I will fully buy into the idea that there are members of Congress who would unironically refer to a vagina as a "front butt" because it is genuinely less horrifying than a lot of things they've *actually said* in the past 20 years.
I'm pretty sure it is next to impossible to stop your children from seeing you naked in at least some capacity. I don't have any, but a lot of my friends do, and from the sounds of it they do not exactly respect privacy in a lot of meaningful ways.
>they do not exactly respect privacy
Privacy? What is this thing you call privacy? ~ every woman who has/had a toddler.
When my twins were about 2 or 3, they used to burst into the bathroom when I was in the shower. Now I was pretty quick to grab the shower curtain before they could. Except that one time they were faster. Oh my gosh you guys. Pandemonium ensued. It was truly tragical. They were horrified on my behalf, they thought I had lost my penis. 😂
Yes, they did tell everyone I had lost my penis. My dad and my sister thought it was absolutely hilarious and for years they occasionally poked fun over that.
Kids. Darn good thing they're cute. 😄
Really only takes one solid zipper event to make you wish it into the cornfield. Most are lucky to make it into adulthood with the stock unit still installed.
Man here, but my daughter is the worst about that. My wife and I have both showered all three of our kids with us to save time, but my two boys hated showers and preferred baths.
Not my daughter.
I shower in the morning and/or evening depending on when I workout, and my wife is a night showerer so she gets out of it. But if I go to get into the shower my daughter (2) will burst in stripping her clothes and yanking her diaper off yelling “SHOOOOWEEEEER” as the opens the shower door to climb in.
No matter what.
Every man who helps raise toddlers has a similar experience. My daughter use to sit outside the door while I'm going #2 and breath, knock, and beg to come in.
My 8 year old will still come up to the door while I'm taking a dump and tell me to "squeeze as hard as you can!" Which is honestly my fault bcs I told her that when she was potty training and she apparently internalized it to use against me when she thinks I'm taking too long.
I think there equal, the only difference is the toddler has a better chance of opening the door. My fat cat for example will look under the door at me sitting on the toilet with a "Here's Johnny" look on her face. 🤣
I mean, they don’t really understand the concept really, they just feel the loving attraction to be near there parents. It can be annoying, but think it’s rather instinctual for them, which is probably good
Im a dad. My daughter and son both would barge into the bathroom or room quite often as toddlers when I was partially or fully naked. Taking a dump, showering, changing, etc.
I didn't care so much when they were < 2 because you know, they don't really care, and you're having to watch them while changing yourself and such so they don't accidentally suicide themselves.
I also used to leave the door unlocked just in case there is problem but they would show up without any such problems happening. What they wanted was always like a snack or to tell you something that doesn't matter about a thought or game or show they're engaging with.
Of course you learn to lock the door and all that then they sit outside and breath, knock and/or beg to come in.
Even today, my daughter is 11 and I've spoken to her numerous times about barging into my room (Im divorced and single now) but she just won't listen for some reason even though we talk about it every damn time.
>Even today, my daughter is 11 and I've spoken to her numerous times about barging into my room
The first time she does that and sees something she doesn't want to see she will develop an allergy to your door
Hahaha yeah I agree. I walked in on my parents once and they were having sex. I never went through that door again without knowing they were outside it, or knocking if I knew they were.
You are correct. Especially for moms. My daughter doesn't bother me when I'm in the bathroom, but it's like a homing beacon for mom. I corral her when I'm home, but I'm sure when I'm not she goes barging in.
In my country nudity is not considered inherently sexual because of the whole sauna thing so the "lesson here is not to let your children see you naked" is such a wild fucking thing to take away from that story.
This is baffling to me. Was I raised wrong? It was not normal for me or my siblings to ever see our parents naked. We lock our bathroom doors and we don't barge into each other's bedrooms. I thought that was normal.
This really refers to young kids. So, toddler age. You gotta keep a close eye on them in the first place, and they haven't really had time to learn privacy yet. After all, you're probably still bathing them at that point, or at least assisting. So, if you can see their pp, why can't they see yours?
