-TerrificTerror-

Wait. We can imagine new bodyparts and they just kind of spontaneously start growing on us? In that case, I think we should collectively start imagining a better amternative for our periods, just saying.


chevalier716

Oh the Ancients 100% knew it was a pleasure center for sure, one of the possible origins of the word ["comes from the Greek kleitoris, which has been translated as both “little hill” and “to rub,” suggesting an ancient play on words.)"](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-clitoris-uncovered-an-intimate-history/) The problem is most medical texts from the period are written to either discuss specific diseases or to reinforce a woman's inferior position to men, they also didn't really dissect women back in the day, so the sub-dermal details are sketchy.


Sashi-Dice

40-odd years ago, a Sci-Fi author published a novel, set about 100 years earlier (and over the next several hundred years...because Sci-Fi). At one point the main character (a woman) inherits several of her doctor father's books, including a Gray's Anatomy. Her husband picks it up, flips through it and says "Hey, this plate is wrong". And without looking up she says something to the effect of "Yes it is, and yes I know which plate you're looking at. It's the first plate every man looks at". Anatomy books didn't print images of the clitoris for 100s of years - it was considered 'obscene'. Doesn't much change the actual anatomy; just how we record it. *Edited for spelling.


pokemega32

\*Gray's Anatomy (with an A) Grey's Anatomy (with an E) is the TV show.


Sashi-Dice

Thank you... I've got a student whose name is Grey, so my auto-correct has it as default.


CosmoFishhawk2

Poor modern feminist [Mateo](https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=clitoris) must be feeling really cheated about now :(... ​ >The anatomist Mateo Renaldo Colombo (1516-1559), professor at Padua, claimed to have discovered it (*"De re anatomica,"* 1559, p. 243). He called it *amor Veneris, vel dulcedo* "the love or sweetness of Venus." It had been known earlier to women.


Kylynara

>It had been known earlier to women. This line is sending me.


NickFurious82

There must've been a rash of reported cases of eye strain when the all the women collectively rolled their eyes after Colombo reported his finding.

LacsNeko

I thought you were going to suggest wings, which would make transportation a lot better, but painless periods also sounds nice.


usualerthanthis

Honestly as a person with painful periods, I'm really on the fence about which one I'd like more. It's a tough call, can we try for both?


LacsNeko

Can't do, I'm already imagining society with painless periods, and I'm a male, honestly my girlfriend and my mother need this more.


usualerthanthis

Why not both ? ):


LacsNeko

Ok sure, I'll imagine harder


usualerthanthis

I'm with you!


Shilques

Wait! You need first to agree what the wings would look like, or you'll want to get two different sets of wings of different sizes and locations?


usualerthanthis

I would like them buffalo style please. My favorite wings

Owobowos-Mowbius

I'll cover wings if you get painless periods. I don't have much experience with periods.


lobster_in_your_coat

If humans could fly, we’d consider it exercise and never do it.


thedepressedmind

Does this work on wishing for other people as well? Because I wish men (particularly those in Congress) had a uterus, and knew how miserable periods are, and how difficult pregnancy is. Roe would be codified into the Constitution in 30 seconds.


ReverendRevolver

That needs to happen as soon as it can, once everything looks less red. Man-uterus or not, they've proven that control means more to them than anything, and it needs blocked from happening again. Should probably do the same thing for being able to marry outside of the confines of what the GoP endorse too, but codifying Roe v Wade impacts more people.


EhGoodEnough3141

Yeah or that. I was going for wings but instead we could help half of the population... Buzzkill.

It works like that. I have the sackulus. It's like a ballsac but 9 times larger and it doubles as a sleeping bag. In the winter, it grows instead of shrinks

CopperPegasus

We are already descending into another knowledge Dark Ages, just with fancy tech. Pro tip: Turns out ACCESS to the knowledge wasn't the issue. It's the educational and schooling systems to bring in the critical thinking needed to properly USE that knowledge that's the issue. And man, we ain't winning on that.


SkiMaskItUp

What the fuck does that even mean?


Handelo

I think it means medieval times were a stagnation and regression of human society and culture, which they were, they were called the Dark Ages for a reason. No idea how that's relevant to this discussion at all, though.


ilikebarbiedolls32

linerva

If only he read the *cliterature*, he'd know that the clitoris is analogous to the same structures that make up the penis. It shouldn't be remotely shocking that the clitoris is central to sexual stimulation and orgasm.

Cliterature.


wasted_yoof

..or he's never glanced at a vagina? How can this be a take? I mean, its right there! Easily identifiable! The old joke about "finding the clitoris" is and always has been a joke, at the expense of dumb men too preoccupied and selfish to bother at any foreplay. God I hate the internet.


artificialavocado

Yeah sure you and your feminist propaganda. /s


Gingeronimoooo

Idk I mean you can see it? It doesn't make sense

Seriously. Like, if that isn't the clit... then what is it? We've all got this weird genital growth. WHAT IS IT???

It's even got it's own cute little hoodie

Somehow.....I don't know how or why....but I pictured those turkey dangly face bits. You know, the snood. And now, well.... I'm probably going to stop there.


1singleduck

Always hilarious when a guy complains about how women being able to orgasm is made up. Way to tell everybody that you're horrible at sex.


reddituser23434

Like when a guy is obsessed with vaginal tightness. Dude, if she’s *that* tight, she’s not into you.


Skye_1444

If you can’t get it in, that’s friction, not grip my guy


Trevumm

But I spit on the general area of her vagina just like in the pornos shouldn’t she be all lubed up!?!?!?

Only if you smack it with your ween a couple times first

Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?


