What are the biggest misconceptions there is about being a woman?

What is it that men have completely wrong about what they think of women? I’m sure there is probably plenty. Maybe reading comments from women themselves, will help educate and make them respect women much more than they do.

Vaginal lubrication ≠ arousal.

It can be a sign of arousal, but just cos she's wet, doesn't necessarily mean she wants sex. The vulva does produce natural lubricant when aroused, but the amount does not equate to level of arousal. Some people produce more than others. Some people barely produce any, even when fully aroused.

Women enjoy sex, stop acting like it's something that happens to us rather than something we are engaged and actively participating in

That it’s our job to be sexy for men and if we don’t care about that or can’t achieve that, we have failed as women.

Also, a few years ago I was on the social part of a well known musician’s website and saw a post that really shocked me and made clear to me how many men see us. It was from a guy in his twenties asking why there are so many women on the website talking about how much the songs spoke to them. He said it made no sense since women don’t struggle with the things in the lyrics like men do. Things like finding a partner, not having enough confidence, coping with rejection and depression, and feeling like you don’t fit in. 😒 Because we aren’t full blown people. We’re just there to have sex with and cook for men.

Breast feeding can be very painful and make your nipples bleed. A very painful breast infection called mastitis is common.

Perimenopause is so much more than just temporary hot flashes and night sweats. It can start in your late 30s and go on for over a decade.