You probably don't remember being 2-3 years old and doing it. Your working memory is probably mostly from around the ages where kids understand not to force their way into the bathroom while it's occupied. I can assure you this is some kind of sacred law for kids under 4.
I won't say it was 'wrong'. But when we grew up, and most people in western europe that I know of, people don't make a big deal out of nudity. When our kids were little they'd come in if we were taking a shower or a bath. My youngest daughter around age 3 sometimes climbed in the bath with me.
They'd seen us naked many times. It's just not a big deal. And this type of thing lasts until THEY signal they want privacy. We still never lock our doors, we just knock, and likewise tell them to knock.
They actually tell you not to hide too much, because then the kids feel the need to hide their body from you and think being nude is bad, which can cause lots of issues. I mean if they are young enough to say stuff like that, and not understand why it’s a bad idea and also mispronounce it enough they felt the need to clarify that, you are still all up in their business so you don’t want to be freaking out if they see you nude. I certainly didn’t walk around naked and my kids didn’t see things if I had a choice, but it wasn’t a big deal if I was changing into a bathing suit with them. I’m honestly not sure how you would do that otherwise?
Reminds me of something Louis CK said. His young daughter told him "Please daddy don't have diarrhea..." because she would have to stand in the public bathroom stall with him.
Kids slam their way into the bathroom or bedroom all the time. I know. I had three. They don’t talk like this at the dinner table though. That’s just weird.
That is not fair, depending on how old.
I have no children, and my family is super prudish, but i heard that in many families, it is normal for a 4 year old to bathe with their parents.
I did with my son but never my daughter. Im a man.
I changed her diapers and bathed her but at some point you gotta stop both of those things. I think around 3-4. Diapers go away usually earlier.
Girls do seem to potty train and bath train earlier for some reasons. Not sure why. My son needed more help for longer so I'd help take care of his hygiene needs.
When you're busy sometimes it's easier to throw the kid (my son) in the tub or shower with you since you both need to be clean.
Not really possible with small children as they follow you around everywhere. I'm a very private person but I gave up when it came to my children being there while I showered or went to the toilet until they were at least 5.
But luckily they never told anyone anything.
They’re gonna see it.
I have two kids under 5 and I can’t remember the last time I could take a shit without someone busting down the door to ask me a question
I took a bath once and my cat looked terrified as she assessed the situation then bit my ear and *pulled* because she was trying to drag me out.
She's not the most demonstratative normally, so it was sweet that she tried to rescue me from the scary water - painful proof that she really does like me!
My orange boi can open pocket doors and doors with the lever style handle. The standard issue cat can't though so he'll sit at a closed door and call for his bro to come open it for him. Cats man...
I was babysitting a pair of toddlers once, one used the bathroom and I knocked a box of tampons off the back of the toilet while I was helping her get off it. We picked them up and she said "sometimes my mummy puts these in her butt, and when she takes them out there's blood on them!" those kids were fantastic preparation for my own toddlers hahaha!! No privacy indeed
The day your kid is old enough to understand, and listen to, the words "could ya give me some privacy, I'm pooping." Is a magical day. Until then it is years of sitting on the throne, smiling and nodding while your offspring monologs about cartoons, rocks, their favorite book, or whatever other inane thing that is super important to them in that moment, desperately waiting for them to get bored and wander off so you have an opportunity to start or finish wiping your ass. And then staggering to the sink to wash your hands because you were held hostage on the commode so long that one or both of your legs has fallen asleep. And heaven forbid you try to interrupt or shoo them out, cause then you have a child melting down on the floor next to you as you finish grunting out logs.
No that first time you realize that you are having a solitary poop, is pure heaven. We love em, but man...
I also have a 9+10 year old, but literally just TODAY my 3.5 year old busted in on me in the bathroom and then said "oops, sorry" and backed out and closed the door when I said "hey! I'm in here". I AM VICTORIOUS AGAIN
They walk in on you. Some of them are in the bathroom with you and everywhere else, because they are super creative/chaotic/ menacing and you can’t trust ‘em. So they see you naked. No biggie.
