The sexism on mainstream Reddit

this article was one of the first search results I came up with and has some good info: https://yourdaye.com/vitals/womens-health/what-is-squirting-female-ejaculation

the short answer is that no one really knows. the longer answer is that the fluid is possibly created by a gland similar to the prostate and fills the bladder before being expelled, which is why it is similar in some ways to urine.

the reason I call it a tool of the patriarchy is because it’s used to shame women for natural bodily functions. men ejaculate nearly every time they have sex, but there is no trend of ridiculing them for being gross/dirty. men are allowed to orgasm without being critiqued for the way they do it. men can openly fart or burp or adjust their balls or talk about bathroom business and everyone laughs it off as “boys being boys” but a woman doing any of the same would be an anomaly. it’s just another way they want to hold women to a standard that men aren’t expected to meet.

and that’s not to mention the cycle of women being depicted as frigid and 100% uninterested in sex, while also being disparaged for being sex-hungry hypergamous whores, meant to keep us constantly on edge and desperate for male validation that we’re “not like other girls” where “like other girls” could mean either uninterested in sex or way too interested in sex. damned if you do and damned if you don’t with these boys.
