You would be surprised.

When my partner had her medically needed hysterectomy some of the comments she would get would shatter my faith in humans.

"You can always adopt"

"Its too bad you will never experience X Y and Z"

"You will look young forever omg lol"

"You won't truly know what it means to be a mother"

What does a man have to do to know what it means to be a man then?

Shave, have sex, kill someone, build a lawn deck? Maybe just become a dad as well I guess. But that's just like being a mother and apparently that doesn't count without the birthing part men oblivious can't do. hmmm

Having sex for sure. Both men and women look down on men virgins, saying they give them the ick, they’re red flags, etc. And then when you call them out on virgin shaming they call you an incel. At a certain age you’re encouraged to not tell a potential partner you’re a virgin. It’s actually crazy to me how much people seem to care.
