Penis-haver

AIBU to start referring to all men as penis-hackers (inspired by the absurd NHS policy re people who menstruate thread)?
Hi, here’s my penis-haver X who I’m married to, my penis-haver friend Y and I was assaulted by a penis-haver paediatrician?

It is such subtle changes in language, it feels like coercive control but of the whole class of women - adult human females.
So the test for sexism is to turn it around (prostrate haver) and if it doesn't sit well then it is sexist and discriminatory.

@BrumBoo

For those confused:

www.nhs.uk/conditions/cervical-screening/

'Cervix havers'

www.nhs.uk/conditions/prostate-cancer/

'Only men have prostates'

Rather unfair to the prostate owners who are now... living in 'girl mode' was it?

Double standards hey, why is it only men instead of men and people with prostates? The way things are now I'm actually surprised they can say "all women and people with a cervix should be invited" for smear tests. Doesn't that statement oppose the "trans women are women" mantra as it's implying all women have a cervix (as well as some other "people")?

The transphobia on this thread is sickening.

The propensity to refer to women as 'cervix-havers', or reducing them to other aspects of their anatomy, is also uncomfortably close to the kind of rank misogyny that insisted on viewing us as 'cunts'. Same discourse, different day.

I don't see any objections there.

If Teen Vogue called females non-prostate-havers (which they did), please may I suggest non-ovary-havers?

Pricks if from Dublin

Well, I've had enough of this. I'm off to watch the next episode of Bellenders, followed by an action movie: The Inseminators.

And, if there was a party political broadcast on afterwards, it could be Erectionering

From the NHS link.
“All women and people with a cervix aged 25 to 64 should be invited by letter.”

Please would someone (seriously) decipher this sentence?

Outside ‘all women’, who else has a cervix to be invited for the screening by letter?

“The transphobia on this thread is sickening.”

Is it? Women are ‘people with a cervix’ but transphobic and ‘obsessed with genitalia’ when lesbians won’t sleep with the penis-havers?

I know what’s sickening, and it’s not this thread.

Mmn654123 · 16/04/2021 00:18

@fairynick

Trans men are men.
And trans men might be cervix havers.

And trans women might be penis havers.

Or not.

And everyone might be anything they like. So all we know for sure is what sex we were when born, and how masculine or feminine we choose to feel now. Which are different concepts entirely.

So that’s nice.

“Spaffers “
This is exclusionary language. Not all penis havers have the propensity to spaff

jollygoodbargain · 16/04/2021 00:27

People who ejaculate. Testicle wearers. People with sperm. Scrotum carriers. All good names.
