So in real life we are told that you should teach children the proper names for genitalia. Because if something sexually inappropriate were to happen they aren't considered credible if they don't say the proper names. Abuse cases have been lost because a kid said dinky instead of penis or who-ha instead of vagina.

The TV show has deviated from the book, this is a fact. In the book just being female makes you not a credible witness. What if they put a twist on it? And just like in real life they aren't considered credible because they DON'T know the proper words for genitalia. The girls aren't TAUGHT the words. But Daisy knows the proper words, that might make her credible. It would explain the weird smile on Lydia's face when she said Penis.

What are everyone's else's thoughts? What do you think makes a witness credible in Gilead's eyes?

I created some user flair. It is able to be edited to your liking! If anyone has any ideas for anything on here let me know.

Was watching the newest episode of the Testaments. And I noticed that Becka seems to be able to navigate the bus system. Made it to Agnes' house in the dark. She seems knowledgeable on geography. That seems unusual for a girl her age in Gilead.

I read a news article about the development of a gel that can be applied onto the skin of a man, which disrupts production of sperms.

Why is it not widely discussed/distributed yet? And would you trust a man in being disciplined enough to use it regularly?
