I'm on-board with everything else, but is not farting all the time just basic manners?

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's a balance. I have known plenty of women who felt it was not permissible to fart around people/in public ever. One would not even fart around her husband of 10+ years. Another would only fart when they were at home, in the bathroom. Another felt it was inappropriate to ever fart, even when she was pooping (as a result of this, she once was so constipated that she had to go to the hospital).

Whilst these are particularly extreme examples, they're just instances of a general trend where women farting is stigmatised more than men farting. I interpret the image in the OP to be resisting that excessive pressure and unrealistic standard rather than advocating for disregarding basic courtesy and farting with impunity

I know older gen X women, like my mom, who are like this