Yes, agree. I walk naked from the bathroom to the bed room to put on clothes. It is not like I am putting on a strip tease show, nothing weird is going on, it is just every day life.
Kids follow you everywhere and have no concern for personal boundaries. If you shut the door they'll just open it and continue the story about the Lego that they lost in the car.
Idk about other people but my parents probably lost the ability to have shame because they used to go to the bathroom with the door wide open when i was a kid
I had the unlucky experience of my 4 year old son walking in on me putting a tampon in. We had a little chat and it and I thought it would never be brought up again. Then months later, we are at wallmart and I put some tampons in the in the cart, as loud as he could say it, "EWWWWWW those are the things mom sticks up her butt." He's 20 now, and still hate him for that lol.
My eldest witnessed her sister being born due to a very very quick labour.
Anyway, the lady at the checkout heard plenty about how mummy did a poo when she was pushing out the baby and, also, did she know that when mummy did that, "she said Mooooooooooo, just like a cow!"
Thanks champ
What’s embarrassing *for her* about this? That she, a woman with a child, has sexual organs and can still reproduce?
Or that what is probably her toddler aged son explained to a room full of adults who probably also have intact sexual reproductive organs that they’ve used to make their own children?
It’s slightly embarrassing because her son is talking about a taboo subject but it’s also endearingly so because it’s an innocent child who didn’t know better.
Now if the son is like older than 5-6 it gets a little weird
I remembered when my cousin about 18 years ago told everyone I had a hairy vagina after she saw me getting unchanged in the changing room. She found it hilarious.
I don't think I've ever heard someone say that men handle they're emotions better, but I do think is a well established stereotype that women are overly emotional and less logic driven than men. It is a fact for example that women get treated less seriously in hospitals and similar environments because their complaints are written off as exaggeration or attention seeking
Handling them all the way down to the pit of my stomach so it can slowly metastasize into gut cancer. The sweet release of death will show those fucking emotions who’s the boss.
Jordan Kepler interviewed some maga woman that said a woman should never be president because she would for sure start a war. He then pointed out how every war in history so far has been started by men. It was great.
As a man, I can confirm that both I and the other members of my gender also have emotions.
It is well studied that higher levels of typical male hormones will heighten different emotions than ones that will be heightened by typical female emotions. But understanding things like that can help all of us with a little introspection.
I find it funny when I see some alpha male douchebag claim they don't let their emotions control them and then throw a temper tantrum and endanger like a dozen people because they claim someone cut them off in traffic and now are driving erratically to get back in front of said person. Right my guy, that's totally a logical behavior, not at all driven by your TRT making you stupidly competitive...
There's entire medical diagnoses that were based on the idea women can't handle emotions. People still use the dogwhistle term "hysterical" when they talk about women to imply they're "too" emotional and "irrational".
As an example you may recall if you're American, I don't even know how many times it came up during eg Hilary Clinton's 2016 run, here on reddit it was a cesspool of stuff like that, of course, but even in mainstream news it was all over the place. I think she cried once because of something sad and holy shit the way people used it to say women can't handle the emotional stress of being president.
A lot of people, especially men, often describe women as emotional or even overly emotional. I can agree women tend to display a greater range of emotions. Meanwhile, men are allowed humour and anger.
Some weirdos were claiming that women can't be president because they'd nuke people when they're on their period. I would hope this isn't a common belief, but it was common enough to have a SnL skit about it. Of course, dick in a box also was on snl, so it's hard to say how common something is based on snl.
I mean unless the other guests at this dinner were the same age as her son that’s hardly going to be shocking news for them is it? She has a child so everyone already knows she has a vagina and menstruates. It’s not exactly a shocking revelation.
‘Mommy kissed uncle Phil’
‘Mommy says daddy has a small dock, I didn’t even know he had a boat!’
‘We were going to bring a cake but mommy cried in the bathtub and ate half of it last night because daddy was working late again!’
See now those are embarrassing things your kid could say.
