to curl up in a corner and cower. So while it is bad for a man to get angry and make a woman feel threatened it can be just as bad for a man and there is the fact we are expected to not fight back so all we can do is shield ourselves. Anger and being worked up is the real problem.
jdtimid123 2 years ago
This is why I hate the "never hit a woman" thing. It shouldn't be about defending women cause they are "weaker." It should be about not hitting someone you love (or anyone, but especially someone You're supposed to care about) just because you shouldn't want to hurt them. And guys absolutely should be able to fight back if a woman is attacking them, she shouldn't be trying to hurt you. As a side note, I do some martial arts and have had guys not want to train with me because they don't want to hit a girl. Like, we aren't actually trying to hurt each other in that setting, and sometimes it's just me and the other guys in the room, who am I supposed to train with if no one will "hit" a girl?

Picking up my car at the garage, the mechanic simply would not acknowledge me as the car owner. He kept addressing my then boyfriend who gave me a ride and stood a ways behind me. Just assumed that I wouldn’t understand my own car or that the man in the relationship owns all the cars. I don’t think he was doing it on purpose. Nice young man. Just real sexist about women owning cars. I had to keep moving side to side to get him to talk to my face instead of man behind me. This was shocking since this is not how I am treated when dropping off the car by myself or arriving by Uber. Presence of a man changes my status in the world.

He basically said he didn't think I'd understand (which was hilarious because ex didn't have a clue about how to connect the components I already had when we moved. He couldn't understand why the speakers weren't working. Um, because you have them plugged into the wrong port?). So I asked if he worked on commission. Of course he did.

He said it was absolutely fine by him because he had never wanted children. 18 months later he asked me if I was ready to start having children with him yet and I remember just saying huh?! I told him that I hadn't had a period for 11 years because a radical hysterectomy took away my womb, ovaries, cervix and fallopian tubes so I'd never be able to have my period or get pregnant. He seemed shocked. I asked him why he thought I hadn't had my period in the 18 months we'd been together and he said he just thought I was hiding it from him and that I'd come around to the idea of having children with him.

A 'B' cup can be a completely different sized boob - a 32B is a much smaller boob than a 40B, so if that 40B was on a 32 bust, the cup would be the equivalent of a 32E. (If boob cup sizes stays the same and only bust differs, you go up 1 cup for each band size you go down, and 1 cup down for every band size you go up)

Hmm, did any other employees live in the same area and take public transport? When I was driving to work if our times lined up I'd offer a lift to coworkers in the same area. Didn't mean anything and I didn't even offer every day since we often worked different hours. I could understand being cautious about it whether from perceived threat, or just concern about "reputation" but it doesn't necessarily mean the boss has ill intent.

I think this is not exactly a thing only men do but I've encountered a lot of men who really believe the stereotypes/cliches of "how a woman acts or thinks" and that is like a "rule" that cannot change. They'll say "a woman likes this" or "a woman always does that" and when I tell them is not true, they don't believe me or think I'm "not like the other girls". Then I have to start educating them in that yes, I'm like the other girls because we as humans are really complex and we can all like different things and we do not share a brain.

My parents would always say "we treated you the same" when there are plenty of evidence to confirm the opposite.

It really felt totally different!" I was like "this is what I've been trying to freaking tell you!!!" He admitted that he learned sex from p*rn & no one ever tried to give him any direction before.

In the late 70s and early 80s, he had no problem with buying tampons and pads for us. He knew which ones we preferred, he understood about different levels of absorbancy, and he used to come home from shopping with a bag of chocolate bars and sweets that he'd leave on our beds.

So I asked my dad to bring me home, he said no because he would have meant he had to drive back and forth and it was definitely a half an hour drive. Obviously I didn't give him an explanation why so he thought I was being a brat. After nagging him for so long he ended up bringing me home. Funny enough the itching stopped and I've never experienced it again. To this day I don't know what the heck happened.

Some of the problem is that previous generations of women didn't necessarily know themselves. We know that there are areas of this world where education is lacking, but it was a lot worse even just a couple of generations ago. Women didn't know the words for their own body parts unless they were nurses. Even if they did know about this phenomenon (likely lived experience rather than a shared story), it was Not Talked About with men. At all.

