Women Are Sharing The Most Ridiculous Things They’ve Heard Men Say About Their Bodies (30 Tweets)
High school biology doesn't teach guys how to understand women. But it at least gives them an idea of how their bodies work. Pass that and you won't infuriate your girlfriend by telling her to "keep it in" when she asks you to buy her some tampons. Recently, Twitter user @brownandbella asked women to share the most ridiculous things they've heard men say about "sex, reproductive health, menstruation, etc" and BOY did they deliver! As of this article, the thread already has nearly 20K upvotes and over 3.5K comments, many of which will make you wonder if men are really that stupid or are they just being dicks. Maybe the first, maybe the latter, maybe a bit of both.

Almost a quarter of men have admitted that they have "no idea" what a pelvic floor is or what it is supposed to do. About 1 in 20 believe it's just another name for your pelvis and some even think it's a dance move. A new study has confirmed that men really are clueless when it comes to their female partner's body.
RELATED:
The study, released by pelvic floor experts INNOVO, found that nearly 4 in 10 men don't feel comfortable talking to women about it, too. 4 in 10 men also admit they have no understanding about the health issues their wife or girlfriend faces and are stumped when it comes to the length of their period.

There should be mandatory sex-ed for everyone, that we wouldn't be oblivious for specifics of each gender
The same magical 4 in 10 men don't feel comfortable talking to women about intimate health issues and as a result, more than a third try to avoid all conversations with their partner about subjects such as periods, intimate screening tests, and even sex.

Damn monthly subscriptions. Never can stop them. I hear you can pause them for 9 months, but it is SO not worth it.
"Intimate health issues can be a difficult subject for many to discuss," Jane Wake, women's health and fitness expert, said. "'It may be funny to think men have no idea what a pelvic floor is or does, but it's a subject which needs to be taken seriously – especially as men also have a pelvic floor and can suffer the same problems as women."

Either he has a very small penis or thinks tampons are far bigger than they are. Either way.... wow.
Jane added that both men and women find it embarrassing to discuss their private health concerns with someone of the opposite sex, even if it is their own partner, but that being as open as possible with each other is the best way to gradually break down the taboo.

My mom was pretty good, but also preached the "no sex before marriage" due to religious views. My son will be 11 soon and we have really good, open discussions about the good, the bad and the ugly of both male and female puberty and reproductive health. Some people might think he's too young to know about STDs, intercourse, and periods, but I say he's young enough that he won't hear it from someone else first so I can teach him the facts before he hears the myths.

I was dating this guy a few years ago and he got angry one afternoon because I didn't wanna have sex because I was on my period. He thought I was lying because we had sex that morning and I didn't have my period then. I tried to explain that it doesn't start in the morning and finish in the evening. The whole argument went so far that I pulled out my tampon to prove that I wasn't lying. Gross, I know but that was the only way to make him believe me.

My mother was raised in an uber conservative Catholic home and attended Catholic school. She knew nothing, Her period scared her...he mother came and said "this happens once a month, this is what you do, the end." My brother and I were raised by this woman and when I started my cycle, I got a special dinner and celebration. And then she told my brother! GASP! But it didn't take long to understand the benefit. He was compassionate, caring, he would watch over my needs, go to the store, be extra nice that week. (He still is, his wife adores it). I was lucky enough to get a husband who had the same sort of unbringing. Whew.

I don’t get it. I was in elementary school and junior high in the ‘70s. Starting in Grade 5 we had comprehensive sex educations taught by nurses (hats of to the VON, the Victorian Order of Nurses for doing this) that covered everything from a detailed description of the plumbing, what sex involves, how babies are made, what forms of birth control there were at the time, and how to use a condom. ...///... This was in public school, as a unit in science, and it was MANDATORY. no one was excused for any reason, including religious freakery.

As a brother of 3 sisters, (a very honest group) I learned about periods when I was 10 or 11yrs old. I thank God now as an RN, that I was not sheltered from my sister's pains and bodily occurances. I am still shocked till this day of the number of men who accompany their wife's, GFs or daughter's to a gyn appointment and say the stupidist, most uneducated things. One of my "favorites" was when a husband after finding out his wife was pregnant said, "that's great honey, now you'll never have to worry about periods ever again!" The look on his face after I told him that her period would return after about 6 weeks after giving birth, was pure dumbfoundest uneducated confusion. He said, " "Why will she have them again when other women don't?" I left the room as his wife just stared at him.

I thought it was impossible for our politicians to be so clueless about rape, pregnancy, abortion...but it turns out, these guys are getting their entire sexual education from gum wrappers and their equally clueless buddies. I know it's not our responsibility to teach them what life has neglected to, but come on ladies, let's not hide this c**p. Tell you coworkers that you started your period or that you need to run to the store for some supplies or loudly says "Marge, I have an extra tampon if you need" at the lunch table.