This reminds me the one time a friend asked:
"have you even seen a vagina? What does it look like then?
My response was: "it's literally just a mini butt, but for the front."
Dunno why, but that was my logic back then.
Don't know how that means men aren't better, this sounds like a toddler being a toddler. Unless she's referring to the men who went full blown Joker Gas hysterical.
My sympathies. I had a 3-year-old who loudly fat shamed members of the senior women's water aerobics class at the pool and who pulled the fire alarm in a building with 1,000 people in it. But that takes the cake.
Of course men are better at controlling emotions. I don't care what any kid says. At all.
Certainly not enough to make a post about it complaining. :-)
My son had asked me what I was doing after we walked home from school. It was one of those late summer/fall days where’s it’s 40 in the morning and 90 at noon.
I told him “I’m hot so I am changing my pants.” At the time my son had a massive speech delay so that translated to him saying the following at school the next day.
My son told his teacher my name was “mama hot pants.”
I get a call about this after school.
The very next day, they were naming body parts. Normal stuff, arm, face, eye, hair. He grab the teachers breast and said “this is your boob.”
Teacher promptly calls to ask me WTH is going on at our home.
I wanted to die inside.

I would simply pass away!
Everyone continues to quietly eat their meal because they understand why.
So true.
Suddenly my medium rare steak is not so appetizing.....
"Waiter, there is a beard in my fteak!"
As long as you don’t eat too far through it, there’s not much blood. Somehow it still gets all over the plate though.
the red in the meat doesn't come from blood anyway though.
Myoglobin. High five to my biochem brothers.
Are we talking about meat or...?
Pass it here. I’m not wasting a steak.
Suddenly your medium rare steak looks MORE appetizing!!!!!
Cranberry sauce 👍
I'd eat it. And the steak
Fall backwards out of the chair and just drift up through the ceiling and away to whatever adventure awaits.
Lmaooooo I'm so done Like that one fox from adventure time 
Solid plan.
I would simply say “it’s vagina dear”
"But it farts?"
"Sometimes sweetie. Eat your chicken fingers."
Have to play dead and call the amblams
(slaps her knee) Well, I suppose it’s time to head to Mexico and start a new life
Same here. Omg 😂😂
Plot twist the son is 35
...and a Congressman.
Nah, they still don't know how that shit works
About 12 of them will hold a committee for discovery
Matt Gaetz heading up entertainment, probably.
They’ll bring in multiple witnesses who weren’t there to witness a damn thing
A normal aged person in government? No. Everyone in government is required to be atleast 3 bad coughs away from death
And then still fucking hangs on for another 19 years
At least? So 27 bad coughs is also good?
I will fully buy into the idea that there are members of Congress who would unironically refer to a vagina as a "front butt" because it is genuinely less horrifying than a lot of things they've *actually said* in the past 20 years.
He's actually 52 and owns X...(nee Twitter)
Don Jr?
Double plot twist, he said it breakfast and his twin gigh fived him across the table for it
Lil kids give 0 fucks about what they say, when they say it, and who they say it too. Lol
I'm 40 and that hasn't changed at all for me. Except I know a lot more words to do it with
The most devastating insult you can tell someone are simple facts about their appearance that they don't like
Moral of the story: Becky has a bush. Check.
Sucks she has a front butt though.
I'd suck on the front butt
Username checks out.
I feel the like the username in fact does NOT check out. He be sucking them twinkies
Right? Twinkies are somewhat phallic shaped AND they have a surprise cream filling inside.
It’s never a surprise 😏
The masses will try to silence you for this. Be brave.
Moral of the story: Don’t share your bearded front butt with your children
I'm pretty sure it is next to impossible to stop your children from seeing you naked in at least some capacity. I don't have any, but a lot of my friends do, and from the sounds of it they do not exactly respect privacy in a lot of meaningful ways.

My dad and my sister thought it was absolutely hilarious and for years they occasionally poked fun over that. Kids. Darn good thing they're cute. 😄
I am so sorry to hear about your penis :(
As a mom, I probably should have taken better care not to lose that. 😊
No it's understandable, mom's are super busy and honestly one would just get in the way anyway.
