If you say things like “ah well you know how females are” or “oh females always do this” I want you to know that I have judged you and found you lacking

Did you know that bisexual flowers are perfect? Botanists do.
My latest pin celebrates the fact that 90% of flowering plants have individual flowers with both male and female parts. Botanists call these 'bisexual' or 'perfect' flowers. Please share!