This is not about sex ed. This is the basic functions of human biology from birth through puberty to death. It's essential. And separating boys from girls in the classes just reinforces the stigma that all these topics are somehow not appropriate for everyone. We all need to understand how our bodies work, male and female.

Downside to using the internet as the only resource means that people might use porn to learn from. It happens and it's not a good idea. I don't know the answer for conservative countries but schools everywhere else need to step up. Parents should be the place children learn from but they aren't always going to be reliable - particularly if they are just passing on incorrect information they were given by their parents or leave it too late. Schools need to teach sex-education so that there is no way parents can get away with misinformation, by mistake or deliberately. Most parents are good but there are enough that fail abysmally.

I had zero sex ed and had to figure it out all by myself. The same won't be said for any of my children. One month I was on my period and in quite a bit of pain and my 10 year old son asked if I was alright. I explained to him what a period was and what the symptoms were. What he said, "poor women, you shouldn't have to go through that much pain!" He didn't say "ew gross" like even a lot of men say.

But to keep convincing the actual subjects about the truth of their own bodies, that's an absurd above absurdities. Just admit you didn't know it and and say "oh, is it? Now I know". And you'll make a better impression as a man, trust me. A logical one.

All this make me believe that our sex and body function education in Sweden is rather good. No chance what so ever that you make it thru school wothout knowing how menstruation works. You have to be dead to miss this elementary thing. Also, its quite unusual that Swedish guys shy away from buying tampoons etc for their ladies, when they are at the grocery store. At least that stands for guys born after 1970. Older generations can fluster a lot if it comes up.

I am very sorry to start this topic but this is one of the bad things about USA. You stigmatise normal things. In most other countries its normal to talk about such things. We have sex ed for boys and girls together. EVERYONE learns how to use a tampon and a condom and everyone learns about menstruation cycles and how babys are made and how they grow in a womans womb. Also we can talk about it normally. We buy tampons in normal stores without getting embarrast. My husband buys them for me frequently.

While I was in college, I volunteered with a small group of middle school girls to discuss issues involving sex and reproductive health. I heard MANY horrifyingly wrong beliefs but this was by far the worst- One girl honestly believed that douching with Mountain Dew after sex was a valid form of contraception! Fortunately I was able to disprove this appalling belief for her, but it still shakes me to my core when I think of the lack of education about sexual health among men and women alike.

I have heard plenty from females too over the years. Once I knew a couple, Grandparents by the time I met them, and I was told the story of how much trouble they had getting pregnant after they were married (in the 50's). They finally saw a doctor. Turned out they were not officially "consummating" when they tried. They had no clue of the logistical placement of parts to attempt pregnancy.

What happened to parenting? People are afraid to talk to their kids about rough subjects. They're afraid to tell their kids 'no' or discipline them in order to teach them ethics and boundaries. They're afraid to hurt their kids feelings and want to be their child's best friend. Here's the kicker...that may have been ok back 30-40 years ago..but you can't avoid being a parent to your kids these days. Because if you don't address certain topics with your kids, they will use the internet to find out on their own...and that's not a safe place for them to learn something as important as sex and life in general. It's better for parents to be that source of information and, if they are unsure about something, to seek out certified educators on the subject. Don't leave your kids to discover this stuff on their own. You might not like what they learn.

In Bulgaria we study biology which explains all basic organisms, animals, plants, bacterias etc. As part of it, through the 5-6 years its included with the other basic subjects, we have full course on human anatomy, which lasts a whole year and covers everything including what is the purpose of the clitoris and how to find it. I think it's really scary a doctor doesn't know basic anatomy, bc in the university it is a basic must-know extremely detailed and tons of other sciences needed for medical education. It is a BASIC MUST KNOW, if you don't know that how on earth you can treat people as a medical specialist, you can kill someone ffs.

When I hit puberty around 11-12 my mom gave me a book "Dr talks to 12 year olds about puberty" I don't remember the section on periods, just the outer changes to boys and girls bodies. I went to high school between 83-87, we had health classes and sex ed. I don't remember an material covering menstruation, in fact I do remember the girls having a class without the boys and nobody would tell us what it is about. I learned about it and the struggles women have during and before their periods from secretly reading my moms women's magazines. I remember being about 13-14 and not knowing the difference between a pad and a tampon. I was 15 before my dad gave me the sex talk and it was all about not getting a girl pregnant, but not much else.