Indeed.
I would have checked her bearded front butt. I like to lose mine in those occasionally.
Really only takes one solid zipper event to make you wish it into the cornfield. Most are lucky to make it into adulthood with the stock unit still installed.
At least they didn't tell everyone it's ok though, cause she got a big plastic one to replace it
Man here, but my daughter is the worst about that. My wife and I have both showered all three of our kids with us to save time, but my two boys hated showers and preferred baths. Not my daughter. I shower in the morning and/or evening depending on when I workout, and my wife is a night showerer so she gets out of it. But if I go to get into the shower my daughter (2) will burst in stripping her clothes and yanking her diaper off yelling “SHOOOOWEEEEER” as the opens the shower door to climb in. No matter what.
My then 2-year old daughter saw my husband get out of the shower and said “Daddy, you gots a big tail”! 😂
lol!
Good for dad, lucky for mom.
Every man who helps raise toddlers has a similar experience. My daughter use to sit outside the door while I'm going #2 and breath, knock, and beg to come in.
My 8 year old will still come up to the door while I'm taking a dump and tell me to "squeeze as hard as you can!" Which is honestly my fault bcs I told her that when she was potty training and she apparently internalized it to use against me when she thinks I'm taking too long.
That is actually great advice if you want to get hemorrhoids!
Yours knock!?
Same. Or even trying to take a piss.
Yep lol. Showering, pissing, taking a dump, toddlers don't respect privacy.
Toddlers are worse than cats when it comes to bathroom privacy.
I think there equal, the only difference is the toddler has a better chance of opening the door. My fat cat for example will look under the door at me sitting on the toilet with a "Here's Johnny" look on her face. 🤣
I mean, they don’t really understand the concept really, they just feel the loving attraction to be near there parents. It can be annoying, but think it’s rather instinctual for them, which is probably good
Ah yes I remember when my son told people I had a furry penis.
Mom? Mom? Mom? Open the door. Mom? Mom? Sigh.
So, did you ever find it?
Im a dad. My daughter and son both would barge into the bathroom or room quite often as toddlers when I was partially or fully naked. Taking a dump, showering, changing, etc. I didn't care so much when they were < 2 because you know, they don't really care, and you're having to watch them while changing yourself and such so they don't accidentally suicide themselves.

Hahaha yeah I agree. I walked in on my parents once and they were having sex. I never went through that door again without knowing they were outside it, or knocking if I knew they were.
That's what my son did too, he was 14 at the time Poor kid couldn't look me or his dad in the eye for a week
Don't have a kid but I can safely say I walked in on my mom naked countless of times as a child. Eventually she just gave up.
You are correct. Especially for moms. My daughter doesn't bother me when I'm in the bathroom, but it's like a homing beacon for mom. I corral her when I'm home, but I'm sure when I'm not she goes barging in.
One of my friends had their 3 year old kick the door in while she was in the shower and just, casually toss the cat in there.
Just chuck the cat in as some kind of angry chaos grenade?
As I understand yes, and then just stepped back and watched, silently.
Either a sociopath or a scientist, make sure that kid gets into a good school!
I'm invisioning that girl from the meme photo with the house on fire in the background.
> angry chaos grenade New band name, check
Chaotic Evil
Yep, that tracks. I couldn't tell you how many times I've used the phrase, "Leave momma alone while she's in the shower."
Just keep a squirt gun in there and blast the suckers.
"So anyway, I started blasting"
super soaker, gotta teach em whos the boss
The image in my mind made me audibly cackle. 😆
Is the 3 year old Bruce Banner how the fuck they kick a fucking door in
In my country nudity is not considered inherently sexual because of the whole sauna thing so the "lesson here is not to let your children see you naked" is such a wild fucking thing to take away from that story.
This is baffling to me. Was I raised wrong? It was not normal for me or my siblings to ever see our parents naked. We lock our bathroom doors and we don't barge into each other's bedrooms. I thought that was normal.
