okay maybe this is a woke take but I think female condoms are ridiculous. Regular condoms are so much simpler and easier…I feel like they were just made for the comfort of men and it’s just another way to put the burden of safe sex on women

More options for safe sex is never a bad thing. Use what you’re most comfortable with.

I don’t think there’s a burden on women I think women allow men not to do their part which manufactures the “burden”

i mean some women don’t care about having the burden of birth control. i’ve never used them but i think it’s pretty cool you can put it in before sex so the moment isn’t disrupted. female condoms prevent pregnancy & stds they shouldn’t be talked down on. they aren’t even that popular to begin with

you mean men will coerce women into letting them not do their part? Just saying ‘allow’ feels wrong. Sure they ‘allow’ it but only after being coerced or after feeling threatened etc. Of course there are cases where it’s consensual but those are much more rare than not. But if you mean that men are the ones creating a burden on women for safe sex then I agree and that is the burden I was referring to.

mmm no I meant allow. having sex with men that don’t have doctors, don’t get regular checkups, don’t have any conversations about pregnancy prevention until something hits the fan is allowing the “burden.” that’s not coercion.

okay I’m gonna be honest I’m a lesbian and everything I know about sex with men is from hearing from other women. But based on what you just said, I’m still hearing that men are the main problem because I’m pretty sure literally all those factors apply to a majority of men. It shouldn’t be women’s responsibility to get men to be responsible.

If I want to have sex, it’s just as much—if not more—of a priority for me to want to have safe sex (everyone gets stds, but at the end of the day, I’m the one with the ability to get pregnant). If it’s someone you’re having sex with over and over again, why trade off who buys the condoms, especially if you both want sex?

despite my post I do agree with you lol I would never want female condoms to not be an option, I just find their existence ridiculous. Like, I think about how they came to be invented and I can’t help thinking it was entirely pushed by men who don’t want to wear condoms. But now that they exist they may as well stay, like you said more options is never a bad thing.

what exactly does stooping to their level mean in this context?

whatever follows having sex with someone who has shown no concern for your well being and safety. I wouldn’t know what that looks like because I hold men to a standard 😂
