didn’t we all grow up needing to be secretive? is it because of the adage of how ‘everyone thinks women are hot’ so like even straight women would get turned on more by their own moaning?

like as a guy i don’t even…have the impulse to involve my voice in it at all

    … which makes no difference either way because science can be done without including any person of any particular gender.

      Science generally has a way to test a hypothesis. Like a lot of things that start with “humans do x because when we were cavemen…”, this has no way to test it.

      Gender does give some unique insights to things though. When only one sex are the only ones looking at something, particularly something that has an effect in a psychology or physiology based thing it’s way easier to overlook a detail of something that they have never experienced. When science was the domain of almost exclusively men there were a lot of easily provable false things in regards to women and archeological finds that were just taken as gospel because nobody thought to prioritize or consider different perspectives. When you study a sex like they are an animal with no internal perspective, unique cultural expectations or values you make a lot of mistakes.

      Like they never bothered mapping the internal structure of the clit until 1998. The internal structure is actually a lot bigger than you’d think.
