[@silver5866]

Right? I don't even know how many stitches I got. Not because I was torn that badly, but because I was exhausted and didn't even think about it until almost a week after. I had enough energy to never take my eyes away from her except to share a teary smile with my husband. By then, the worst of the immediate physical pain was over, and I was overwhelmed with how glad I was that she was arguably perfect. A little red/puffy in the face, but she didn't look...kinda squished... like I've seen in a lot of newborns. It's a rediculously painful experience, immediately followed by a rush of oxytocin and pure relief that we both made it (I was getting kinda scared as the due date came closer; if you've never even had surgery before, childbirth automatically seems like a terribly dangerous thing.) Then again, that kind of "person" would almost certainly try to equate it to post-naughty tiredness or something equally stupid. I initially thought he was going to say that women only love their babies because of the oxytocin. Guess I expected too much 😅

I really like that they took this to heart in the Online game set in Middle Earth, where you can't select a gender for Dwarves, and some Dwarven NPCs are referred to with she/her pronouns and have a slightly higher voice ^^ This also raises a lot of questions, such as, do Dwarves even have a concept of hetero/homo sexual, or do they just pair up with whoever and sometimes that makes babies?

Sir Terry Pratchets Discworld goes into that topic several times over the whole series. Traditional Dwarves use male pronouns and look the same. There are important anatomical differences, but traditional dwarven women are not supposed to show them. Usually dwarven courting centers around trying to politely figure out the gender of the other without being so crass as to actually ask a direct question. Later in the series, businesses appear that cater to the emerging tastes of dwarven women with products like delicatly engraved Battleaxes suitable to wear with your evening dress or clothing made from micro-chainmail.

[@midnaphai]

@@thornwalker8970 It's not like all ancient artists had an agreement on what's the correct interpretation of pp size. Since people back then were just as childish as today artists would simply make the pp small or hide it behind something to make it less distracting. Art itself was a business so if someone requested his statue to have a big pp they'd do it, otherwise they'd just keep it out of focus. So in a way it's linked to the commissioner's ego, but there probably was a few artists who would give any statue big pp because they like it. Can't generalize something like that for all of ancient greece.

@@necrosteel5013 There’s an easy answer to that. The heavier your breasts, the more weight the bra has to hold. That’s why the bra has to sit somewhat tight to be able to actually hold that weight. This in turn causes the wire or fabric under the breasts to dig into the ribcage and the straps to dig into the shoulders.

The US also has random sizes tossed in the mix which rarely increase the cup but increase the band spacing in the back (dddd is one, I'm not sure if ddd is as well), making it hard to tell if the cup or band is the issue, not to mention consistency within brands tends to be pretty rare (specific cut/style within a brand, not between cuts since those are intentionally different). Add in a dollop of $70-$90 a piece (again, my experience the cost to find ones that are my size/mostly work for me) to something which digs in, or gapes, or causes bruises/lacerations, yeah, that puppy is coming off soon as I don't have to be near people.

[@b.f.2461]

Many many years ago, my mother, exhausted from raising two toddlers, went to her doctor complaining of fatigue. “No problem,” he said, “we have these wonderful new pills that will make you fly through your daily chores.” A month later, she went back to complain that although she now had tons of energy, she couldn’t sleep at night. “No problem,” he said, “we have these wonderful new pills that will make you fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow.” My mother, God bless her, said “this makes no sense, I’m just back where I started,” and ditched both prescriptions. Which is how my mother didn’t get on the upper/downer treadmill so many women of the era did.

How to write a female character, 1.pretend it's a man 2.make a story for them 3.make them a woman

[@justarandombigguy8329]

I understand the intention and in terms of personality...

Equal does not mean identical. Women are different from men, at the very least through being treated differently our entire lives. Denying that truth is similar to 'not seeing colour.'

Interesting thing about male vs female anatomy: The male perineum (space between the testicles and anus) is about twice as long on average as the female perineum (in her case, the space between the vagina/ end of the labia and the anus). Another fun fact: The perineum is an erogenous zone in both sexes, but it seems only gay males tend to find out about this. (using 'male' and 'female' here to indicate I'm talking about sex not gender). The average length of the female perineum is about 3.90cm or about 1.53" - the studies that cause humanity to know this seem to have been courtesy of the doctors who need to sew that sh*t back together after it rips (or nowadays, is cut by doctors) during childbirth if the baby's head is too big. From this perspective, having a longer perineum is better for the female, as you don't want to rip/cut too far. Still, it seems evolution has been inconsiderate both of the growth of the human head over time, and of the evolutionary dead end who gets so grossed out thinking about it that he considers himself the clever one for remaining celibate all his life.

It's definitely a good option to have for when they notice the head is too big or any other complications occur. My shock was kind of the same as when I first heard about how c-sections work. And when I got to know about epidurals. They all seem so grotesque and violent, but they're all for the better for both the mother and baby.

​@@rory0233I'm not at all an expert in the lore around the force... But the explanation I came up with for myself is the following: Since force users can, if they are strong enough, contact living people after their death. Clone wars did some episodes on how Yoda goes through a number of tests if he is strong (or goodhearted?) enough. If that's the case, that a strong force user can somehow have a part of themselves outlive death, than an traumatic event involving the force could impact other living beings. She was attacked by the force and seen a fall to the dark side with her own eyes. I guess even non froce users could be affected by the disturbance that creates. Also, I don't know if in a world where the force exists, depression and loosing the will to live could manifest in death even if the individual is not an active force user. As far as I know all living creatures have a bit of force in them. I'm terribly sorry if I miss out on some terminology or some facts. That's just what I concluded after seeing the frost six movies and a portion of clone wars (Yoda already passed said tasks that probed if he would be able to create his 'force ghost' to contact people after his death'

I really love that point about comparing yourself in a skill to those who are better than you without considering the factors at play which may make them excel and you struggle more. For example, as an artist, I can often times find myself envying artists who are above my skill level that are of similar age to me or younger. But I have to step back and think: I have poor health. I don't live with my parents. I was discouraged from drawing growing up. They started with shaming and mocking me for drawing things they did not personally like (which could literally just be women at the beach wearing swimsuits that more than covered everything) and expanded all the way to making it a house rule that *I did not have permission to draw.* If I was caught drawing, I had to be able to pull out the assignment sheet or some other form of evidence that it was required to be done for a grade. I now live on my own and have to work as much as my body can comfortably handle to pay the bills. Are these artists that I am so envious of going through anything remotely similar to me? No? A lot of them come from loving families and are taking art classes in college? Than why do I expect myself to be better than them when they were placed in an environment that allowed them to thrive whereas I have far more hurdles than them? How is that fair to me? It's not.
