Stop YEP. Just stop.

Is that a binder on the figure on the left?

It really does say something that for women it’s “women’s genitals Come in all shapes/sizes (including penises)” but for the men/boys it’s “penises come in all shapes/sizes (but not including vulvas).”

Could it be any clearer that it’s a men’s rights movement than this comparison?

@WeeBisom according to the green party, that question is far too political for them to answer. A political party. Refusing to answer a question because they deem it too political. it was months ago and I'm still not over it

Why do they never tell us directly what “defines” womanhood? Ok so it’s NOT our bodies - that’s nasty “essentialism”. So what is it then?

MsWonderful · 08/09/2020 15:43

I notice that they use the word penis for the men’s, but not the word vulva for the “females”
It’s almost as if they know that it’s a load of illogical bollocks (pun intended)

Well I hope it’s a female bodybuilder - and a clean one at that.

I follow some bodybuilding/powerlifting accounts on insta and so far they are sticking to the old fashioned kind of women (you would hope if anyone understood the differences between the sexes it would be those who compete in strength training!)

Also, bit of a derail but one of the trainers I follow has a clothing line so I went looking at one of the t shirts and was surprised to see TYPE (eg vest/t) and SEX (only had one, women’s 😃)

TreestumpsAndTrampolines · 08/09/2020 14:56

no women have clitorises that prominent.

From what I understand, body building women who take some drugs/hormones get enlarged clitorises. It's not something I've felt the need to research further than knowing that little fact though.

The penises though - for them being all 'shapes and sizes', all seem to be largely lacking foreskin. Do Aussies go in for circumcision then?

Shedbuilder · 08/09/2020 14:55

Wouldn't it be fantastic to have an image of a genuine female weightlifter without material such as the vulva/ penis images to blur and confuse everything. Women and girls don't have penises!

@Doyoumind

That middle 'gal' reminds me of a certain cyclist.
I thought the same 😂

That's what I thought shedbuilder.

Also disgusted that they don't have a vulva in the plasticine penis picture. Not a sentence I ever thought I'd have to say Hmm

unwashedanddazed · 08/09/2020 14:48

Those plasticine vulvas are really ugly. They look like cup cakes that someone sat on. I understand they may want a motif for their campaign, but they could have got an artist with a bit of skill to make them.

Shedbuilder · 08/09/2020 14:43

Isn't the tall figure with muscled arms the one who has a penis under their shorts.

Deliriumoftheendless · 08/09/2020 14:43

See, I like how they have a body builder in there- women who bodybuild or powerlift seem to always be forgotten when campaigns talk about different female body shapes and muscular women get some right shit about the way they look. A friend of mine competed and I showed another friend her photos and second friend went “uuuuurgh!” Which she wouldn’t have said about an overweight woman or a woman with post partum scarring or stretch marks etc but because my bodybuilding friend was very muscular she thought it ok to call her disgusting. Which it is not.

Anyway, that’s not really what this campaign is about.

Leaving aside the very obvious penis, that's an odd set of plasticine models. Comparing it against the "Great Wall of Vagina" (moulds of actual vulvas) barring the one or two who are transmen who've had a metoidioplasty (surgical procedure involving freeing up of the clitoris from the surrounding tissue), no women have clitorises that prominent.

Why, I wonder, is a site supposedly designed for women's health issues showing vulvas which dont' actually look like real vulvas? (Penis aside - clearly that shouldn't be there at all.)

DialSquare · 08/09/2020 14:31

The 3rd vulva from the left looks like a puppet from Michael Bentine's Potty Time!

The figure on the left is wrapped in the trans flag, isn't it? Which I doubt is just a coincidence because they liked the colours.

I wish you could like posts on here.
I am quite literally crying with laughter at that penis. And the vulva with the pink cat's tongue.
I shall be indignant once the shock and incredulity has worn off.
I now understand why you saw a binder OP.

HappyPunky · 08/09/2020 13:43

The middle one looks like a binder and a skirt.
One of those genitals definitely looks the wrong shape!! The one next to it looks like srs too.

testing987654321 · 08/09/2020 13:38

It means that womanhood is not defined by being a woman. Because they’re completely and utterly fucking insane.

This needs repeating.