Had a gyno convince me to get a mirena IUD because she said the low dose hormone wouldn't affect my mood, and might even stop me having a period and cramps altogether and that I shouldn't have it removed right away because extra cramping was normal. So I researched side effects and they were all pretty standard for most meds, so I agree. Next thing I know I'm getting craps worse than the time I dislocated my knee cap, it definitely affected my mood and triggered a type of migraine where I get motion sickness every time it storms or I drive to a higher elevation Even after having it removed (one migraine was so bad that I blacked out for the first time in my life).

I wash my hair usually once a week, it is very thick and on the longer side, probably down to my mid-lower back. I'm fortunate that my hair won't start to look dirty or greasy in between my weekly washes usually but some women can't get away with this due to hair type, sometimes too oily or thinner hair textures don't normally allow one to go too long between washes.

My husband is guilty of this. He wears his hair in a very short buzzcut (like a tiny fraction of an inch long—-more like 5 o’clock shadow than hair), so it’s basically wash and wear—-dry before he’s out of the shower. He has totally forgotten what it was like when he had longer hair that he had to wash, condition, and blow dry.

I can remember washing my hair once a week or more while in college and that was the norm back then-40+ years ago. Then in my early 20's it became the norm for daily. Now in my late 60's I gone back to once or twice a week, depending on if I get really hot and sweaty, but mainly because I have become allergic to most of the shampoos and soaps.

He, like many men for some reason, thought that tampon/pad size was related to vaginal size...
HistoryLover(she/her) 2 years ago
I mean, it can be for tampons if you have a small vagina(as in can’t use large tampons because they don’t fit), but the majority of the time it’s based on the amount of flow.

thank you. I was wondering about 'juniors'. a female friend (back in my early 20's) laughingly related how she asked another girl for a spare tampon and the girl handed her a Juniors. so yes, that experience left me thinking tampon size correlates to vagina size.

A bit ago, my bf asked why I and other women he has known keep the plastic wrapper from pads. I explained to him that it is a courtesy thing, because the wrapper is good for rolling up the used pad. It helps conceal it as well as contain some of the odor. He was surprised, since it made perfect sense but that it never would have occurred to him.

Hey Jason K; it might be healthier to ask a woman what is bothering her or if she wants to talk about it, vs. saying "oh, you must be getting your period". I think that's what offends women more: passive aggressively calling them "b****y" based on a stereotype instead of you being a caring person and friend. Everyone has a right to be upset for a multitude of reasons. I'm pretty sure when you're going through something, women don't just console you with "oh, you must just be having erectile disfunction, and thats why you're crabby"...

Had a male professor for my anatomy and physiology class say that "the hormone change isn't enough to cause mood issues."

Honestly, this one isn't that bad. Bear in mind that (most) guys don't paint their nails so the idea of the nail polish chipping doesn't even occur to them. I will credit though, that if he literally said "all sloppy" that's not very bright since it sounds offensive.

To be honest, unless the guy is demanding she wear a particular type of underwear (that's a different issue) this is on the ladies. Guys aren't going to care what type of bra or undies you're wearing unless they're going to see them. So wear whatever the heck is comfortable and you like.

If it is a personal fashion choice I'm with you. But sometimes it's not.

As a lesbian … men (and heck even sometimes other women) love to think we exist to get men off. As opposed to just you know… existing. Have a dear friend whose fiancé would sometimes joke about being able to watch or join two women during sex (and this guy knows I’m a lesbian). The way I’m wording it makes it sound so terrible but the joke was more mild/less intentionally weird, I just can’t remember the exact phrasing rn. My friend - who is bi herself - didn’t even realize how uncomfortable those jokes were until I pointed it out to her. She talked to him about it and he realized why it was weird and apologized, and it’s never happened again. All is good now but. So many act like women exist to please men and obv two women must be ok with a man anywhere near them during intimacy. And that a relationship between two women is somehow not as legit or real than one between a man and a woman. Edit: Had an ex gf who wanted to open our relationship which I agreed to, as long as he (the guy she was into) didn’t expect or have anything to do with me. Immediately he tried to get me to be into him and even said “You sure you don’t like guys? Even a little?” That relationship ended for a number of reasons, and I’ve since figured out polyamory isn’t my thing. But also the fact that he just ignored what I said about my sexuality and tried to convince me that I’m not exclusively into girls disgusts me to this day

Pretty sure it’s not. People with vaginas have shorter urethras and penetrative sex can introduce bacteria into the urethra as it’s pretty close to where the action is, taking a pee after flushes the urethra preventing the bacteria from travelling into the bladder and causing havoc. Vaginas are self cleaning so as long as the microbiome is balanced all is well. I suffered from UTI’s in my early twenties, before I learned about having an after sex pee. Since then I’ve suffered from other issues but not that.

