Awareness of…?
On the one hand “anyone with a cervix,” on the other hand drop your pants. Insult in ALL the ways.
Why not “Spread’em, honey”?

That has to be the worst ad campaign I’ve ever seen.

Won’t surprise me if they try to eliminate obstetrics and gynecology completely. Maybe when, not if. :P
Is that a pair of men’s briefs in the lower right corner?
In changing the word “women” to “anyone with a cervix” the Bailiwick Cancer Screening committee has managed to exclude anyone who doesn’t know what a cervix is — which includes a surprising amount of cervix-havers, especially among the poor, the less educated, and the immigrant communities.
But it’s fine to marginalize them as long as it soothes the feelings of the transgender.
Oh look, more horseshit for kiddies! https://time.com/6053526/children-pronouns-gender-inclusivity/
Maybe they can just stop providing medical care to cervix-havers in general, and let them go extent. There are enough transwomen to keep the human species going, aren’t there?
Maybe it’s an ad for stain-proof underwear?
I was horrified when I taught in Texas to discover that most of my biology students didn’t know which sex had the uterus. They also correctly identified the pig’s testicles in the dissection test, then told me the pig was female. These were pre-med students, not poor or less educated. They were some of the brightest students in the country…but with schools not teaching sex education properly, they often didn’t get it from anywhere.
Or…maybe I’m wrong. Maybe the pig identified as female. Maybe I was misgendering the pig. That could be why it was dead…it committed swinocide.
Could it have been an issue of terminology? That they were familiar with the word “womb”, rather than “uterus”?
Ah, that makes my above theory less likely. (Though maybe they were familiar with the term “balls”? “Nuts”?)
This is exremely upsetting. :-(
GW, these kids assumed the larger worm must be the male; in ascarid worms, the female is larger and the male has a hook on the end. They think simplistically, because they are being taught in K-12 through means of games, and it is believed now that children must be in charge of the education because they are the experts on themselves. Maybe (I don’t think so, and have said so before), but they certainly are not the experts on content.
Yes, they know the word balls, and that guys have balls, and that testicles were balls, but they never put together those concepts to realize that if guys have balls and testicles are balls, then the pig with the testicles must be…a male pig.
They know words, but not how to understand them together. They know certain basics (and they did not know womb), but not how to bring these concepts together to make sense of them.
I suspect this is one reason gender ID bullshit has been so easy to spread through the youth.
That’s really, really interesting, thank you.
On not knowing the word “womb” — did they believe that a fetus (if they knew that word) lived in its mothers “belly”? “Tummy”?
GW, the main impression I got is that they just didn’t think about it. I don’t think the use of words has as much meaning for young people now as it did when I was a kid. I knew which sex had a uterus by the time I was 9 – and my mother was notoriously prudish. She didn’t see anything wrong with knowing things like that, and I had younger siblings born when I was old enough to understand. She did throw a fit when my son was two and referred to his penis as a penis. Somehow the scientific terms seem dirtier to her than “peepee”.
I encounter the same phenomenon in Earth Science, so I don’t think it’s just about sex education; students are not drilled on vocabulary like we were, and are not given enough practice in putting concepts together to understand what relates to what. I try to challenge them, and most of them are willing to rise to the occasion, so at least they get exposed in college. (I know a lot of the other faculty do that, also.)
‘… anyone with a cervix’: it makes it sound as though a cervix is something you might keep in a cupboard at home or carry around in a bag with you. Or perhaps it might be a special certificate kept in your wallet.
Or a weird kind of plus-one. “You and your cervix are invited to dinner Wednesday next.”
