I mean, I guess if guys weren’t circumcised they could simply store their Tylenol in their pee pee pockets.

So does the presence of autistic women imply the existence of the 'lady foreskin'?

Mysteries of the female anatomy never cease to amaze.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 15 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Uh... women do have a "foreskin". Foreskin is what we call a prepuce in men and a prepuce on women is called a clitoral hood.

Since we're nitpicking, that means that no, they do not have a foreskin. You're specifically showing that its only called a foreskin when it's on a penis.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Well, since we're nitpicking you'll notice the quotation marks around "foreskin".

A rose by any other name still smells as sweet.

In female humans and other mammals,[1] the clitoral hood (also called preputium clitoridis, clitoral prepuce, and clitoral foreskin)[2]

The local brand name for acetaminophen in my country is "Panadol".

I don't think I could've asked for a better reply.

Thaks, mister.

Most unhinged statement I can make on it:
There is no such thing as an autistic woman. The women with autism are all trans and have been circumsized.

Scariest statement I can make on it:
For women, it’s not the circumcision, it’s whether or not the mother has taken birth control prior to being pregnant.

Most rational statement I can make on it:
RFK has had too many homemade medical remedies, and we’re all paying the price.

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

Women are disproportionately underdiagnosed for autism, which could be one of the reasons RFK types have latched onto male-specific causes.

Shyness tends to be problematized less in girls than in boys, and parents may perceive shyness as “sweetness.”

Many autistic people have special interests that they focus on. In boys and men, these often include cars, numbers, or collections. Girls may have more socially typical special interests, like celebrities or animals.

(of Masking) Gender norms exert a huge influence on women’s behavior, and women who deviate from gender norms can face harsh backlash.

[–] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Silly. Not an inclusive and. It's linked to Tylenol in women, and Foreskins in men. That's why we need to abolish any gender nonconforming ppl, because that breaks the narrative. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
