I don't know if it is like that everywhere, but some people I know (and some stuff I encountered on social media etc) seem to really believe that a fishy smell is the default for a woman. Why? Where does this notion even come from? I mean, fishy almost certainly means there's some sort of imbalance/infection going on...

For example yesterday me and some people talked about someone we know who got food poisoning (seafood gone bad) and at some point it went something like this:

A: well I guess if anything you wanna eat starts to smell very fishy it's probably bad.

B: Except for pussy ;)

Everyone else: either agrees or says nothing like that's a completely normal thing

Like wth. Could this please just stop? Am I the only one that encountered peolple like that or has anyone else here noticed this?

Edit: I really wanted to say something but I felt too awkward considering I was the only female there and didn't even know a few of the guys well
