Women’s bodies are “disgusting”.
Something I am reflecting on lately.
We have normalized most things like sweat, pi$$, p00, f@rts
(Yes women p00p, & not 💩rainbows💩).
Yet we are STILL not being educated enough about women’s bodies.
I’m not just talking about the monthly cycle (which is a WHOLE topic by itself). I feel a lack of general knowledge about pregnancies, births, hormonal cycles, female birth control, postpartum, women’s s3ggsuality (or lack of), women’s pl3asure, and surprisingly- women’s discharge.
I was having a conversation about my bleed with a male friend. I casually mentioned that “all women have different kinds of discharge” -and was surprised by his reaction.
It was news to him that “stuff” comes out of our bodies even during the weeks we are not bleeding.
I felt ANGERY.
Not at him, but at society.
I assured him that it’s not his fault that he didn’t know about v@gainal discharge, but shared with him my frustration for the educational systems that don’t teach us about the only thing that is ours since birth- our bodies.
I am frustrated that young girls have to feel so much shame about our bodies because no one ever teaches us what is “normal”.
We go years and years thinking that we are “different” and gross.
I grew up feeling that my blood is shameful, that if god forbid I stain my pants I will be humiliated forever.
That I can’t shower nak3d with other girls because I didn’t shave my pub3s,
That I can’t wear a bikini if I don’t wax from head to toe,
That my v@gina is ugly because it’s not bleached and smooth like p0rnst@rs,
That my n*pples are too big,
That my belly is too bloated,
And the list goes on.
ENOUGH
It’s time for better education, and normalization of all parts and all skins.
So Insta fam, let’s break these tab00s.
I’m sharing some important information about female discharge in the comments, feel free to add any information about this topic AND any other tab00s 🤍
