Is anyone else sick of having to talk about penises?

God yes. I'm so over the penis now. Just put them away.

Yep - me too.

As a lesbian I'm pretty revolted by penises. No interest of any kind, really really don't want to know.

And that's apparently 'hate speech' and 'bigotry'.

You know, me having a sexual orientation. That excludes people with penises. Basically me refusing to be willing to offer anyone with a penis sex.

Yes, sick to death of penises, seriously, but don't really feel it's safe for me or any other lesbians to just think happy thoughts and hope this goes away. I'm fast reaching the point of 'either help or get out of the way'.

Just in case it's not clear, this friendly TRA says 'T€/£s are transphobic subhumans who must be raped with a serrated dildo'.

Anybody genuinely concerned about women's rights and engaged in the debate will have seen penis mentioned elsewhere, I assure you.

You also mention trans rights in your post, alongside women's rights. Does us mentioning 'penis' impact on that then?

I watched this unfold in real time as more and more women came forward. Same thing happened in publishing - horrifyingly, including children's publishing - earlier in the year.

I can't even form a sentence to describe how laughable the idea that "it's only on Mumsnet" is.

I see

*Big and little, black and white, cavalier or roundhead, take your pick.

I read that as 'take your prick'.

Kyanite -

Your perspective is skewed. It's probably because you are cunty.

The correct perspective is that you only count orifices that you can fit a dick in, when considering names for the parts of cunty people's bodies.

But yeah it's definitely us who are obsessed, not those who ignore bits of our anatomy that are irrelevant to male sexual pleasure.

(See also teen vogues article for "non prostate havers" encouraging them to give anal a shot while leaving the clitories off the diagram and not mentioning it once).

You honestly maintain that the people who are obsessed with dicks are women who post on MN on the FWR section.

And definitely not men...?

(NAMALT but anyone who has ever spent time with a young boy knows it starts early! And for many seems to be a lifelong abiding love affair).

Strange how it's ok to say "penis" but a vagina is now a "front hole"...and it's not even the front hole!!!

Have you never been flashed at?
Never had a random man show you his dick in real life? Over the phone or on social media?
Never had a chap in a club or on the train or on the bus rub a stiffie on you? Wank it at you when you're in the carriage with no-one else around?
Never had a bloke shout "suck my cock" at you from a van?
Never seen cocks graffittied over stuff?

??????????????

How terribly patronising Transplants.
I get it, but even though I use twitter, I never see mention of penises there. Granted I don't look, or follow the people who get linked here.
I also don't think the fact that someone says they only see them mentioned here doesn't equate to them being blissfully unconcerned about women's/trans rights debates.

Re-read the tile of the thread. Think a bit. Then come back to me with anything you don't understand

I love penises. Because I love men. And because they are male genitals with some amazing properties. I think they are gorgeous - when I have asked to see them. Happy to talk about them a LOT at the right time.

I hate that people with lovely healthy functioning penises reach a point of societal and personal trauma and pressure that they actually have them removed. Awful.

The only place I see or hear this penis obsession is on FWR.
Hah hah, I see someone has not been paying attention to the wider world, or men in general!

To address the OP, I would happily not see another one, talk about them, think about them, for the rest of my life. Sadly, males dicktate otherwise.

I'm always delighted for a few seconds when people tell me if I don't worry so much about abuse and vileness, it won't be a problem. I slip, ever so briefly, into a universe where all the animals help me with housework and I can drink three gallons of pinot grigio with nothing more than a pleasant buzz afterwards.

Me too. I can stop worrying about it when I'm asleep, by and large.

Just wondering after the last couple of days - do people pop up on the camping board to post 'tents.. stupid idea really aren't they? I don't believe camping actually happens, it's just a myth'. Or on the knitting board to say 'you really don't need to knit or talk about it, why don't you go for a nice walk instead?'

I think you’re rather missing the point of the thread.

I think Jasmine's rather missing the point of FWR.

Ah look this old chestnut popped up near the start

Here's another current thread detailing all those yummy abusive screen shots. But if I don't look then it's not happening, right?

To the two people who have said they only see it on here - penis obsession.

Have you never been flashed at?
Never had a random man show you his dick in real life? Over the phone or on social media?

It is not women who are obsessed with penises by any stretch of the imagination. In fact we are always saying - no I don't want to see it, put it away, leave me alone, no I don't want to do that etc etc etc. Women and girls all over the world would be way happier with a lot less random penises in their lives. Well, what we want is for the penis people to just stop it and leave us alone, really.

Is this off topic?
