I missed this the first time through: _“In all of these places I was taught to fit in. I was taught to wear makeup, dress in a different clean outfit every day, shave almost all my body hair, don’t talk about masturbation, and don’t let anyone except your one sexual partner see you naked. I don’t do any of those things now.”_ I can maybe relate to the others… but I don’t see wearing clean clothes as oppression. ---

> [@MissSwitac](#): > > How much open talk can you have about menstruation? This, although as a non-menstruator I’ve always felt I didn’t have much right to speak. Substitute “defecation” for “menstruation” in all the power-chick diatribes and see how it reads. Just how “empowering” or “female-centric” or “goddessy” does it make one to talk in detail about a fairly messy bodily function? Yes, it’s suppressed, among men perhaps more than women, but is the “oppression” a woman might feel in a mixed group anything special - could she blab about the color of her feces or urine, or issues with eliminating them, or talk about the color of pus that came out of the popper on her shoulder that day? Would the world be an more enlightened place if she did? Oh, yes, I forget… m\*nstr **t** n is deeply symbolic of the Goddess power of all women and thus separate and sacred, and of course deliberately suppressed by the frightened paternalists. 'Scuse me while I [genuflect, genuflect, genuflect](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f72CTDe4-0) before _that_ rag. ---

> [@CarnalK](#): > > You know what? You guys just convinced me to not argue with **monstro** ever again about how big assholes men can be. Exactly. And I can totally see, small blog suddenly gets lots of hits from this site and the blogger arrives here to see all these crude and insulting comments. Charming. ---

Yeah it’s embarrassing both as a man and a member of this supposed “better than most” message board. I doubt that kind of blog gets referral link lists but if the owner checks this out I hope they remember that assholes come in all sizes, shapes and sexes.
