Same for women based on having children.
This may be a controversial take but some people suffer from overwhelming shame from not being able to have children or from having a miscarriage and are afraid to talk about it openly.
It can be traumatic and they deserve support but the whole concept is based on women's value as only for having children and they're a failure without it. We need to move past this as a society.
This is not a contest of men vs. women.
Not being able to have children ≠ not being able to get your dick wet. It's a much more personal and stems a lot from the choice of being able to have children being taken away from you.
This is a post about equating sex with self-worth and how fucked up it is for both parties.
I'm not saying its a contest! It's a shitty contest if it is. And it's not a exact mirror of course. It's just all part of the patriarchy and how it controls us.
