the current twitter discourse du jour is cervical smear tests for some reason and here is my take: there absolutely is a widespread assumption that if you have a vagina and are over a certain age you'll be habituated to vaginal penetration and this is self-evidently heteronormative and sexist and im honestly amazed that more people don't seem to register it fdkjghfdjk

[penny-anna]

it's not just an issue w smear tests. was investigated for PCOS not too long ago and when i was referred for an ultrasound absolutely nobody thought to mention that it would be a transvaginal ultrasound. if i hadn't happened to do my own research i would literally have found out on the day of the appointment?? i remain baffled by this

[penny-anna]

anyway a lot of people on twitter responding to 'actually smear tests are painful for some people' with 'oh well I suppose if you have some kind of medical condition it might be painful' and it's well the thing is people with medical conditions exist in real life

[penny-anna]

oh the other one is 'well the nurse will be super nice and will make sure you're comfortable and will switch to a smaller speculum if necessary' and i'm like you must know that isn't true. like c'mon. even if all your cervical smear experiences have been positive you must be conscious of the fact that some medical practitioners are assholes about stuff like this. a more helpful statement might be 'your nurse should make sure you're comfortable and if they don't then you don't have to put up with it'.

[penny-anna]

They are doing this discourse again and as a result I have a couple of working examples of the problem described in the OP:

'speculums open you up less than sex' *loud incorrect buzzer noise* what kind of sex? Not all kinds of sex involve penetration. Why are you assuming that everyone who has a cervix is having penis in vagina sex?

'if you can have penetrative sex you can get basic medical care' ok. If I can't have penetrative sex then what??

'so all these people who are afraid to get a pap smear have never had sex?' yes some adults have never had sex. I don't know what's so unfathomable about that.

as a pink lover. The ""universal""" hatred of the color pink by young girls is due to the heavy expectation of femininity forced on them. It is an expression of frustration at gender roles. It is not internalized misogyny. No you will not inevitably start liking pink as an adult and if you do that is not healing your inner divine feminine or whatever we're saying now. Its a color. 😁👍

one cool thing about having an autistic dad whose special interest is underwater spearfishing is that when he catches fish he'll just call up a nearby chinese restaurant like "hi. i caught a fish. can you cook it and i'll bring my family by?" and they're like "yeah sure come on over white boy" and the fish is delicious.

[beemovieerotica]

it's worth adding that my mom is chinese and she always gets embarrassed by this. like she doesn't want to come to the restaurant with us. she doesn't want to be seen with the white man she caught plus the fish that her white man caught. everyone who works at the restaurant thinks my dad is awesome and compliments him + her for choosing him and we all find this very fun except for her.

"I hated that Batman hit his kid in--"

nope stop right there. i'm going to give you a wonderfully freeing bit of comics fandom knowledge.

batman didn't hit his kid because batman isn't real. a writer wrote a fictional character hitting a child and an artist depicted it. if i defend batman, i'm not saying this act as a concept isn't gross, or that it's excusable-- i'm saying it's so reprehensible to me and incompatible with my preferred Batman shape that I'm stepping outside of the universe and acknowledging that this is a fiction created by people who might have done it badly (or differently than I would like, but not my cup of tea).

"but it's still canon--" this isn't a book series. this isn't a movie, or a show with a few seasons. comics are different. they're so incredibly different. it can't all be canon and cherry-picking isn't some mark of failure to accept "the difficult parts." in canon, dick let his siblings believe he was dead. in canon, superman spun himself a cocoon. in canon, alfred died and came back to kill bruce. in canon, bruce cloned himself. in canon, riddler tried to kill a baby with a ping pong ball. it's all canon. it can't all be canon. in canon, bruce retired to europe and never had a robin. in canon, bruce did a trapeze act on a cruise ship to try to impress lois lane.

comic book fandom is like the wild west. some of these towns are lawless, some of them assembled a functional community; the circuit judge has been murdered and the rangers left to join a war effort and some cowboy friends will teach you lasso tricks and some towns are going to hang a man for drunkenly riding away on the wrong horse. you get to pick where you go and where you stay. nobody is obligated to rationalize, justify, amend, or defend canon, and some people will go off and only write about the parts you don't like because that's what they find interesting.

it's not ruining batman. it's not ruining your fave, or harming your fave, or condoning things. they're fiction. they're made up. none of them are real. some writers will get it "right" for you and some won't. you aren't required to accept anything that comes out of the 80+ year stone soup that is canon.

just enjoy things and let other people enjoy things. if it's the wrong town for you, put your head down and keep going.