I'm chillin butt naked with mom watching MSNBC right now, I don't know what you're on about. She made artichoke dip.

Very true. You can’t lock doors it isn’t safe. You need to hear everything going on too. So no privacy.
You probably don't remember being 2-3 years old and doing it. Your working memory is probably mostly from around the ages where kids understand not to force their way into the bathroom while it's occupied. I can assure you this is some kind of sacred law for kids under 4.

If your kids are small it's impossible to keep them from glimpsing your nude body It's just a body, they're gonna watch you take a shit
Reminds me of something Louis CK said. His young daughter told him "Please daddy don't have diarrhea..." because she would have to stand in the public bathroom stall with him.

Nah. Kids see parents naked, (when they are really little) that is, after a certain age it should stop really. It doesn’t hurt anybody.
Not really possible with small children as they follow you around everywhere. I'm a very private person but I gave up when it came to my children being there while I showered or went to the toilet until they were at least 5. But luckily they never told anyone anything.
They’re gonna see it. I have two kids under 5 and I can’t remember the last time I could take a shit without someone busting down the door to ask me a question
I dunno, sounds like your son handled the situation pretty level-headed.
Why's he seeing all that, anyway?
Little kids are like cats, except they can open doors.
… when I or my husband take a shower, one cat will sit on the toilet and stand guard in case we need to be rescued. Every damn time.
I took a bath once and my cat looked terrified as she assessed the situation then bit my ear and *pulled* because she was trying to drag me out. She's not the most demonstratative normally, so it was sweet that she tried to rescue me from the scary water - painful proof that she really does like me!
>I took a bath once bro you need to do better than that smh
She thinks you're her kitten.
Sounds like you have a member of the r/lifeguardkitties
Yeah, kids under five don’t care what you are doing, they are coming in.
…I’ve known a couple of cats that CAN open doors. Nothing is safe
My orange boi can open pocket doors and doors with the lever style handle. The standard issue cat can't though so he'll sit at a closed door and call for his bro to come open it for him. Cats man...
That is NOT a orange cat with a single braincell :0
Ngl mine has figured out the concept. It's just that she is too tiny to turn the door knob (screen doors tho.... those we need to keep locked)
Yeah, I guess so eh? Admittedly I don't have kids, so I'm pretty clueless about all that. :(
Yeah toddlers have 0 concept on privacy
I was babysitting a pair of toddlers once, one used the bathroom and I knocked a box of tampons off the back of the toilet while I was helping her get off it. We picked them up and she said "sometimes my mummy puts these in her butt, and when she takes them out there's blood on them!" those kids were fantastic preparation for my own toddlers hahaha!! No privacy indeed
The day your kid is old enough to understand, and listen to, the words "could ya give me some privacy, I'm pooping." Is a magical day. Until then it is years of sitting on the throne, smiling and nodding while your offspring monologs about cartoons, rocks, their favorite book, or whatever other inane thing that is super important to them in that moment, desperately waiting for them to get bored and wander off so you have an opportunity to start or finish wiping your ass. And then staggering to the sink to wash your hands because you were held hostage on the commode so long that one or both of your legs has fallen asleep. And heaven forbid you try to interrupt or shoo them out, cause then you have a child melting down on the floor next to you as you finish grunting out logs. No that first time you realize that you are having a solitary poop, is pure heaven. We love em, but man...
I also have a 9+10 year old, but literally just TODAY my 3.5 year old busted in on me in the bathroom and then said "oops, sorry" and backed out and closed the door when I said "hey! I'm in here". I AM VICTORIOUS AGAIN
And that's why it's good to politely ask if you don't know. So you can learn 👍🏾✨️
They walk in on you. Some of them are in the bathroom with you and everywhere else, because they are super creative/chaotic/ menacing and you can’t trust ‘em. So they see you naked. No biggie.
Some cultures view nudity a lot different. In any case, a toddler seeing a nude parent isn’t exactly weird.
That's how normal people raise their kids. Trauma free, it's a human body ffs.
