I bravely ate haggis when I was in Scotland last year blowy but there’s just not enough meat on those sinewy chicken feet to bother. Looked pretty chewy too.....

Cant believe the article failed to mention one important aspect, Asian women are more likely to be smaller and more petite than many other ethnicity's, meaning everything is in proportion it doesn't mean they all have tiny tight pussys or all Asian guys tiny cocks but on average these body parts would be smaller than many other ethnicity's.

One other possible contributing aspect is most Asian cultures use squat toilets all their life's, which only help to strengthen pelvic muscles, squats are one exercise recommend for women to build up these muscles.

I liked the way the author harped repeatedly about the shameful objectification of women and then used her Tinder profile pic in the author bio.

Also had a deep and satisfying belly laugh on the link about the mother who made ham sandwiches to demonstrate the difference between Taylor Swift’s vagina and her daughters.

Too easy to imagine the brief given to the author by the editor....” I want a titillating story about tight vaginas , laced with references to colonialism , racism and white supremacy....frame the lot as a shame job on judgemental society , whilst simultaneously introducing the guilt women never knew they should feel over the elasticity of their genitalia.”

What does 'cis' mean in that article?

lostdoggy Friday, 3 Jul 2020 at 10:49am

Ok, so I looked it up. cisgender "denoting or relating to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender corresponds with their birth sex."

She had quotes such as -

"But on a baser level, a tight vagina is also seen as a highly appealing characteristic for cis women to possess simply because it’s more pleasurable for cis men to penetrate."

"Studies are increasingly showing that cis women experience pain (about 30 percent in the United States) when they have penetrative sex."

Both quotes had links to papers that didn't mention 'cis' once.

Is this meant to be assumed knowledge or should she have pointed it out?

So to clarify- does that mean people being born with a willy grow up identifying as dudes?

Conversely, does it mean people being born with a VJ grow up identifying as chicks?

What a strange concept.

Zen, yeah seems to be just that...
From wikipedia:
"Cisgender has its origin in the Latin-derived prefix cis-, meaning "on this side of", which is the opposite of trans-, meaning "across from" or "on the other side of"."

I haven’t seen too much evidence of mainstream media taking up the pronoun fight yet , despite many stated intentions and a few instructional pieces aimed at educating / shaming the general population.

Every news article still refers to him / her / she /he when running through any story not specifically gender issue related.

PS ....I can’t stop picturing the Christian mother packing a bread roll with ham so as to illustrate how neat her vagina remained. She obviously took some pride in showing the world how well rewarded her daughter had been by her abstinence.

I also imagine the tirelessly tolerant father going home from a big day at work , to have his patience tested anew , as his wife proudly shows him the deli and bakery goods built diorama of their young daughter’s most private parts which she had just instagrammed into the world.

Most likely wasted her time at uni studying gender studies and needed an excuse to make what she studied somehow relevant.

Clicking on her twitter at the bottom of the article kinda funny to see she is just another typical young wanna be cool girl, tiki's tok, selfies in little clothes etc https://twitter.com/nian_hu?lang=en

A little bit of human biology to clarify some of these issues. A small percentage of children, at birth do not have fully formed genitalia. In some cases it is not entirely clear what they will develop into. Parents in that situation are usually reluctant, when asked the traditional boy/girl question , to answer "We don't know yet." The result of this is that some children are actually assigned incorrectly, an error that is not easily fixed. So the slightly effeminate "boy" may in fact be a girl....and vice versa.
In other cases the genitalia never fully form. The traditional solution to this has been surgery to reconstruct them according to the call the parents made after the birth. Of course sometimes they get it wrong and the child, when they grow up a bit might have reconstructed male genitalia while feeling like they are a female. Then there is the issue of the fact that some "women" feel they should be men and some "men" feel they should be women. The underlying biology of this is, as far as I know not entirely clear, but none the less it is an established fact.
Some light on this however comes from a village in the Dominican Republic where no boys were born for many generations but half the "girls" turned into boys at puberty. This demonstrates the power of sex hormones. A further demonstration is that heavy drinkers often start to develop the secondary sexual characteristics of the opposite sex. In men the testes shrink and the breast tissue expands (yes check now!) while women may develop facial hair.
Given that this knowledge is widely available and usually taught in high school science there is really no justification for those who cling to a moronic concept of a totally binary sexuality.......except of course the support it provides for their own insecurities.

You were so close , BB.

You almost had me for a second. Interested in what you had to say without feeling the usual urge reject anything you say based purely on the sanctimonious and venomous delivery.

But there it was , right at the end.

The hate .

No one is hassling anyone wth gender issues. It’s a friendly discussion of a topic that most aren’t too overly informed about.

There’s not much point you constantly berating everyone for being such awful , awful people when you are probably the least decent sounding person on here. You mouth all the right platitudes but you can’t really hide the distaste and contempt you feel for anyone else.

