“Scented Pads”: 30 Things That Were Clearly Designed By Men For Women

Aside from the raising, we risk our lives and our health carrying and bearing the child. No way ANYONE else should have a say in this.

Amen!

100% pro-choice, the world has enough people in it, we don't need to up the count for those that start off unwanted. However, i also believe that just like a woman should have the right to choose whether or not to continue a pregnancy, a man should have the right to say "nope, not interested in footing the bill, or being in any way responsible for this thing i have no say in, for the next 18 years"

There is a fool proof way to not get pregnant, actually several ways. I'm not saying women shouldn't have the choice of the method they choose but there are other options.

Contrary to what some women seem to believe, people (men and women) opposed to abortion are interested in saving babies, not controlling women.

pretty accurate

Yep: the doc said after the procedure: I could have given you anesthesia, but you know, we would have hade to wait for it to take effect and...

Cervical biopsies. "take 3 ibuprofen 30 minutes prior to procedure." I'll tell you where to shove those ibuprofen...

Endometrial biopsy, I almost kicked the doctor in the face. She said that it would just feel like some pressure, literally felt her ripping the endometrium from my uterus.

They may have had to ask your husband's permission first! /s (Its a shame I have to type snark.)

Mine was so painful, makes me second guess ever having another

Wtf😰

And the instruments look like medieval torture devices

It's an option here, but I took the general anaethetic option. Not sure whether I would have the same option if I didn't have the insurance to cover it though.

Up very high.

Find a doc who will medicate. Cervical block at the very least.

Tell them to knock you out. I was put out to get one.

OMG. I had one of these immediately after/during a miscarriage where I was already doubled over in pain and unable to walk. It was horrible. The (female) tech didn't seem to realize or care much.

I had what the docs theorized (never actually got an answer) was ovarian torsion and was in such excruciating pain that I couldn't even lay down. I couldn't sleep even with my usual night medicine and two melatonin tablets. (20 miligrams) I had gone to the first hospital and they gave me no medicine at all. Attempted one and said since I couldn't stay still long enough during it they couldn't do anything. Didn't attempt anything else just sent me on my way. An hour later I went to a different hospital and they did a regular ultrasound still nothing.I spent the next five days in pain and another week sore as hell. Like three months later the same pain. They gave me something and that time ordered a CT scan. I still got no answer but that doc at least prescribed pain meds to take as needed. I have no clue what it was and every sharp pain in the area makes me absolutely scared because it means just a week of being in pain with no answers.

Yup. Same. Turns out I have endometriosis and uterine fibroids (well, had fibroids before hysterectomy). But that was diagnosed years later. I couldn't even handle the transvaginal ultrasound, and after they couldn't make that work they gave up and just sent me home without a diagnosis.

I guess you're one of those "most women" who only experience mild discomfort.

Depending on the size, try kids' shoes too. They tend to run wider

That's why I wear Chucks.

pleaser pink label, admittedly a lot of drag queen and hooker shoes but they are wider

On behalf of BIG handbag insodous no longer will be posting, he has been.... Reformed

I love the jeans I got from Duluth Trading Company. FULL SIZED POCKETS IN WOMEN'S JEANS!!

I purchased a pair of women's Levi's jeans, and the pockets were literally 1.5" deep. They barely hold my Toyota keyfob! So, I'm not sure if this falls into the "destroying the line of the clothing" c**p or not. But they are denim jeans! No lines to destroy at all!

You've really never worn dress pants with gaping pockets?? Just look at the reviews on Amazon with photos, you'll see plenty of curvy women with this issue. I carry a purse anyway, I'd rather look tailored with no pockets than have pants that don't fit right.

I do believe that sometimes the pockets are ruining the line, especially when one wants to carry something in it. I have trousers/jeans and even skirts with normal pockets, skirts and trouser/jeans with small or no pockets. Same with loops to my trousers. There are so many choices, just buy those with pockets and loops. I do not understand the constant complaining.

I know this is not directly referencing *that study*, but the problem with male HBC is that men don't get pregnant. It's medical ethics - the medication has to solve more problems than it creates. And for women, the thing HBC eradicates is pregnancy, which is a pretty high bar to clear, even in the best of circumstances. But because men don't experience any negative health effects from causing a pregnancy, the bar for "too many side effects" is about as low as it gets. Yes, sexism is at play here, but also the way medical ethics are currently structured.

No and yes

Tell me about it! I ended up removing the pads from mine. Just way too much hassle.
