If you believe the McMaster university campaign to counter health misinformation.

I love the way that article is part of a campaign to combat misinformation 🙄

Well men can get thrush from having sex with a woman who has it and so actually the post isn't a complete nonsense. I'm not one to stick up for those mangling language due to gender nonsense but it is completely true to say that men can be affected by vaginal thrush (which is not the same as saying men have vaginas)

It would have been accurate if they said 'women', irrespective of what the reader understands the word to mean. Because trans people are rare, and candidiasis can affect neovaginas.

They made it inaccurate unnecessarily. Because it wasn't enough to be inclusive. They had to be seen to be inclusive.

Stupid and ideological. What a coincidence!

Is this definitely not parody? I mean the absurdity of the stat, the "McMasters" title... I've not looked up McMasters, but without doing so, my first thought genuinely would be that it is!

WITH 'the mother'

Poor itchy things. Cider vinegar might help.

Scientifically, biologically and mathematically inaccurate. A university openly displaying it online. 🙄

Maybe they are referring to woman-who-would like-to-be-men?
Along the same lines as pregnant men.
This is what happens when the english language is changed to accommodate an ideology. Confusion.

Even then it's nowhere near 75% of people.

Apparently they affect 75% of people at least once in their lifetime! Must let DP know, his vagina might be playing up.

They get vaginal thrush because they are women and have vaginas. Men with penise's dont get vaginal thrush because they don't have vaginas.
When will this stupid nonsense end?

Lins77 · 17/08/2025 10:43

Even being "inclusive" that makes no sense.