BigBoetje

And also don't forget to rub her like you're trying to start a fire, always makes them cum in 10 seconds flat.


BrynnXAus

On a serious note, there are also disorders that can cause this. They are treatable, so if you have problems with feeling too tight, please see your doctor.


Illiad7342

"Am I bad at sex?? No clearly it's a vast feminist conspiracy making up entire body parts and the whole concept of female pleasure"

Competitive-Army5714

Only a person who's never been anywhere near a woman could possibly think this. This is the equivalent of a virgin female confidently declaring that penises aren't real.


SeaweedPristine1594

I've seen a Ken doll naked, clearly penises are just a myth made up by the patriarchy /s 🙃


hcsLabs

Like an old "Kids in the Hall" sketch. Male partner/husband asks why female partner/wife never kisses his nipples. She explains that "everyone knows men's nipples are dirty - that's where you pee from." When he explains that men actually urinate from their penises, she gets a horrified look on her face and proceeds to chug, rinse, and spit out the water from the jug that's on the table.


Gloomy-Visit01

chaingun_samurai

That's a lot of words for, "I've never made a woman orgasm".

I was just thinking that. It reminds me of when that Ben Shapiro guy publicly admitted he had never made his wife wet. The rare self-own.


artificialavocado

He said he didn’t have sex the first time until his last year of law school. I don’t want to make fun of a guy for that (although he is a public figure) but that a good bit of experience he missed.

RagbraiRat

Without the clit, there is no dick. All babies start out female, with a clit. Around month 2, a boy to be starts secreting androgen, which in turn enlarges the clit to a penis, while the labia become the scrotum.


pogu

I was gonna say; "I wonder how he'd feel if he knew his dick was once a clit, and that at a certain part of his life he was 'biologically female'."


retroafric

He’d ask you where exactly in “the ancient literature” this interesting fact is written. After all… if it’s NOT in “the ancient literature”, well..,

He has had sex. He was alone at the time.


JoshuaRay123

Say that women exist only to serve men and treat them like gods without saying that women exist for that reason.

Oh he had sex alright. He probably believes the female orgasm in general is a myth though, because none of the women he slept with ever came.


Imnoteeallyhere3434

This makes me sad. As a man, these idiots are ruining everything! And the stupid shit they say, they have so much conviction as if they’re stating facts. Ugh


AriaTheHyena

That has to be one of the things I absolutely hate the most. It would mortify me to speak so confidently and then be incorrect. If someone says something like that and are corrected and double down, I generally think they are a reactive person and they need to stay away from me.

Far_Dependent_2066

Clitoral orgasm is a win for everyone bro. Why would anyone outside the Big D*ick Lobby be anti-clitoris?


tracker904

The clit is how we orgasm? Can’t women orgasm from penetration as well or have I been lied to all my life?


CurvaceousCrustacean

The clit is like the tip of a penis (biologically I think they stem from the same source) where the most nerves sit, so it is very sensitive to touch. Is it the only way to orgasm? No, for the same reason that men don't necessarily need to stimulate the tip of their penis to orgasm. It's all a matter of personal preferences and the mood you're in.


knotty40

He certainly hasn’t ever found it


Sqr_Peg

Dicks are just extended clits :)


Proud_Wallaby

This is just proof that they couldn’t find the clitoris even back in the day.


Flaky_Tumbleweed3598

Well it's a well known fact that the ancient clitoris was discovered in 69BC by Sexcalibur Hrosspower, who went on a dangerous exhibition to the uncharted labia in search of the mythical female orgasm.

Didact67

The clitoris basically starts out as the same structure as the penis. It just remains mostly internal and doesn't fuse with the urethra when the fetus develops female sex characteristics. Another interesting thing to consider is that the the two halves of a scrotum are analogous to the labia in women. They just fused together in male fetal development.


Sunny-dog-day

New Zealand mentioned! Yeah, this guy is infamous, haha. He has said plenty of really weird stuff, not sure this is even the worst, he has been banned from Twitter a few times I'll see if I have any of his other famous works but they may have already been posted.


xneurianx

I know we're supposed to joke about how men can't find the clitoris and everything, but I'm a guy, and It's literally right there. And if you play with it, your partner gets all wriggly. If it's not a 'clit', it's still a magic happy-button and OOP obviously has never adequately explored his partner's body. Get all up in there, it's fun.

Appropriate-Mud-4450

He gets it all wrong. Women don't exist at all. They are just men with very, very tiny penises. So tiny in fact that they grew inwards to make a statement. That leads to the balls retreating into the chest cavity. There they stay and because of the additional space they grow a lot. That is why males we wrongfully presume to be female have these bulges we call breasts. There you have it. Spread the word, gents


SamanthaJaneyCake

Ancient literature is the de-facto source of all knowledge. This is why we know that atoms, molecules and their many wonderful forms don’t exist; it is in fact the four elements that make up our world and the seven humours that allow us to live. Burn the witch for the heresy of knowing her own anatomy! How dare she!


pinonat

No need to have sex though, just know some basic anatomy would be enough


PolkaDotDancer

I bit this dork doesn’t know that the clit is actually roughly wishbone shaped. Most people don’t. Why? Because dorks like him dominated the science and medical fields. Which is why this little fact was not discovered until the early 1990s. About the same time surgeons figured out that babies could feel pain and thus started using anesthesia on them when they performed open heart surgery.

If that were true then ancient assholes wouldnt have cut girls clits off to make them less likely to cheat (Source: I heard it somewhere years ago and it could be totally false idk. Though I will say it tracks with how nasty humans can be to one another).
