If you know any developing bodies with female sex organs — and if you call them that — Proctor and Gamble has a guide that will make the perfect gift.
As noted by the Daily Mail, P&G brand Always has produced “puberty kits” containing pads and panty liners for school children. Also included: a 22-page manual for young humans soon to be excreting crimson from their front holes.
The “Puberty and Confidence Guide for Everyone” — which clearly isn’t for everyone — features a section on menstruation. Here’s P&G’s attempt at conversationally connecting with chicks who’ll soon release eggs:
Every month, bodies with female sex organs prepare for pregnancy.
Presumably, those “bodies” will grow up to just be bigger bodies.
As for the handbook’s phrasing, there’s a musicality to it; but one teacher who received the kits isn’t singing its praises. She made such clear to the Mail:
“I think girls will struggle to understand how this relates to their own body and their own experience. ‘Bodies with female sex organs’ may not be immediately identifiable as a girl according to a child’s understanding, particularly if English isn’t their first language or a child has additional learning needs.”
The guide seems intent upon compliance with gender ideology dictates. Does it succeed? Not according to the latest in enlightened language. In December, MedicineNet.com explained, “A transgender female is someone who identifies as a female but was labeled as male at birth.” International track and field governing body World Athletics recently remarked on “male-to-female transgender athletes.” And just days ago, Fox News talked of “transgender females.” So if “bodies with female sex organs” are otherwise known as “females”…yet females may have penises…coherence hasn’t quite been bagged by the booklet.
But this is where we are — language and sexual concepts are in transition:
School District Nixes ‘Boy’ for 10-Year-Olds, Replaces It With ‘Person Who Produces Sperm’
Man Who Says Women Don’t Exist Wins ‘Woman of the Year’
Transgendered Contestant Becomes Iconic Game Show’s Winningest Woman
Straight White Male Republican Identifies as Lesbian of Color
New Puberty Book by the American Academy of Pediatrics Teaches Girls About Their Erections
University of California Pays for Female Students to Have Penises Made From Their Arms
University Schools Midwifery Students on the Handling of the Birthing Penis
In reaction to Always — which previously referenced “women” and “girls” but decided it won’t always — an online backlash has begun. Cultural commentator Megyn Kelly issued a missive to the company:
“Dear Always: We are not ‘bodies with females sex organs.’ We are WOMEN. GIRLS. And we are the only ones who get periods and buy products from your pathetic, dehumanizing, and apparently misogynistic brand. Got it?”
Twitchy Team’s social media account asked, “Can we stop dehumanizing biological women?”
Other tweeted responses:
- “Well, ladies! We are demoted and dehumanized again. … It seems the objective of woke gender [nonsense] is to get them young, confuse them, make them question their very existence.”
- “Weird flex to dehumanize & condescend to the people paying you.”
- “Bodies with female sex organs have a name already…(‘gender identity’ is irrelevant). You are circulating ideological pap to vulnerable girls and therefore an active player in the disinformation campaign to gaslight girls.”
- “Convert Always into NEVER.”
- “Women are sick of this dehumanizing [junk]. You folks can [go perform unprintable intimate acts on yourselves] with whatever sex organs you have.”
The political aisle’s left flank appears at war with itself. Feminists have long decried women being reduced to their body parts; yet, girls are now defined as “bodies” with pelvic particulars. In the future, will it all get sorted? Hopefully — for the sake of young bodies with parts that have periods.
