Best products from r/women

I wonder if this study, once published, will be yet another "boys are this way always" and "girls are this way always" book or if it will actually examine the social constructs that lead to that divide-- things such as expectation, conditioning, archaic gender roles, etc.

We definitely don't need more of the former floating around out there. It's great to know things as they are, but it's better to look at the actual "why"s that make them that way.

A great example of the latter would be Pink Brain, Blue Brain. We need more books like that around.

Cunt: A Declaration of Independence is one of my favorite titles. It may have a shocking name, but it is something that every woman should read. I have purchased copies for many of my friends in hopes they would love it and pass it on.

Lots of good advice - I always like to have an under layer...maybe fleece lined leggings, with a tank top (b/c my armpits still sweat a lot regardless, lol). I tend to do a long sleeve shirt over that, and then a light hoodie, with a warmer wool/winter coat over my hoodie (so I can have some level of protection if I'm in a hurry).

Hat, gloves, scarf...although...I used to do this thing where I would buy the $1 beanies that are like...everywhere...they're a little stretchy. But I would cut off the top (where the seam was sewn)...and turn it into an "everything" warmer. It's like a cheapy version of the tube-y face masks that have gotten popular in the last couple of years. I did it b/c my kids couldn't keep their scarves on their neck without it being scary tight...plus, it never fell off. And they are long enough that you can pull them up to cover the bottom of your face or ears.

Try a cook book like this. He'll have fun & it's not a lecture.

As others have noted, the instigator was the mother-in-law.

But beyond that, who does most of the cooking & dish washing in your house? What about laundry? The behaviors you and your husband model & live will have a far greater impact than any book, movie or film will ever have. If you really want to modify his perception, you will probably have to swap choirs with your husband and have him do more cooking, dish washing & laundry. This will leave you to do what are considered some of the more masculine tasks such as mowing the lawn, raking the leaves, plumbing, electrical work etc.

Also keep in mind that his identification of masculine & feminine traits are not necessarily a bad thing. Walking into school in a dress would quickly get him beat up. Certain masculine traits will make him more attractive to females as he matures. Of course, it will be difficult to separate those from stereotypes that really don't matter.

Bottom line: How you live will have a far greater impact on his attitudes about gender roles than anything else.

I love my menstrual cup, I'll never go back to pads and tampons. Once I mastered the trick of getting good suction against my cervix - sometimes a little challenging because the angle is a little weird, I have a tipped uterus - it was like magic. I can all but forget I'm on my period all day, and I swear my cramps are lighter and my period is usually only 4 days instead of 5. I highly recommend trying them. I got a cheapo cup from Amazon and it works great for me.

Scott Carrier is absolutely brilliant on the radio, but I found this piece to be a bit unfocused. Reading it in his voice seemed to help a bit.

If you found this story interesting, I highly recommend Jon Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven. Krakauer more deeply explores Elizabeth Smart's story, along with many more in an absolutely fascinating book.

On the lighter side, Dave Chappelle asks, How old is fifteen really?

I use this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KKCP3ZB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I only started using it a couple weeks ago so I can't speak to its longevity, but it is working pretty nicely so far.

Even if you're not trying to conceive or planning to use charting as birth control, I highly recommend the Taking Charge of Your Fertility book. I learnt SO much!

What you and /u/bannana are experiencing is totally normal. Your cervical mucus changes consistency around ovulation, so that it provides the best environment for transporting the sperm to your egg.

Maybe I'm the only one who had this thought, but in reading that article I can't help but question why this is being thought of only in a father-daughter context? Why not a mother-son context? After all, if the premise is that even as an adult a woman can not really make the decision to consent to sex with someone who holds so much influence over them as her father, then why not broaden it to say the same thing about a son in relation to his mother?

In any event, to get back to the question in this topic, this article brings up the case of Kathryn Harrison, who by the article's account "didn't grow up with her father, and their incest began when she was an adult", which to me calls into question how much influence her father really might have had over her. I found this to be even more curious when I read the Amazon.com page for her book which states she "did not really meet her father until she was 20". If a grown woman meets a man for the first time and discovers he is actually her biological father, and then she decides she wants to have sex with him, how can it still be rape? I'd love to have that explained to me.

I mean, I guess since most of us are smaller physically than men, we might actually benefit from smaller earplugs??

But this reminds me a bit of the “Bic for her” phenomenon on amazon (https://www.amazon.com/BIC-Cristal-1-0mm-Black-MSLP16-Blk/product-reviews/B004F9QBE6).

We don’t always need a separate product. And I bet they cost more, too.

I’m really fond of Berlei - bought on amazon. Listed as a “High Impact Underwire” sports bra- holds and separates.

Berlei Women's Sf4 Extreme Impact Underwire Bra, Black, 36H https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KA4Z5ZU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_oKLTDbMRFBQ46

Speak to your doctor to rule out medical issues (depression/anxiety, medication to treat depression/anxiety, hormonal birth control can all be culprits). You may also want to speak to a therapist. You don't really expand on your 'horrid' sexual experiences, but they could have negatively impacted you more than you are realizing. Also, what is 'everything' that you have tried? Are you getting enough foreplay? Are you lubricated properly? Have you tried toys, erotic literature/movies, role play? There are many options to explore before you try a bullshit supplement like 'hersolution'.

Gee, a city without Walmart just seems...odd. Okay, let's see here:


Amazon

There are many brands, many prices.

Might I suggest, for those who want to reclaim the word, The Princess and the Pizza, or Princess Grace. Not all Princesses Dress in Pink is not my favorite, but isn't bad either.

Yeah I don’t think so.

This brand is one of the most comfortable things I've ever put on my feet

They're amazingly light, look very elaborate, I get lots of compliments, hae enough of a heel to look formal, but I wear them with anything and there was no breaking in necessary!
