Comment on Is it normal I feel embarrassed about being female sometimes because of feminine smells I don't want to be associated with?

  From the accounts I’ve read and heard, the smell was so strong that people could notice it even after a girl or woman simply bent over or shifted her weight in her seat, small movements like that were enough for it to be detected from across the room.

    I mean I’m sure it can happen but that seems far from normal. You would need a perfect storm of warm humid air, forced air circulation, severe hygiene issues compounding on infection and PH problems.

    I’m old and have never experienced a lady smelling “fishy”. Don’t worry about this. There’s definitely better things to worry about.

    Why do you care so much what other people say? Have you ever noticed this smell yourself?

    It sounds like you're giving too much credence to what mysogynists and incels say on the internet.

    This joke is from the song “Colt 45” by afroman, a hilarious and probably sexist classic party rap. It is funny because it is highly exaggerated. If it were grue it wouldn’t be a joke.

    As Afroman says, “I got a gang of this shit”.

    I highly recommend listening to the whole tune, and singing along with your friends.

    🎵🎶Colt 45, and two zig zags, baby that’s all we need,
    We can go to the park, after dark, smoke that tumbleweed,
    As the marijuana burns, we can take our turns, singing them dirty rap songs,
    Stop, and hit the bong like Cheech & Chong, it will take you from here to Hong Kong,
    So roll, roll, roll my joint, pick out the seeds and steems,
    I’m gettin high as hell, rollin through Palm Dale, skatin’ on Dayton rims.
    So roll, roll, the ’83, Caddilac Coupe DeVille,
    If my tapes and my CDs just don’t sell, I guess my caddy will. 🎶🎵

  You would know if you smelt it. I think its something medical. In my entire life ive only known one girl who smelled like it and it was fucking horrible. She was always clean too so its not like she was just dirty.

  Maybe theres an incredibly mild smell that only some people can pick up on due to a weird gene or something, but I’m pretty sure the problem is exaggerated for the memes.
