It’s the thing attached to the thing that cleans out your rectum. Always had been. It’s full of poop and gross. ---

Now explain to me why the _insult_ (not the product) “douche” when used towards men is harmful to women? ---

Would a link to anal douche products clarify things? ---

I can see the logic. Calling a man a pussy is misogynistic. That’s not the case with douche bag though. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Ain’t that an enema? Yes, “enema” is another term for “anal douche”. Both terms are routinely used in the context of washing out the anus/rectum. (ETA: Though as hajario’s link illustrates, sometimes a distinction is drawn between the two terms based on the amount of irrigation they use.) ---

I’m not usually the one to say “Google it”, but in this case I think this discussion about a common term is taking us away from the main conversation. ---

I know what s douche is. I know what an enema is. And if you need to know, from firsthand experience. Maybe that’s the best research. My brain. The Internet don’t know everything. I cannot tell you the wrong info I’ve gotten there. ---

Yeah, tbh I find it more pleasant to be discussing the semantic nuances of different words for anal cleanses than to be thinking about the Men’s Alliance as an organization. Bleah. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I know what s douche is. I know what an enema is. Are you sure that you understand that “vaginal douche” and “anal douche” are two different things? The latter is indeed often identified with “enema”. ---
