These myths been around for literal millennia, even though there is no rooting whatsoever in reality. Let's take a little look at the history of misogyny and racism inherent in this belief...

we're just two variations of the same species

and even that is misleading, because there is a whole spectrum

One of our least favourite objects in our collection is a medical textbook outlining the difference between "true" and "false" virgins based on labia shape, size and colour. It was published in 2012. https://www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/muffbusters/2d-textbook

And just in case anyone needs to hear it today:
✨Something as insignificant as a penis cannot possibly change the appearance of the vulva✨

My midwife claimed that there are many women who don't know well enough how their genitals look like. 😬
So we're speaking of a group of mainly cis-women, in their 20s and 30s, who had intercourse at least once in their lifes, more or less well informed and being long enough in Germany that they have the language skills to attend a birth preperation class (so the cultural barrier can't be that high). Still can't wrap my head around this.

I think it's meant to be a magical process where it reacts to changes in partners, not to The One True Dick which arrives first.

Maybe I'm old enough to value experience now. Or I have enough confidence in myself that I don't care being compared with previous partners. That person is fucking me now, and it is a bonus if they come with enough experience to know what they do! Go get them girl!
