Is anyone else sick of having to talk about penises?

This is not having a go at the topics, I applaud everyone and all their actions, I am just fed up to the back teeth of cocks! Because the TRA are obsessed with them, getting them out, photographing them, calling them female. So every topic always comes back to penis. It's wall to wall phallus. I can't wait for the day when I can stop discussing/thinking about/viewing/listening to penis-related things.

Anyone else?!

In the mean time Wine to you all.

I get the willies at all the penises on show and talked about - kinda like dickpics amplified

jasminemaya · 24/08/2018 11:56

VickyEadie I have seen one screen shot of a Tweet about a lady penis shared about 1000 times here on FWR. I haven't seen anything of the sort from any trans people I know or follow.

If you look hard enough on the internet you can find plenty of nasty things. I just don't understand why you would want to share it to death over and over again. Like others say it just gives it oxygen.

It's odd isn't it, when it's so exclusionary and dreadful to even mention any part of the female reproductive system or genitalia

TransplantsArePlants · 24/08/2018 13:21

Ive said the word penis to more people in one year than I ever have for the previous 40-odd. Including my mum, dad, workmates, friends, newspaper editors. People I would never have dreamt saying penis to.

Interesting. Yoda-like in its cleverness

sociopathsunited · 24/08/2018 13:49

Vagina.
Clitoris.
Vulva.
Labia.
G-spot.
Cervix.
Womb.
Uterus.
Fallopian tubes.
Ovaries.

Here you go. Hope this redresses the balance a little.

Oh they're not hard to find. Ask any gc woman on Twitter if she's been kindly DMd a dick pic by your friendly TRAs.

An unresounding yes.

But we'd be happy to chew the fat with your pals on here if they wish to engage in a discussion.

"The only place I see or hear this penis obsession is on FWR."

lolololololol

Right and not the 8 trillion unsolicited dick pics sent every day, the random ones men show us when we're out and about, from when we're schoolgirls, the pics of dicks all over walls everywhere (drawn by blokes).
You could get onto more serious penis related crimes (or penis owner related crimes)
Or that it's so important that the mighty D gets what it wants that the effect on women and girls all over the world is a secondary consideration

But yes totally it's women on FWR that are obsessed with dicks. Not men at all.

The only place I see or hear this penis obsession is on FWR. Just an observation.

Pretty much the same here.

Stickerladiesoftheworldunite · 24/08/2018 14:04

Suggest the doubting John Thomas' skip over to this link. There's a fair few examples of what we receive from TRAs.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 24/08/2018 14:06

Yes if you all just stopped looking on the nasty places like Twitter for the nasty people saying nasty things and being totally unrepresentative of any group as a whole, (and ignored that those named people are the ones talking on tv, talking in closed rooms with policy makers, being invited to advise government committees and leading the drive towards embedding this stuff in law, with the inevitable massive consequences for women and girls) then you could pretend none of this is happening too. Smile

And be a jolly happy little bunny while an appalling law gets made that has the potential to be extremely harmful. Whatevs. So long as it's not affecting you personally, right?

NothingOnTellyAgain · 24/08/2018 14:08

The idea that men are not obsessed with their willies is laughable, I mean seriously. Come on Grin

Hello Dr Freud Grin

"Penises are such amazing things to have from my entirely independent position as a psychiatrist (male). Women must be insanely jealous not to have their own amazing powerful stick of all wonder. Let me write that down. Oh also, penetrative orgasms are the only ones that count. Clitoral orgasms are immature and silly and not dick related and I just - nope to the nope. Feminism will say this is rubbish for years obviously and then an image of the clitoris will prove it to be literal shit, but I don't care, my perspective as a rational bedicked person is the only logical one".

NothingOnTellyAgain · 24/08/2018 14:09

Reversal - it is men who are sick to the back teeth that we are the ones who make the babies, and so they have sought to control us forever, and are now working as quick as they can to be able to do it artificially. Hooray! No revolting illogical emotional women needed in this most important of tasks any more.

NothingOnTellyAgain · 24/08/2018 14:15

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?
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?

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?

Stickerladiesoftheworldunite · 24/08/2018 14:22

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

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

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

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'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.

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.

annandale · 24/08/2018 14:59

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.

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