10 facts about women
- Women and smoking.
Typically, until recently, men were ten times more likely to smoke than women. But then marketers realized they were missing out on a huge paying segment of the population, and began developing aggressive marketing campaigns aimed at attracting women to smoke. Thus, the number of women smoking, especially in developed countries with an average standard of living, is growing rapidly.
This and other films are responsible for this. Just remember the famous shot in the film “Monica” by Monika Malena. Here she takes out a cigarette, and dozens of men’s hands reach out to her to hand her and let her light it. You understand, because I wanted to be in her place at least once? Even if you are a bearded truck driver Arkady. What? Even bearded truck drivers in Arkadyev have feelings!
Return to smoking: Women still smoke less frequently than men, but smoking makes it more difficult to quit and the desire to return to smoking. Sadly.
- The right to vote is not for everyone.
As is known, until the beginning of the 20th century, women did not have the right to vote and participate in the political life of the state. This right was first granted to them by an amendment to Article 19, signed on August 26, 1920, thanks to a positive proposal in the Addendum. However, in fact, this amendment did not give the right to vote to all women, but only to white-skinned US citizens. Black, Native American, Asian, and Hispanic women still do not have the right to vote.
It was not until 1924 that this injustice was finally corrected, at least for Latina women, but above all others were oppressed in basic civil rights — a combination of racism and discrimination based on sexuality.
It wasn”t until 1965 that President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act, eliminating all discriminatory practices that had prevented all American citizens from participating in political elections. By then, Gagarin had already been in space for two years.
- The First Lesbian in Space
Her name was Sally Reid. On June 18, 1983, she flew into space on the space shuttle Challenger (the word “Challenge”). Indeed, it”s quite possible that Sally had to hide it, as it was not yet known that she was in a relationship with a woman. Only after her death was it revealed that she had lived with a woman named Tam O”Shannes for 27 years.
By the way, another fact: Miranda from “Sex and the City” is a lesbian and has been living with a woman for many years. Another lesbian is Jodie Foster, known for her celebrated role as Clarissa Stanling in the classic thriller “The Silence of the Lambs.” Of the more modern actresses, the most well-known lesbians are Kristen Stewart, Cara Delevingne, and Ellen (Elliott after the Paul-Paige change).

We hear a lot about the philosophy and psychology of relationships, and I”m a psychotherapist and sexologist. We hear about theories that have a weak evidence base and lead to.
- No loans, ladies
Body until 1974 (was your mother born this year?). Women couldn”t get credit cards in their own names. Often, they had to visit the bank with brother, husband, or father to sign a credit card agreement for them.
This is an obvious situation (imagine how many women were attacked for having even the most basic legal and financial rights over 50 years ago!) Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a justice who did so much to protect women”s rights during those turbulent years.
Women are more likely to have access to higher education than men (57% of women had a college degree in 2018), and they make up 14. 4% of military personnel and 18% of military reserves. Women also account for 46. 8% of the global workforce, and 57% of women aged 16-18 have already begun working outside the home. At the same time, 49% of women identify themselves as the primary breadwinner in their family, so discriminatory practices “increase the man”s salary; he must provide for the family.”
- The uterus is incredibly elastic.
Well, enough about discrimination, politics and history. Womb! What could be more interesting than a uterus? Therefore, look: if the uterus does not contain a future person, then its dimensions are about 7. 5 centimeters in length and 5 centimeters in width. Very little. However, it is worth having a little person inside by the 20th week of pregnancy, by which time the uterus has expanded and reached the navel. And by the 36th week, the uterus reaches the lower edge of the mammary gland. Sounds terrible, doesn”t it?
10 facts about women you need to know
In fact, this is absolutely not true. “Virgin plebs” is actually more correctly called the crown of the vagina. This is a piece of tissue that surrounds the entrance to the vagina. The pieces can be of different shapes, and it is in this form that the first penetration is often painful (not necessarily with a penis, but also with fingers and toys). The psychological state of a woman shows how aroused she is.
However, sometimes it happens that the vaginal corona grows together and closes the entrance to the vagina. This occurs approximately once in every 2, 000 girls with a normal vaginal crown. When this happens, the vaginal corona prevents menstrual blood from leaving the vagina, and minor surgery is required to correct the problem.
- G-spot — fact or fiction?
You”ve probably heard about the G-spot — that certain areas of the vagina are very sensitive to erotic stimulation, and perhaps orgasms from there are more sensitive and intense than with clitoral stimulation. Indeed, 43% of women said that they had never experienced pleasant sensations from stimulation of this area.
So it”s really unknown. Either it exists and really gives pleasure, this fiction, or it exists, but does not give erotic pleasure.
- Menstrual hygiene products
Now it’s hard to imagine that there were no pads, tampons or menstrual cups. In fact, this is not the earliest invention. This is what was used in ancient times. Papyrus (Ancient Egypt), paper (Ancient Japan), cotton wool (Ancient Greece), cotton softened by absorption and bandages of the 19th-20th centuries of English and French cellulose.
- Disney and menstruation
Believe it or not, in 1946, Walt Disney produced an educational cartoon about menstruation to be shown in schools. The cartoon was sponsored by the company later known as “Cake” (yes, they are very old). It was the first cartoon to use the word “vagina” in a shot.
Who would have thought that a cartoon like this would rule out the “just for me” Walt of the early 20th century?