Not for safety in my case, just because I was socially anxious so didn't like announcing I needed to go. I waited until someone else said they were going and said I needed to as well. Then there was the convenience of being able to continue your conversation on the way, or having them check whether your pad could be seen through your skirt or whatever.

Also because we can’t typically hold it as long as men so you learn to “take a tactical one” before leaving/doing something (which can send members of the same group at the same time).

That the worst thing about having a period is NOT the fact that you "can't" have sex. Also why I carry multiple pads/tampons everywhere. And unrelated to periods, that my hair really dries for 2+ hours. Yes, that long.
Phoenix(or nix)they/them 2 years ago
It takes mine longer. So. Much. Longer. And when I do a braid or two braids for work to keep it out of the way and from pulling on my scalp, it stays wet inside the braid and several hours after I take it out. I love my long hair, but dåmn it takes too long to dry.

I work with hazardous materials and need to wash my hair every day. It is short but very thick. Still takes 30 minutes to an hour to dry depending on the local humidity.

I didn't for the longest time either. I've never had any issues, but once I found out about the possibility of thrush, I started bringing a long sun dress to slip on and then slip out of my wet bottoms. Realized it was a bit more comfy as well.

That it’s not safe to go to a weekend music festival alone. My bf doesn’t understand why I don’t go by myself.
Phoenix(or nix)they/them 2 years ago
I have never gone out alone. I refuse to do so because of all the possibilities that could happen. If I want to go somewhere, I ask someone to go with me, even if that means going through all of my friends and they say no or they're busy and I have to ask my parents or my younger sister to go with me.

You might want to consider self defense classes for women. Krav maga is good. Feeling as you do may also contribute to how others perceive you as a victim.

I think this one depends on your personal experiences. My sister goes to festivals on her own all the time because nothing bad has ever happened to her.

The average man is much stronger than me. I remember instructing boyfriends to be gentle with me when squeezing me, slapping my butt or anything like that, they easily hurt me by accident. Luckily it wasn’t a conversation I had to have multiple times and just a misunderstanding of force. I literally bruise like a peach.
Ken Beattie 2 years ago
That bruising comment is concerning. Other than the obvious "too much force" problem, if someone easily bruises it can be signs of some serious medical issues. Might sound weird, but I hope her problem was purely that they were too rough.

That we are NOT men, so they can’t horse around as roughly as they can with their buddies. Then again, we do have the option to roughly, and with as much strength and force as we can muster, apply a knee to some “tender grapes” to get them to stop. Besides, some of them are too f*****g stupid to realize that it will reflect really badly on them (and not her) if their girlfriend has bruises, especially ones that are obviously in the shape of hand marks, on her. You will NEVER be able to explain them away as being from “Oh, we were just horsing around.” No one, except another a*****e man, will believe you.

One of my friends was on the receiving end of a lot of hate for a while. His girlfriend was going to work in a prison and part of the onboarding process was learning self defense. She was sporting large, dark bruises from full contact sparring and the trainers trying things that prisoners do. He got blamed unless someone asked her if she needed help and she could explain

If you don’t, you will REEK down there and no woman will go near you—-though those who have been in the vicinity will warn others, and you will get a reputation for smelling like s**t and sweaty balls.

I had to explain what a cervix was lol and I've had to describe what an orgasm looks like because I've asked if they were good at sex and they always say, "I never got any complaints." Maybe not to their face. After I described what women experience during an orgasm; shaky legs, cumming, arched back, etc. They realize that they've never given a woman an orgasm.

In a three year period I had black, blonde, brunette, or red hair at one point. It was fascinating to see the difference in the type of men each color attracted. Black hair definitely attracted the weirdest but blonde hair attracted the most sleazy, douchey, or controlling guys. More than one guy commented that they only dated blondes and wouldnt let their girlfriend change their haircolor. This was in Oregon state in the mid 2000's. I'm sure it varies by region and time period.

Me and my boyfriend were talking about pregnancy tests, I'm getting an IUD but I wanted to assure him that I could always take one to put his mind at ease sometimes. He then asked me "but can't you only take those tests during your period, because the hormones are the highest?". Which was hilarious because he's honestly a super smart guy, I only told him "I want you to say that again but slower". And then he laughed and said "I forgot they were mutually exclusive"
