Things that DO inherently sexualize children:
* telling parents they’ll have to “beat boys off with a stick” when looking at a BABY girl
* asking children if they have a “little boyfriend” or “little girlfriend”
* putting a baby boy in a “Ladies Man” onesie

Things that do NOT inherently sexualize children:
* teaching children that adults can be romantically partnered with people of the same or different genders

Hope that helps.

Drinking an iced coffee with ADHD is a literal game of neurological roulette. Am I going to get a sudden burst of executive function and conquer my entire to-do list, or is my brain going to treat this shot of espresso like a high-dose melatonin and drop me into a deep, unprompted 3-hour afternoon nap? There is absolutely no middle ground.

This is why I try not to talk about it. If you don't have it, you don't understand it. It's a silent torture.

Forensic labs have a chemical test that tells whether blood at a crime scene came from a wound or from a period. Period blood fails it. They're two different fluids. Nearly half the proteins in menstrual blood don't exist in the blood running through your veins.

Only about a third of what gets shed during a period is actually blood. The rest is uterine tissue, mucus, and vaginal fluid. And the blood portion itself doesn't clot. The protein that normally handles clotting is missing, and the fluid carries other enzymes that break apart any clot trying to form.

Composition varies a lot between women. The total is around 36% blood on average, but a 1985 study of 28 volunteers measured individuals ranging from 1.6% to 81.7%. The rest is the shed uterine lining, mucus from the cervix, and fluid from the vaginal walls.

In 2007, researchers found stem cells in menstrual fluid. Adult stem cells, collected from the lining the uterus sheds each month. They grow faster in the lab than bone marrow stem cells, survive 68 rounds of division without developing genetic errors, and can be turned into neurons, heart cells, cartilage, bone, or pancreatic cells.

Clinical work followed. In 2020, a trial in China gave these stem cells to 26 severely ill COVID patients and used 18 others as a comparison. Mortality in the treated group was 7.69%. In the comparison group: 33.33%. A late-stage trial at Iran's Avicenna Research Institute completed a study using them to try to restore fertility in women whose ovaries were barely producing eggs. In January 2024, the FDA cleared Qvin's Q-Pad, a device that runs the standard diabetes blood-sugar test (HbA1c) on period blood instead of a needle draw. The readings line up with traditional blood tests almost identically.

Menstruation itself is rare in the animal kingdom. About 98% of mammal species don't menstruate. At all. They reabsorb the uterine lining each cycle instead of shedding it. Only primates, a few bat species, the elephant shrew, and one kind of spiny mouse actually bleed. And this trait evolved independently three separate times in different branches of the mammal family tree.

The leading theory for why: the uterus lining acts as a screening layer. Somewhere between 30 and 60% of human embryos get discarded before a pregnancy is even recognized, often because of genetic errors, and menstruation appears to be the body's way of doing that filtering.

Never ignore me. You can tell me you don't want to talk. You can tell me you need space. Whatever the case may be. Radio silence is a hard limit for me. It touches a very vulnerable place in me.

lips are one of the most sensitive parts of the body with over a million nerve endings. kissing also releases oxytocin (love) and dopamine (reward). so i believe our bodies intuitively gravitated towards kissing for pleasure and intimacy from the beginning of time

I love when my Dom fixes me. moving strands of my hair. turning my necklace the right way around. adjusting my collar. touching on the small of my back for my posture. these little touches that feel like “You’re mine and I want it like this”, that are so gentle but so commanding.

Emotionally intelligent men often see straight through your performative bullshit and still choose whatever will preserve equilibrium in the relationship. He will compel you to outgrow your habitual narrowness, and you will think your EQ is high until you encounter a man like that. Even at first glance or first meeting, you cannot discern who has high EQ, because they conceal it and reveal it incrementally over time.

Looking at how kind they are might make you feel like a bad person at times, but later you realise you are not actually a bad person, and they show you that you are simply human, then guide you toward greater kindness. High EQ men are, strangely, extremely violent when necessary as well. They have refined control over their strength and exercise it only when it is warranted. Incredibly self-aware, they become your mirror. They cannot tolerate disrespect and bullshit at all, they have extremely high principles and morals that they stick by.

He will not engage in your little tactics of destabilising the whole relationship just so you can feel something, your manipulative tendencies, your gaslighting, all of it will be laid bare because he simply will not participate in it.

Then it will be only you and yourself, sitting inside an emotional transformation while he is there, but he will not make it easier by interrupting your growth. He will also care for you, ensure there is always peace, and quietly protect you without putting anything on display. Having a man like this is a blessing, and social media will not advertise such men because these men do not parade their relationships online and are usually profoundly private.

"you handled it so well" no i didn’t i went insane, lost my spark, distanced myself from everyone and hated myself.

Date a man who is emotionally intelligent.
A man who fixes the issue instead of acting nonchalantly. A man who knows how to communicate so you're able to freely express your feelings.
A man who shows the same level of respect during disagreements. A man who holds a safe space for you

—Only female bees produce honey-male bees only mate with the queen, they don’t work, they don’t defend the hive. Their only role is to mate.
—Only female ants make up the colony-Males exist mainly to mate with queens during nuptial flight and they die shortly after. The entire colony (workers, soldiers) are female.
—Only female plants produce fruits-Male plants only produce pollen. Female plants produce the actual fruit
—Only female spiders sometimes survive after mating-Males mainly exist to find and mate with females. Sometimes they even get eaten after mating.

Every other male species are inferior but somehow human males think nature made them superior.