The -mancy suffix, though it has branched out greatly in recent times, originally referred to divination. This is literally wresting knowledge of the unknown from the bones of the dead. So this isn't just necromancy, it is necromancy in the original sense. Old necromancy meeting new technology.

did i tell you guys i failed at being sexually harassed at work today?

[quietwingsinthesky]

okay so, guy at work, who i find out afterwards is famous at this place for being a sex pest, comes up and starts with what i also learn is his favorite opener to conversations where he’s going to be a sex pest, namely: “Do you know where the term ‘blow job’ comes from?”

and here he made his first fatal error. his moment of hubristic sex pesting. because of course i know where the term blow job comes from, i love learning about sex and the history of sexual terms! i know so much about oral sex that i could write a book on it!

his second error: approaching a little autistic freak with what he intended to be an uncomfortable sex question that would make me feel weird and gross. Friends, Romans, Countrymen, I Have Never Misjudged A Man’s Intentions So Incredibly In My Life. because i did not realize he was trying to harass me. because i love talking about sex facts, albeit not usually at work. unless. someone prompts me. my coworkers are the kind of people who are generally online enough to know terms, but not exactly what they mean, and they realized they could ask me a while back and get good answers without the resulting awkwardness because i do not experience shame. i am primed to answer questions like the one he has proposed.

So I Answered It.

and well, really, what happened is that I began answering it, then realized the answer required a bit more context. I mean, you can’t just say “oh, well, the term first appears in writing in the 1940s” without first explaining that ‘blow’ by itself already had sexual connotations for centuries, and then, really, are we talking about the origin of the term or the origin of the act. and well we have a ton of literature and art depicting fellatio throughout human history, did you know a lot of it was men performing it on other men? oh, that reminds me, there are a multitude of latin words for oral sex performed on penises, and hold on let me quote you the entirety of catullus 16 from memory and explain it’s fascinating insights into the roman world of homosexuality-

i do not know how to turn any of this ^ off, by the way. i’m sure some people out there have a switch that disables their infodumping mid-speech. i do not. and i also didn’t realize he wasn’t looking for a real answer until my other coworker explained so hours later. he could not excuse himself from the conversation he started, and i made a conservative man at least 30 years older than me to listen to my catullus recitation. i will sodomize and facefuck you, indeed.

anyway, i think i got a bad grade in being sexually harassed. my pro tip is maybe don’t start with what a very autistic individual will misconstrue as you earnestly asking them to explain sex to you. the special interest shield will cause splashback damage.

Is anybody else aware of the snake who hates Markiplier or am I in an echo chamber of Tofu v Mark in my internet corner

[megamindsupremacy]

A girl on TikTok was watching Markiplier with her snake, Tofu, when she realized it flips its shit every time Markiplier is on screen

He rears up and stares directly at Markiplier’s face in the corner of the screen. It’s not moving targets/the YouTube video, it’s Markiplier

He has no reaction to other YouTubers doing letsplays. It’s Markiplier.

He rattles his tail and strikes directly at Markiplier’s face, in the 1x1 box in the corner of her screen. He’s specifically targeting Markiplier.

It’s not the volume of the video, she played it muted and he still attacked the screen. It’s Markiplier.

It’s not the fact that Markiplier is moving, Tofu had the same reaction to a picture of Markiplier she googled. He just hates Markiplier.

Tofu will literally leave if something else is on the screen. He’s only locked onto Markiplier.

It’s not the fact that it’s a digital Markiplier, she printed out a photo of his face and taped it to a stick and he struck at it repeatedly.

It’s not the paper, she cut the same shape with a blank piece of paper and he didn’t care. Tofu fucking hates Markiplier and not a single person can figure out why.

Here’s the highlights:

(Here’s one of her videos)

[megamindsupremacy]

Judging from the responses it seems like yes, people are extremely aware of Tofu’s Markiplier beef and are following it as avidly as I am

I want you all to imagine with me, if you will, what I witnessed today.

drinking games are kind of like those "try not to cum" games in that you only decide to play the game if you want to drink/cum but within the game's internal logic you have to pretend that you don't want to
