Irritated by gender inequalities

One example of progress is the whole November drive to spotlight men s sexual health and grow mustaches to raise people s awareness of male sexual organ diseases like testicular and prostate cancers.

I overheard some young women talking about how many of the men on their university campuses do grow mustaches and attend seminars on male sexual health in November. They said it was a big deal on their campuses in November.

Maybe growing mustaches in November helped increase the popularity of full beards among younger men now. I thought a lot of that was probably having so many men leaving active duty military service after the wars and eager to be free to grow facial hair as civilians.

Whatever caused all the popularity in facial hair, it looks great on a lot of men, including many very young guys who can grow surprisingly thick beards and mustaches at young ages.

I think Begoneboy was talking about how some people like to act as if anything, especially any charity fundraising, that is done for groups thought of as being " privilaged " or as being the majority or especially for men can bring on criticisms of not being done for the most disadvantaged and usual recipients of so much charity and government funding in the US. Many groups think they should have a monopoly on all charity and government funding. They might view a large public push for funding for men s prostate cancer treatment and research as being competition for their programs and funding.

The way AIDS and HIV were treated and handled for so long is still a national shame and outrageous discrimination in how a lethal disease was marginalized politically, morally, financially, legally, and in how people reacted and treated people with AIDS and HIV in many cases.

Those are still treated differently from other viral illnesses, even today.

The same can be said about how differently people treat women s hysterectomies compared to men s castrations. Those differences are even more obvious when younger people have those surgeries and how differently people react to those surgeries in young people.

Maybe that November men s health drive is helping educate and change more people s ideas and attitudes toward castration since it is still commonly done to many older men for prostate cancer. Hopefully it will make more young men familiar and educated in castration and make it less of a humorous or unmentionable surgery for men. Most young men still either joke about or get silent in fear any time castration is discussed. Many women seem to handle castration as a humorous or unmentionable topic too. Hysterectomies don t cause the same humor and fear reactions in men or women. I m guessing that castrated men do have a more difficult time getting serious and mature feedback on their surgery and on being eunuchs, especially with younger people. Hopefully that will change.

I know,I know. Women face way more bias than I do, but the tables are turned for me at the moment and it's annoying. Another of my uncles, the last one, seems to have lost his battle with prostate cancer. His brothers and one nephew all died within a year of diagnosis. He seemed to have beaten it with brachytherapy. After several years of being clear it has very aggressively reappeared.

It would make sense to me, as I have finished fathering children to be castrated before I have that battle to fight. My job, pilot requires me to have a medical every 6 months. If I choose to be castrated, I will lose my medical and then have to apply for a variance to get it back, could take over a year and then not guaranteed that I would ever get it back. They won't even talk to me about it other than to say, if you have any surgery, or take any medication, i have to report it and stop flying immediately. If, on the other hand, I was a female with a family history of breast cancer and I wanted elective mastectomy, or a hysterectomy, it wouldn't be a problem. Still not allowed to fly until recovered from surgery, but then medical reinstated without an issue.

If I said I wanted to become a female, then there is a path to that, there are lots of MtF commercial pilots flying, but just a path to avoiding pc seems impossible. I just postponed my surgery dates. Can't take the risk of being unemployed. Lol, perhaps I will reschedule for the day after my retirement!

Rant over! Thanks for listening

I am a private pilot so my case is abit different. A private pilot can have anything missing and nobody cares. I am a NULLO and I still pass my medical.. Injection Sustanon 250 every 3weeks.

However.

What would happen if you said you wanted to change sex from M to F. They would then have to remove them, and it would still allow you to fly. The question is really.

How bad do you want to keep flying with the possibility that P.C. will crept up on you without you knowing it, and then you could still loose your license or even die..

I would say the M to F route is the safest.

Apparently this stupid pro-sex bias of the current Western world again. MtF - just fine, but Male to Eunuch - a No Go.

Hysterectomies don t cause the same humor and fear reactions in men or women.

One main reason that hysterectomies don't cause such a fuss of humor or fear is that it's not immediately obvious to the casual acquaintance even in the locker room. Castration on the other hand is VERY obvious to both males and females. While they both have a common effect of sterilization the women's procedure does not prevent partaking in mutual sexual pleasure as readily as the men's procedure. It's pretty easy for a male to have enjoyable sex with a castrated female and never notice. Not quite the case when the roles are reversed. So the social stigma continues. Until castration becomes as common as Hysterectomies they will never be seen the same even though they actually are as far as end result is concerned. Never having had the organs of a female to be removed I obviously commenting from observation rather than experience on the female side. On the male side, "been there done that" and learned a lot of life's lessons as a result. And the much happier for it.

Society needs to indeed become far less divided and more equal on all fronts. The days of old are gone, we forge a new frontier so let's all stop the infighting and begin getting along as equals one and all. Male or female or neither, black or yellow, brown or red makes no difference. We all bleed the same and breath the same air. It's time we begin acting like it instead of acting like a select group is taking the air from the rest or that their blood is not red like the rest of us.