BTW.....This is highlighted in this instance by the fact that you come on here to champion the insecurities of some , but then you display no hesitation for attacking others who may also suffer from an insecurity. You just used any potential insecurities people may suffer as a weapon against them.

That village story is pretty crazy, will have to check out that docco or read more about it.

I mean normarly even when a women is pregnant even before the penis forms and sex is known about a month before they can still tell the likelihood of it being a boy or girl due to how it is appearing to form inside the actual babies body..

My question was, 'should I have known what cis meant as she didn't explain it and the linked articles made no reference to it either?'

I don't care that she used it I just couldn't work out what the fuck she was talking about.

I know that sexuality isn't 'totally binary'

Interesting in that link is that the child started to want to play with different toys as they shifted towards male gender.

Certainly puts a slant on the nature / nurture debate which sometimes suggests treating young children and their toy / activity options as though they’re gender neutral when they most obviously aren’t .

Seems boys might want to play with guns and it’s not just an imposed societal instruction as sometimes suggested.

Thanks BB but the article doesn't back up your assertion- a village in the Dominican Republic where no boys were born for many generations but half the "girls" turned into boys at puberty- at all, in fact it refutes it.

".....the remarkable case of the Guevedoces is a condition that affects just over 1 percent of the boys born in Salinas"

So about 99% of boys are born with normal sex organs.

Sounds like a dietary deficiency which causes enzymes responsible for sexual development to misfire.

I'll assume that your literary and comprehension abilities are sufficient to distill the article and you made an honest mistake by mis-remembering the factual content of the article.

Perhaps read the initial link ,Pops. She’s rallying about the negative and harmful objectification of women.

Pops Friday, 3 Jul 2020 at 1:44pm

Yeah, fair enough blowin, little hypocritical perhaps (her, not you).
Copying the photo without consent still doesn't feel right for me, but it'd seem I'm in the minority there. And don't get me wrong, I'm not calling for the hounds to be released, just airing my thoughts.

On the seeming hypocrisy, she looks like she's my age or a little younger, and I know a number of chicks that age who seem to struggle a bit/are a bit conflicted between principles they think are right and what mainstream culture says they should be. So they say one thing and do another, and don't seem comfortable with either. I think insecurity has a lot to do with it; feeling like you need to conform to the mainstream ideal. And sometimes it seems to be a control thing; "I'm gonna be objectified anyway, so I'm gonna make sure it's on my terms".
I reckon young blokes get the same thing, but it expresses itself in different ways.
Of course, trying to psychoanalyse someone you've never met is never gonna be accurate. Just speculating here.

I've got no idea if that makes sense. Sleep deprivation... don't try it.

Pops Friday, 3 Jul 2020 at 1:49pm

BB, yeah for mine, even though you didn't accurately regurgitate the story, the point you were trying to make still stands.
And the waters get muddied further when you account for people who have both male- and female-type biology.

So that's probably why the cis term has come into usage.

Agree. On that story I suspect, and this goes back about 20 years, that the issue was initially discovered in a relatively small extended family group and that was where the 50% came from. The percentage suggests a classic sex linked condition similar to colour blindness.......but that's just a guess.

Pops....I think you’re right on the issue of young people being conflicted, but i think you’re mistaken in that it’s societal pressure which makes girls put photos of themselves flaunting on the internet.

Myself and my lady had this very conversation this morning. We went for a walk up the beach and into town , remarking on how many crew were around and the palpable holiday vibe you can feel at times like this.

As we came up the rocks at the end of the beach there was a couple of young girls laying in their bikinis right next to the path. My missus was talking about how good it felt at that age to be filled with hormones and the excitement of sexual possibility when you and your holiday friends separated yourselves from the families . She spoke of walking for hours hoping to be noticed by boys and the frisson of joy that being a recently budded flower was one of the great feelings in life.

She said a quote that it was “ like buying a new sports car and wondering how fast you could drive it “ when describing the sensation of realising that you had unintentionally developed a power over other people with your developing body and sexuality.

So I think if anything, young crew - girls in particular - are conflicted by that traditional attraction towards testing the capabilities of their new found sexuality and the fact that the now boundless connectivity and exposure of the internet means their flowering is made so much more public.

It’s normal and healthy for a young girl to work that thing in direct gaze of a few boys at the beach and another thing altogether to work it on the internet where control of exposure extends to greater threats than just the unsolicited stare of an old man laying nearby.

I’m just glad I didn’t have the extra burden of the internet to contend with as I was growing up. Real life has enough pitfalls as it is !

If checked her twitter feed you’d realise that she wore that get up to a music festival, even spiced it up with a bit of studded leather on her thighs.

I swear you think that everyone in the world is a victim , you are a hero in shining armour and we are all mindless beasts.
