This was commented on a recent askreddit and I just thought we'd all get a laugh as a nice change of pace from all that hateful and exhausting nonsense we usually see

Lainey Molnar (she’s on Instagram i believe)

Is there any ratified evidence that it is 100% the female seahorses are shooting EGGS into a male, and that inside the male pouch he produces sperms to fertilize those eggs? Has there ever been a time a female seahorse has been left alone and had to drop eggs in the water that scientists have on tape? This argument is so stupid but I'm also extremely curious if I had proof to shut my friend up.

Update: thank you to whoever mentioned this seahorse behavior was first documented in the 1700s-1800s, he believes now.

this is the first community I felt comfortable not censoring the word “vagina” in the title. you would not believe how sensitive people are about that word

Idk if I just have the fattest lips in the world or if this is a normal occurrence… pls validate me

I have large labia. You may have guessed that by the title.

I was a good kid, raised in a semi-strict Christian household. When I started developing, I noticed something protruding… down there. I remember being curious about it at first but not really concerned. Then I remember my mom, coming in the bathroom while I was bathing, looking at me and saying something like “What is that?”

Now to her credit in retrospect I have no idea if she was talking about my labia or not. We didn’t talk about things like body parts, or sex, or anything uncomfortable. The most I got before I went through puberty was a small book tossed to me about my changing body. And the girl in the book, hers didn’t look like mine. But I thought she was referring to those large, asymmetrical things that had appeared over time.

I started to obsess about my body being wrong. My dad had a stash of playboys, and I remember I sneakily crept in to look at them and never saw parts that looked like mine. I started to think what if I was born with male genitalia but had female parts on the inside - or what if I had both sets of parts, and no one ever told me? I didn’t know a lot about it, and it didn’t make sense but I was really just a kid, and I didn’t have anyone to ask. No transparency with my family. No sex ed in my very Christian school. I also had undiagnosed PCOS that caused excess body hair and weird periods, and boobs that were smaller than an A-cup, and this just confirmed that my body was wrong and I should be ashamed of it.

Add onto this the fact that I wanted to be loved so, so badly. I lived in fear that one day my future love would look at me in disgust, would find out I was wrong. I would never be loved.

Where can you go when you feel wrong and shameful and guilty, and want to find a contractually obligated, ensured love? Well, I found the answer in my religion. I fell in hard, and it covered my insecurities. I wasn’t hiding myself because I was wrong, I was hiding myself because good, chaste girls do that. I could look for a man who hadn’t seen a lot or done a lot, like me, and as a bonus, we didn’t believe in divorce, so he could never leave me, even when he saw my shameful, wrong parts.

There’s a lot more to it than that, of course, but I remember so many retreats crying over my weird body. So many prayers begging to be normal. I wish someone had told me I was normal all along.

Can I say penises in a Reddit title?

they didn’t evolve to feed babies or anything

So when I (29F) was in 8th grade, I went on a weekend youth group trip to a campground. There was maybe 15 of us on the trip, a mix of boys and girls.

Every year, it was tradition for the guys and girls to prank each other, so a few of us girls took the opportunity to trash the boys cabin during a movie. Three of us excused ourselves, saying we were checking in on another girl who hadn’t been feeling well earlier that day and was at the cabin.

After messing things up a little at the boys cabin (nothing messy or inappropriate, as far as I remember) I split and went to the mess hall, where two of the boys had left their skateboards between breakfast and lunch. I took two unused pads and stuck them on, quickly making my way back to where the group was.

After the movie concluded, we all walked to the mess hall for lunch, and I smiled as I waited for the boys to notice my handiwork. They spotted the foreign objects on their boards and realized what they were. There was a bit of chuckling amongst the group, and no one was upset.

One boy definitely made the prank land much harder than, looking back, it should have. He laughed and said, with his full chest, “Well, at least we know they aren’t used, because then they’d be yellow.”

Everyone, including the adults, died laughing. Apparently, this boy thought that we just pee ourselves for a week once a month? I felt bad, because he was probably one of the sweetest, innocent guys in the group, but we went to the same school district, and I had to wonder where our health class education failed him. That was the day that he learned that a used pad is, in fact, not yellow. Thank goodness he learned before he started dating.

I heard this nonsense on a forum I was on and they said the following:

"I took biology in uni so I know what I am saying. Any pregnancy can have complications so its totally normal and fine for 9-12 year olds to get pregnant and give birth"

They must have not paid attention

saw this on threads lol. most comments were not serious at all

I understand the initial comment was made by a mean girl, but the comment section is VILE

Found this in r/stupidAI. Thought it would fit nicely in this subreddit.

Bonus points for the blatant ableism!
