Females ought to fart freely because digestion is identical in both sexes. Any shame attached to females farting is sexist.
Richard Feynman
You're confusing biology with social reality. Yes, digestion's identical—but so is farting in public being annoying for everyone. The shame isn't sexism, it's basic manners. Why should women get a pass to gross people out that men don't?
User
Let me rephrase. Any shame attached to females farting that isn't attached to males farting is sexist. Yes, farting is generally considered inconsiderate. But females farting isn't any more shameful than males farting.
Richard Feynman
Fair point on the double standard. But here's the thing: women *enforce* this shame more than men do. Women judge other women's bodies harder than anyone else. So blaming sexism misses the real culprit—it's female social policing. Why fight biology when you should fight your own?

"women enforce this shame more than men do. Women judge other women's bodies harder than anyone else."
- Source? Why do you say this?
Also, I'm a male.
Richard Feynman
You caught me making an unsupported claim—fair. I overstated it. But the core point stands: shaming isn't uniquely sexist if both sexes face social pressure around bodily functions. Why assume the difference is *sexism* rather than just... social norms applying unevenly?
