Search Results: male body parts

Before someone mentions sperm, yes, men provide sperm, but the counterpart is that women provide the egg - without which there would be no place for the sperm to go and it'd waste away.

Then it's the womans body that takes it from there; this has no male counterpart.

Men contribute 50/50 to the formation of a *zygote*, but it is the womans body which transforms the zygote into an embryo, then a fetus, and then a baby - a living breathing sentient human being.
A zygote can barely be considered "life" in the same way a late term fetus or newborn baby can be considered "life", and it is the female body that produces the nutrients that form the flesh, blood, bones, brains, organs, and body parts by which a practically lifeless zygote is transformed into a living sentient human being.

Sure, through the act of fertilization the man contributes to a zygote, but it's through the female body that the zygote is given sentience and a body.

Yes... sperm is still necessary and without it, there would be no person.
But in order for you to invent something, it is absolutely a requirement that a mother had to give birth to you. Should your mother get equal credit for inventions you make, simply because without her, those inventions wouldn't exist?

Overall, saying that men equally create life is like saying that if a man and woman work on blueprints together, and the man builds the entire house, that the man and woman should get equal credit for their work.

I just feel like saying men and women equally create life is a complete lack of recognition for all that women go through

& before someone says it's not a conscious process... in many ways It is. Women have to adjust their diets so that good nutrients are being provided for the development of fetus, for example

Here, my story:

Age 5-6 :
I always wished that I was born a boy, because I wanted to marry a girl and not a boy. Later on I embraced being a female, because it also had its advantages.

Age 8-9:
I had a huge crush on a girl. Even though I didn't refer to it as a "crush" (because I was told that this was something you have on a boy and not a girl), I described it as one. I also had "boyfriends", but the feeling towards them was way different.

Age 10:
I dreamed all day long about girls. That was when I started to get sexual feelings about them. I knew that I felt like the boys in my class, but I didn't tell anyone. My male classmates talked about boobs the whole day long, my female friends called those body parts "gross". And of course, I didn't want to make me unpopular.

Age 11-12:
I noticed that I hated the sexual attention of boys. I started wearing huge sweaters to cover my curves, so that they saw me as a friend, just like I wanted them to. That was also the time, where everybody was in love with a certain, male celebrity. I was the only girl that couldn't figure out what was so "attractive" about him. I hang a poster on the wall of my bedroom and twice a day I sat in front of it and told myself "I find you attractive! You are hot" and I tried to find beautiful things on him and tried to focus on it.

Age almost 14:
My best friend asked me if I was a lesbian, because I was not interested in guys at all. Of course I said no, because I never thought of me as a lesbian. I knew that I was attracted to girls and I knew that I had no attraction toward guys, but I didn't like the term "lesbian" because I knew that lesbians were not the majority and that would prevent me from "fitting in" which was my most important goal at that time.

Age 15: I had a boyfriend. I never had feelings for him, I tried to force myself to like him, it never worked. The only thing w
