Forget navel gazing...get out that mirror!
Warning: Links contain lots of talk about girlie bits and not in the happyfun way..

So over on stupid_free, a post is made mocking a post in vaginapagina discussing using hydrogen peroxide to cleanse themselves. wieimmer starts off the fun with this:

Oh, gosh. I'm a girl and I totally cringed at that. Seriously, can there be a TMI note? As much as I appreciate vag-cleaning tips, I'd appreciate a bit of a warning before I click on that. D:

People basically tell wieimmer to grow up, and how could she consider the links TMI when it says right in the post what it's about. Things still aren't horribly wanky until this exchange takes place:

bluemamie: If you were my daughter I'd send you to the bathroom with a hand mirror and some Planned Parenthood tracts. Stat.
:)

dindin: Because no one's ever complete without having examined their vagina with a hand mirror.

chrushdmb: actually, every women should examine themselves with a hand mirror.

dindin: Um, no. Every "women" doesn't need to, really. Frankly I have better things to do with my time and I'm well acquainted with my own anatomy.

crushdmb: Yes, yes you should. I've had doctors actually suggest it. And how long would it take? Five minutes? Tops? And what is more important than your health?

dindin: Hey, you want to sit around with a hand mirror, and your own crotch be my guest. I'll take care of my own health, thanks.

And it just goes downhill from there.

I have endometriosis. Any hesitation I may have had in either seeing a gyno, having my vagina inspected by either me or a gynaecologist or talking about said vagina to other people has been blitzed long ago. It has its own display in a museum and is stuffed. Its plaque reads: "Nacey's Uptightness About Her Pink Bits".

Hanging with other women with endo is usually a ton of fun. The TMI discussions come out and watch the people not used to it freak out! Bwhaahahha.

Anyway, point being - these women are fucking amateurs.

	's truth. Hey, you wanna form a roving gang of endo sufferers and beat up on women who gripe about their "horrid" cramps which can only be soothed by a nice cup of tea? And after that we can pass the Darvocet and Lortab around! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Man, I am so fucking there. I bags beating the shit out of the twits that go, "Periods aren't that bad! Some women make a fuss out of nothing!" And me? I want the codeine! (Reply to this)(Parent)

Suddenly contracting a case of ovarian torsion when you're on a second date with someone and getting rushed to the hospital for an emergency salpingo-oophorectomy on one side and then waking up to find your parents and the guy you went on the date with in the room and having the doctor come in and start showing everyone color Polaroids of your ovaries and uterus can also kill any squeamishness.

...At least it did for me.

	Well, how was the third date? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Hee!

In all seriousness -- the guy and I were involved for about a year and a half after that, and he is still one of my absolute best friends -- we've become each other's default wedding dates, he's the first guy I call when someone else breaks up with me; it's kind of like we're Will and Grace now, except he's straight.

As for immediately following that date - well, he insisted that I stay with him for a week after I was released from the hospital, because I lived in a 4th floor walkup and had a loft bed, but he had an elevator building and it would be easier for me to get around -- plus he wanted to look after me. (There's a reason I've stayed friends after the breakup; this guy is a complete angel.) So it's a little fuzzy whether there actually was a formal "third date" or we just catapulted straight into "fuck it, you've changed my bedpan, let's just stop being coy and admit we're a couple already."

I did too. :-) But what also completely won me over was that he also punctured the warm fuzzies with a gleefully sick sense of humor; he told me later after that moment in the room with the doctor (and yes, he seriously DID whip out the Polaroids and show us) that he had been tempted to ask for copies so he could put them in a pretty frame on his desk at his office, just so he could ask people, "hey, wanna see a picture of my girlfriend?"
