Can a woman have a penis?

33 replies

There’s currently a poll on Twitter asking the above question.

It was showing 90% as “no” responses - but it’s been shared widely by certain TRA accounts and shenanigans are now ongoing (see screenshot).

It’s now flipped with 57% responses saying “yes”.

I think that although it’s just a shitty Twitter poll, every little thing like this matters. Every time there’s an opportunity to say “live how you want, but women do not have a penis” I think it’s important to keep saying it.

So, with that in mind I’m sharing the link here if anyone would like to vote.

Yes I saw that.

Don't get involved. Someone's turned a load of Russian bots onto it.

It's just a shitty little Twitter poll. Pay it no heed.

The correct answer is 'no', BTW. But we all know that.

Your link didn't work for me, but you might want to report that post admitting to multiple accounts.

mumjustmum · 31/03/2022 14:15

Nope.
When I learned sex education at school, as part of my SCIENCE classes, males had penises, and females had vaginas.
Science is fact.

Peston last night showed a you gov poll.
40% said that your gender was based on how you feel. Can’t remember exact wording.

I dud take a look at the link posted yesterday to twitter poll and how the ratio had changed through intervention.

Huh? What am I missing?

Cant vote as I refuse to have a twitter account, its vile over there.

Bloody hell. I thought my MN habit was a guilty time wasting strategy but these people can’t have jobs at all. How much time must it eat up to man multiple accounts each just to pile on people and skew polls?

Thoosa · 31/03/2022 14:21

I don’t suppose anyone has commissioned real opinion polling? The regulated, representative sample kind?

Rummikub · 31/03/2022 14:24

The you gov poll? But I’m not sure if it can reflective if there’s always a pile on?

SpidersAreShitheads · 31/03/2022 14:24

@BoreOfWhabylon Oh yes, good point! I’ve reported the account now.

@Pixiedust1234 - certain people are admitting to having multiple accounts to change the result of the poll to show Yes.

Rummikub · 31/03/2022 14:25

Old school poll. Pen and paper might be the only way?

Thoosa · 31/03/2022 14:25

You’ll only get accurate results by random sampling and phoning respondents. Like they do for political polling.

PeeAche2 · 31/03/2022 14:26

I have one. He's called Big Purple and he lives in my bedside table.

I'm not entirely sure this is what you mean though.

girlmom21 · 31/03/2022 14:28

No. Clearly not.

Oh duh...thought they were referring to multiple mn accounts, not multiple twitter accounts. Time for a coffee I think Blush

SpidersAreShitheads · 31/03/2022 14:28

I know a lot of people who are scared to be open about their GC views. And I think the more people can see they don’t have to collude in the Emperor's New Clothes, the more they'll feel able to be honest rather than staying silent or feeling forced into submission eg/in workplaces.

I’m lucky, I’m self employed so I have autonomy but DP has had to have several group sessions of “diversity training” which very clearly communicates that GC views won’t be tolerated. It’s shit.

And that is the only type of penis a woman can have.

Julie Bindel discussed this at a WPUK event:

One line stood out for me: “Her erect penis was visible above her tights.” And this Australian full-on lesbian turned to me and said, “The only time that her penis should be used in a sentence is when a woman has castrated her rapist and she’s holding it up.”

It amazes me how much time and effort people put into manipulating the result of these Twitter polls. Perhaps put up some Twitter polls on election day and the TRAs will be sat at home voting in a Twitter poll rather than an actual election.

Mrsmch123 · 31/03/2022 15:02

Nope!

NecessaryScene · 31/03/2022 15:12

Nope!

disagree.

Am I forced to somehow choose between the collective wisdom of Goldie Lookin Chain and Mumsnet? Sad

No.

I cannot take the credit for this. I don't know who wrote it, but I think she has a way with words, don't you?

(To the tune of "If you're happy and you know
it, Clap your hands)

If a person has a penis, he's a man.
If a person has a penis, he's a man.
If he doesn't want to lose it,
Even though he doesn't use it,
If a person has a penis, he's a man.

If a person has a nutsack, he's a man.
If a person has a nutsack, he's a man.
He can tuck it to conceal it,
Let it dangle and reveal it,
If a person has a nutsack, he's a man.

If he amputates his bits, he's still a man.
If he grows a pair of tits, he's still a man.
If the chromosome's a "Y"
HE WILL ALWAYS BE A GUY.
If he isn't born a woman, he's a man.

Quite right. Your “gender” (if you have one) is entirely based on how you feel.

Gender is not sex. “Man” and “woman” refer to the sex of the adult human in question.

It is not complicated.
