Are my testicles ovaries?

Women don't have fat days because we have ovaries, we have fat days because we live in a male-dominated world with rigid beauty ideals that were culturally ingrained into us from birth.

Wrong. The beauty ideals that women obsess over are by and large created by women for women. Most of us guys don't even notice the stuff you are paying/starving for. Hair/nails/dress size/shoes/scale weight.... Your man no care

Case in point: All these women starving and exercising themselves for an upcoming wedding date. The guy has already proposed and accepts you how you are. You aren't losing weight to impress the guy.

I like reading your posts on this forum, so I won't be too sassy, but the "obsession" is not solely due to men OR women, but culture, media, etc. There's a whole load of stuff that makes it hard to untangle.

But aside from that, yes, you're right that women often feel pressured and uncomfortable amongst other women. Like I said, it has been so culturally ingrained into us from birth that we are even capable of being sexist towards our own sex, without realising.

I agree there are definitely cultural pressures to look or act certain ways. My disagreement was with the male bashing part of it. Because honestly, we don't care. Whenever those "I Hate Everybody At The Gym" threads pop up, it's never the guys complaining about how the women are dressed or what make up they have on. As long as we can check out your booty in the mirrors we don't care what you're wearing. It's the women checking out and trashing the other women.

Is it possible to have testicles AND ovaries? I'm tired of looking at myself some days and thinking I look good and looking at myself other days and thinking I look crap. Are men suppossed to have 'fat days'??? :huh:

lol i see some people one here posting mean/offended comments...i think it was funny when I saw it. And since us women have ovaries and have that time of the month we get all crazy I get it :laugh: i totally think it's normal for a man to have "fat days" we are all people no matter the gender we all get our insecure days- i know you meant it as a joke.

:laugh: I can see it from both sides. I'm not offended, but I could see the privilege glimmering through the joke.

No, but your penis is a fallopian tube.

That's the type of question that a guy asks when he wants to be kicked so hard in the testicles that they become Ovaries.

Nicely worded. I was trying to figure out how to express this. But also, I think there is some part of expectations involved. IN the fairy tale wedding, every girl is brought up to believe that when they grow up, they will need to be the most beautiful woman in the room, and that it will be their big special day. It gets to the point that there is a lot of pressure to try and meet those expectations that are ingrained in society and perpetuated through media and stories.

While I understand my sisters-in-arms being up in arms about this one, I have to say, I just cackled when I read the title! It's okay to have a fat day, just don't consider it a "female" day! :sad:

owned.

I'm still not convinced that it is necessarily the male-dominated portion of society that drives this. I agree with the poster that said women (and girls) do a lot of the things they do for other women (or girls) sake. They do things that most guys would never even notice, but women do.

For example, eyebrows. Why do women spend so much time plucking their eyebrows, or removing them and painting on new ones? I do not know of any guy who has ever looked over a woman as a potential mate and said.. "Check out her eyebrows. She is the girl for me." The same can be said for fashion items. I work with mostly women, and I was surprised the first time I heard someone say, "did you see those shoes she was wearing?" in a snarky way. I had never even looked at the woman's feet, and was about to say something thinking it was joke, when all the other girls started sniping as well. That leads me to believe that the women will comply with the fashion of the day to avoid being sniped by their fellow women behind their back or in front of them.
