Hey, 32F here! I do think women are overlooked in this sub, I've even noticed that when someone makes a post that includes no mention of their gender the commenters often assume that OP is male. Sure, stuttering is more common in men, but the assumption annoys me. Stuttering never really affected me when I was dating, tbh. None of my partners were ever shitty about it, or if they were I put them in their place. The worst I encountered was that whole infantilizing "I think it's cute" nonsense, which I was sure to shut down immediately. By the time I was dating as an adult, I suppose had enough confidence and charm despite stuttering that stuttering itself never really seemed to put people off. When I met my husband (together since 2016, married since 2021) his response to it was refreshingly honest, he said it was a bit distracting at first but that he knew he would get used to it and learn how to communicate with me. Anyway... If you ever want to talk one-on-one about women's experiences with stuttering, my DMs are open. :)