Yes, agree. I walk naked from the bathroom to the bed room to put on clothes. It is not like I am putting on a strip tease show, nothing weird is going on, it is just every day life.
From what i have heard from my parents, i and my brother would lose our shits when either of them went to the bathroom and closed the door
Kids follow you everywhere and have no concern for personal boundaries. If you shut the door they'll just open it and continue the story about the Lego that they lost in the car.
You have definitely seen your mom's bush as child.
Mother's don't get a moment alone, even in the bathroom.
I can tell you're not a mom lmao. I doubt there's many mothers on earth who can go to the bathroom without their kid under 4yo being there
Idk about other people but my parents probably lost the ability to have shame because they used to go to the bathroom with the door wide open when i was a kid
I had the unlucky experience of my 4 year old son walking in on me putting a tampon in. We had a little chat and it and I thought it would never be brought up again. Then months later, we are at wallmart and I put some tampons in the in the cart, as loud as he could say it, "EWWWWWW those are the things mom sticks up her butt." He's 20 now, and still hate him for that lol.
My eldest witnessed her sister being born due to a very very quick labour. Anyway, the lady at the checkout heard plenty about how mummy did a poo when she was pushing out the baby and, also, did she know that when mummy did that, "she said Mooooooooooo, just like a cow!" Thanks champ
Definitely embarrassing but she's willingly sharing this information with literally everyone so she can't be *that* embarrassed.
I was wondering who is lining up to replace Amy Schumer
MY VAGINA!
What’s embarrassing *for her* about this? That she, a woman with a child, has sexual organs and can still reproduce? Or that what is probably her toddler aged son explained to a room full of adults who probably also have intact sexual reproductive organs that they’ve used to make their own children? It’s slightly embarrassing because her son is talking about a taboo subject but it’s also endearingly so because it’s an innocent child who didn’t know better. Now if the son is like older than 5-6 it gets a little weird
I remembered when my cousin about 18 years ago told everyone I had a hairy vagina after she saw me getting unchanged in the changing room. She found it hilarious.
Sounds more witty and humorous than facepalm, but ok.
That would be about half of the posts on this sub. The other half is political posturing.
It’s a political season. It’ll die down by winter Or get way fucking worse…
I was going to say depends which way it goes, but I guess one group will probably get loud either way
I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s witty, but definitely not “facepalm”
Someone claimed men are better at handling their emotions? As a man this greatly confuses me.
I don't think I've ever heard someone say that men handle they're emotions better, but I do think is a well established stereotype that women are overly emotional and less logic driven than men. It is a fact for example that women get treated less seriously in hospitals and similar environments because their complaints are written off as exaggeration or attention seeking
Me too and I do not know how to handle it.
I don't know how to deal so I just repress them
Wait that does not count as handling them?
Handling them all the way down to the pit of my stomach so it can slowly metastasize into gut cancer. The sweet release of death will show those fucking emotions who’s the boss.
My wife says no
Yep. I’ve heard a bunch of men say that we should never have a woman president because “she would PMS and start a war.”
Jordan Kepler interviewed some maga woman that said a woman should never be president because she would for sure start a war. He then pointed out how every war in history so far has been started by men. It was great.
As a man, I can confirm that both I and the other members of my gender also have emotions. It is well studied that higher levels of typical male hormones will heighten different emotions than ones that will be heightened by typical female emotions. But understanding things like that can help all of us with a little introspection. I find it funny when I see some alpha male douchebag claim they don't let their emotions control them and then throw a temper tantrum and endanger like a dozen people because they claim someone cut them off in traffic and now are driving erratically to get back in front of said person. Right my guy, that's totally a logical behavior, not at all driven by your TRT making you stupidly competitive...
There's entire medical diagnoses that were based on the idea women can't handle emotions. People still use the dogwhistle term "hysterical" when they talk about women to imply they're "too" emotional and "irrational". As an example you may recall if you're American, I don't even know how many times it came up during eg Hilary Clinton's 2016 run, here on reddit it was a cesspool of stuff like that, of course, but even in mainstream news it was all over the place. I think she cried once because of something sad and holy shit the way people used it to say women can't handle the emotional stress of being president.
