What’s the weirdest thing society accepts as normal?

Cheese on a stick

That you can buy fireworks and set them off at home.

I'm convinced the only reason no goverment has banned them is because they want us to remember what happens to people who try to blow up the polititians.

Well what do you want then? What would you like society to accept and expect for women?
If full time working is too hard for women because of periods, childbirth, menopause or whatever then what do you propose as an alternative?

Lesser expectations will mean less opportunity, unequal pay and prospects, and ultimately less of a voice in society.

And I don't need anyone to "tell" me what to think thanks.

Transphobia/homophobia. I hate that this is normalised. Anyone who is transphobic or homophobic should be publicly shamed.

That it’s illegal to mutilate girls’ genitals (rightly so) but perfectly acceptable to do it to baby boys who have no say in the matter.

Yep, quite happy to do that. It's perfectly possible for most women to work full time and have periods.

Men having kids with little financial and reproductive labour consequences and then daring to accuse women of PA or mental health difficulties in the face of absent feckless sperm doners.

or society telling women they're mentally unwell when theyve been abused by men and are having a perfectly normal reaction to abuse.

Wild shit

That we drink and make food stuffs from the milk produced to feed another species young. Would you drink another mother's milk? Or a pigs?

This. It is almost compulsory in the UK to consume a harmful, addictive substance that makes many people act like idiots.

Double beds. Wtf.

Using procedures to look younger, from hair dye to Botox. Grow old gracefully and take holidays on the money you saved!

Our very existence is very fucking weird to be honest and I’m surprised we don’t collectively freak out about that more.

Expecting little children to sit still in school, and older children to learn in crowded, hot, smelly classrooms wearing polyester uniforms.

Seeing mental health worsen and suicide rate pretty much stay the same and not consider that the pace and breadth of modern life is just too much sometimes for our nervous system.

Not recognising that child rearing takes a village.

Sex

The necessity for refuges where women can go when the father’s of their children decide they want to kill them.

Massively this!!!!

And that you will be fully recovered after 6 weeks, I really believed all that when I was pregnant and got a real shock at how long the healing process was. It was a year until I felt in any way back to my old self and I had problems with the episiotomy scar for years, it would swell and itch every time I had a period. I was referred back to the hospital and they told me that it was "nothing" and to basically get on with it

Every time I say this on other social media I get absolutely flamed. It’s true though.

Women with penises.

There have been a couple of posts about this and you're absolutely right.
I recall that there was a human milk ice cream made somewhere and many people reacting with revulsion about this.
But cows milk? Fine!

Very weird!

While the old fashion for 'lying in' and spending the first six weeks of motherhood being confined to bed and being waited on while you learned to care for your baby had its disadvantages - it wasn't all a bad idea!

Unwearable fashion garments and most of the trends like big nails, fillers, botox etc well over what is comfortable.
Food trends like put avocado in every meal like there there is no other healthy fat food out there.
Basically trends in general, Stanley cups, this or those shoes. I don't get them.

Flying above the clouds in a metal tube.

Setting fire to a small white stick to inhale the smoke.

(Not at the same time.)

Is this not a normal thing to do then? Socialise with your peers via playing?

I personally like dancing and drinking alcohol, often (no surprise) at the same time

I also don’t see how childbirth, menopause or menastration affects our ability to work as women??? I’ve worked with a newborn, I’ve never taken time off for the other two and no I don’t take hrt, I don’t do drugs

That our allies frequently commit war crimes and continually break international law.

Agreed. It should be illegal.
