Vagina MuseumApr 23
This rather cursed screenshot was sent to us, and we regret to inform you that quite a lot of people seem to believe this myth, and related myths surrounding the vulva. These myths been around for literal millennia, even though there is no rooting whatsoever in reality. Let's take a little look at the history of misogyny and racism inherent in this belief...

@vagina_museum people ... actually believe this stuff? ​​

@lumi @vagina_museum yeah, so many people nowadays have basically zero clue about the anatomy of the opposite gender and end up believing something a trendy clown tells them on the internet

@arh @vagina_museum this is a little bit beside the point, but i don't like the term "the opposite gender", it makes it sound like male and female are somehow opposites

we're just two variations of the same species

and even that is misleading, because there is a whole spectrum

@lumi @vagina_museum i agree with you and realistically i don't think we're opposites in the normal sense of the word but i don't think i know any other terms that would mean "men if you're a woman and women if you're a man". the other gender maybe? maybe there's a better term for it and just my english is bad?

@arh @vagina_museum @lumi "people are often unfamiliar with anatomy that they don't have and tend to believe misinformation about it"