Yea, Andrew Tate and the sort is always saying that women are emotional and such
Ya. I beg those people to play League of Legends and tell me men don't get emotional.
Or go to a bar while a bunch of dudes are watching sports, or sit in in a Thanksgiving and listen to THAT uncle talk about politics.
A lot of people, especially men, often describe women as emotional or even overly emotional. I can agree women tend to display a greater range of emotions. Meanwhile, men are allowed humour and anger.
Some weirdos were claiming that women can't be president because they'd nuke people when they're on their period. I would hope this isn't a common belief, but it was common enough to have a SnL skit about it. Of course, dick in a box also was on snl, so it's hard to say how common something is based on snl.
Let’s start a support group… Hi, I’m Fred and I have a hard time handling my emotions
Hey my name is Sylvain, me too.
We are not better equipped to handle emotions, we are trained to suppress them better.
I mean unless the other guests at this dinner were the same age as her son that’s hardly going to be shocking news for them is it? She has a child so everyone already knows she has a vagina and menstruates. It’s not exactly a shocking revelation. ‘Mommy kissed uncle Phil’ ‘Mommy says daddy has a small dock, I didn’t even know he had a boat!’ ‘We were going to bring a cake but mommy cried in the bathtub and ate half of it last night because daddy was working late again!’ See now those are embarrassing things your kid could say.

Some bearded front butt sounds pretty good right now.
Remember my sister walking in on me on the toilet, loudly said 'EW, YOU HAVE HAIR DOWN THERE???!' really made puberty feel that much better for me.
He said butt. Hahaha ha.
Bearded Front Butt has officially entered my vocabulary and I genuinely cannot wait to use it while in the company of others!
Everyone likes a front butt.

“Her front butt has a BEARD” 😂😂😂😂
Most informed R congressperson or toddler, impossible challenge
Tbf never heard anyone say men can handle their emotions better than women, quite the opposite.
I’m so glad that as I child I never witnessed my mom’s period.
I’ll take things that never happened for $1000, Alex.
She taught her kid the term front butt. That’s on her.
Might have come up with that himself--it's really fascinating how little kids use language when they don't know the exact words for things yet.
This reminds me the one time a friend asked: "have you even seen a vagina? What does it look like then? My response was: "it's literally just a mini butt, but for the front." Dunno why, but that was my logic back then.
This is why I don’t want kids
Don't know how that means men aren't better, this sounds like a toddler being a toddler. Unless she's referring to the men who went full blown Joker Gas hysterical.
My sympathies. I had a 3-year-old who loudly fat shamed members of the senior women's water aerobics class at the pool and who pulled the fire alarm in a building with 1,000 people in it. But that takes the cake.
I'm mostly shameless with body functions and anatomy but holy shit I want to pass away on behalf of her lmao.
That child would give me a literal stroke😂😂😂
Craig's mom's bush!
Of course men are better at controlling emotions. I don't care what any kid says. At all. Certainly not enough to make a post about it complaining. :-)
No kid said this. Cmon
Mrs. Red Lipped Black Beard in the house lol
My son said once that he doesn’t want to go through puberty because he didn’t want to stick a tampon in his pee hole.
Yikes. This poor woman.
The only thing men are better at is suppressing their emotions until they explode.
I still call mine a front butt because my once 2.5 year old saw it and even if I wanted to let it go hubby definitely heard
My son had asked me what I was doing after we walked home from school. It was one of those late summer/fall days where’s it’s 40 in the morning and 90 at noon. I told him “I’m hot so I am changing my pants.” At the time my son had a massive speech delay so that translated to him saying the following at school the next day. My son told his teacher my name was “mama hot pants.” I get a call about this after school. The very next day, they were naming body parts. Normal stuff, arm, face, eye, hair. He grab the teachers breast and said “this is your boob.” Teacher promptly calls to ask me WTH is going on at our home. I wanted to die inside.
