Don’t folks with us
I suppose they think this makes them look up to date and aware, or down with the kids, or something, but you’d think they’d also be able to see that it makes them look like complete fools to most adults. Planned Parenthood, that is.
We’re in the midst of a sex-positivity boom that’s dispelling long-held beliefs about who can and should experience pleasure—which is, of course, all humans. But up until recently, that sexual-pleasure narrative centered almost entirely on people with penises, rooted first in the belief that non-procreative sex was taboo for people with vaginas, and later, in an evolved (but not any less sexist) understanding that, while folks with vaginas could find pleasure in sex, orgasm for penis-havers was both more powerful and more important. As societal norms propped up this perspective, few scientists sought to prove otherwise, which just reinforced the cycle—until the full anatomy of the clitoris was mapped in 2005, busting open a new world for female sexual pleasure.
People with penises, people with vaginas, folks with vaginas, penis-havers. Baby talk. Planned Parenthood used to be a grown-up organization with serious work to do.
Clearly, we’re doomed.
They accidentally did slip in one females there at the end. How long until the dogpile starts, and they have to abjectly apologize for the implication that the people with vaginas are women?
And after all that effort, they slipped up anyway. The last sentence implies that the clitoris has something to do with female sexual pleasure! #PlannedParenthoodkillstranskids
The older you get, the more charming it becomes when each new generation thinks they invented sex. Yes, that’s right, nobody thought people with vaginas could get pleasure from sex before 2005. Nobody. Ever. Millennia of people somehow reproducing, but nobody ever thought about that. People even called them “women,” a name which totally obfuscates the most important thing about them.
