@BBCNews So we know exactly who is accessing it, but have done nothing to stop them? 70. Million.

This is what happens you purposely misconstrue what people are saying. They are saying the NORM should be gentle, fully informed, full consent. In most cases, it’s not. It’s not that they’re refusing to advocate for themselves. These BASIC ideas should be the standard of care
Tetralogy of Fallout: New Vegas@_parasocial

the pap smear discourse has gotten to the point where i’ve seen multiple people say “women shouldn’t have to advocate for themselves in medical situations” which is so revealing of a child mind view of the world. pack it up, we’re done. stop arguing with children.

If we are forced into a general election right now, you can bet everything you own that reform will be voted in. And this shitty country will literally go down the drain.

@PolitlcsUK Sat in front of stolen gold, looking like a ridiculous pompous tosspot, demanding we all sacrifice our personal data for … what, exactly?

Some man put sex on the bottom of a triangle to suggest we need it for our species survival, and the rest of the world decided that meant sex was an inherent need that we’d die without, and a god given right to them.

Natalist fearmongering will never move me. If young people are having less sex I think the appropriate response to that is acceptance rather than endlessly pathologizing them and bullying them into having sex for the sake of upholding tradition. Sex is not a human need.

The pap smear discourse has been bordering on and now has fully moved into the sexual harassment, victim blaming and slut shaming territory and all I have to say is this (discourse that's shaming people's fear) is not effective cancer awareness 🤷‍♀️

Isolating when you have been in contact with a virus that has 40% mortality rate should not be a suggestion, it should be LAW. These people will directly be at fault for the deaths of others if they do not adhere. They should then also be held accountable for those deaths.

We’ve gone from “the IUD is more painful than a smear” (yes, AND you had other options), to “if you have sex, you should be able to tolerate a smear”. I fear millennial women have utterly lost it. We have become our parents. Lovely.

Now people are trying to compare IUDs and the coil to Pap smears. No one is forcing you to have a coil or IUD. There are dozens of other PAINLESS options for you. There are minimal options for smears.

This is fucking brain dead. Sex and a medical procedure are not remotely the same experience neurologically or psychologically.

How about, if you care about HPV and cervical cancer, HELP them? Share resources? Advocate for better tools within gynaecology (given that self sampling is becoming more common). ANYTHING. But you choose to “let them die”. Says everything about you.

If you actually, truly think people deserve to just die because of their anxieties, fears and trauma, you need to take a good look in the mirror and figure out what it is you truly stand for. This is a disgusting and deeply ignorant way to think.

@romitriverse As a millennial, I’m in solidarity with you. My generation were bullied the same and I’d hoped we’d turn out better and choose to be different. Looks like we didn’t. I’m sorry for that.

@missmkirk In the context of how the conversation has gone on Twitter the last two days, everybody is screaming over each other. We could probably frame everything a little better and with more compassion. Me included!
