i dont get it :<
somewone pws explain the joke to me
Not sure if it was ever actually done or just urban legend but there used to be something called “the husband stitch” where an OBGYN would add another stitch while repairing an episiotomy (when a woman tears a bit giving childbirth) supposedly to make her vagina tighter. A lot of things there don’t add up, but that’s what the joke is about.
Why do people think it's an urban legend when women describe how they've been medically and sexually abused? 😐
Why is your comment so adversarial when previous commenter literally said they weren't sure?
That's not the same as dismissing women's accounts so please don't equate them
I didn't mean them specifically. I assume the reason they're not sure is because they've heard people call it a myth before, as have I. And I think it's shitty that people do that.
