  Ah yes, the old “if I can’t impress girls with my skill I’ll impress them with belittlement and open hostility instead”

  Yep sorry. Your post is good, and your comment is good.

  The other comments just shocked me and I have been reactionary. I should never have strayed into “All” probably.

  You’re incorrect. I am disgusted by actual abuse, but I am also legitimately disgusted by the idea of anyone having sexualised thoughts about children. If you can tell me that these people have no control over that then you must be able to comprehend that as a parent I have no control over my protective instincts.

  The idea of people being who are sexually attracted to my children, or any children, being anywhere in the vaguest vicinity of them triggers very deep instinctual reactions. Whether those people intend to act or not.

  I wouldn’t describe the feeling I’m having as my morals. My morals are conscious and deliberate.

  Maybe you need to be a parent to understand… It is a visceral, deep in the gut feeling of fury and repulsion and rage.

  Sorry but what the actual fuck are these comments???

  Lemmy: yeh punch a nazi haha that’s awesome and deserved and cool

  Also Lemmy: nooo don’t be mean to pedophiles they’re just misunderstood waaahhh it’s all QAnon propaganda

  Fuck anyone who thinks abusing children is fine and normal. Fuck you all so hard to hell. Get the absolute fuck away from my kids.

  I’m pretty damn left, but I have zero empathy at all for anyone who is thinking sexual shit about children. I’m livid. Holy shit.

  The thing no one can understand unless they have been pregnant, and been faced with giving birth or have given birth is how terrifying and animal of an experience it is.

  Humans these days are used to convenience and ease and predictability… having a baby forces you to confront the chaotic nature and sheer mammalian nature of us.

  Women facing birth for the first time, especially in this era where they have little support or experience to draw from, and lives where everything is controlled and understandable, are terrified. They reach out for these communities because they feel insignificant to the doctors and nurses and midwives they meet in the system and they are scared.

  It very easy to sit back and scoff at women when you have no idea at all what it’s like. You don’t know. You can’t know, but you aren’t even trying to know.

  People without direct experience should be doing more listening and attempting to understand, and less judging.

  It could also be related to how your cervix changes over your cycle, but that baffles me because surely gynecologists would know that and try to time things correctly if it made things easier for women.

  Close to ovulation, your cervix goes really soft and opens up, close to your period it changes position, goes really firm and closes.

  I haven’t gotten an IUD so I have no personal experience with this, but I imagine that trying to put an object through the cervix into the uterus would be best done at ovulation when your cervix is open. And probably extremely difficult and painful to try to do when your cervix is shut tight.