Gotta say that as a 18 year old Czech women the school gave me and most of my male and female classmates what we needed so we won't ever asked each other such a stupid questions. Since being 11 years old we got at one point one day boys and girls seperated classes where an expert on pubescence told us everything we needed about our body change and menses + we got free pads. Me and my mom talk daily about everything our body, pregnancy + she tells me about men problems too, because it's important. And even now at high school going through a human anatomy and the reprodactive system. Also a lot of times the girls talk freely at school about this stuff and even the guys know, because there was one time when the biology teacher asked what ovulation is, and he correctly answered. There still some jerks, who knows only one thing, but I still feel enough educated and I'm glad for it.

Okay, I stopped reading about halfway through because this is not a problem of "idiot men". This is a problem of education. There were a lot of things I didn't know about men before I married one (and had gotten some very false information from an ex-boyfriend that I believed until the day I realized he was an emotionally abusive narcissist asshat). I think sometimes men get false information from friends and classmates/workmates who just want to yank their chains. The ones who ARE really disturbing are the Christians who emotionally beat their daughter/wife/sister/friend with the bludgeon of "Eve's sin." Yeah, that ain't the way it works anymore, dudes. Because Jesus. So if you're claiming to believe in Him, get your theology properly sorted, huh?

I was nursing my first baby soon after delivery and when the baby latched on I experienced let down in the opposite breast as well, which sprayed milk everywhere and simultaneously I had a postnatal contraction that was so painful tears leaked out of my eyes... My husband looked at me with something like horror and said, "my God, women do nothing but drip and leak out of every orifice!" At that moment it was too true.

My mom was pretty good, but also preached the "no sex before marriage" due to religious views. My son will be 11 soon and we have really good, open discussions about the good, the bad and the ugly of both male and female puberty and reproductive health. Some people might think he's too young to know about STDs, intercourse, and periods, but I say he's young enough that he won't hear it from someone else first so I can teach him the facts before he hears the myths.

I don’t get it. I was in elementary school and junior high in the ‘70s. Starting in Grade 5 we had comprehensive sex educations taught by nurses (hats of to the VON, the Victorian Order of Nurses for doing this) that covered everything from a detailed description of the plumbing, what sex involves, how babies are made, what forms of birth control there were at the time, and how to use a condom. ...///... This was in public school, as a unit in science, and it was MANDATORY. no one was excused for any reason, including religious freakery.

As a brother of 3 sisters, (a very honest group) I learned about periods when I was 10 or 11yrs old. I thank God now as an RN, that I was not sheltered from my sister's pains and bodily occurances. I am still shocked till this day of the number of men who accompany their wife's, GFs or daughter's to a gyn appointment and say the stupidist, most uneducated things. One of my "favorites" was when a husband after finding out his wife was pregnant said, "that's great honey, now you'll never have to worry about periods ever again!" The look on his face after I told him that her period would return after about 6 weeks after giving birth, was pure dumbfoundest uneducated confusion. He said, " "Why will she have them again when other women don't?" I left the room as his wife just stared at him.

Downside to using the internet as the only resource means that people might use porn to learn from. It happens and it's not a good idea. I don't know the answer for conservative countries but schools everywhere else need to step up. Parents should be the place children learn from but they aren't always going to be reliable - particularly if they are just passing on incorrect information they were given by their parents or leave it too late. Schools need to teach sex-education so that there is no way parents can get away with misinformation, by mistake or deliberately. Most parents are good but there are enough that fail abysmally.

What happened to parenting? People are afraid to talk to their kids about rough subjects. They're afraid to tell their kids 'no' or discipline them in order to teach them ethics and boundaries. They're afraid to hurt their kids feelings and want to be their child's best friend. Here's the kicker...that may have been ok back 30-40 years ago..but you can't avoid being a parent to your kids these days. Because if you don't address certain topics with your kids, they will use the internet to find out on their own...and that's not a safe place for them to learn something as important as sex and life in general. It's better for parents to be that source of information and, if they are unsure about something, to seek out certified educators on the subject. Don't leave your kids to discover this stuff on their own. You might not like what they learn.

When I hit puberty around 11-12 my mom gave me a book "Dr talks to 12 year olds about puberty" I don't remember the section on periods, just the outer changes to boys and girls bodies. I went to high school between 83-87, we had health classes and sex ed. I don't remember an material covering menstruation, in fact I do remember the girls having a class without the boys and nobody would tell us what it is about. I learned about it and the struggles women have during and before their periods from secretly reading my moms women's magazines. I remember being about 13-14 and not knowing the difference between a pad and a tampon. I was 15 before my dad gave me the sex talk and it was all about not getting a girl pregnant, but not much else.

Since being 11 years old we got at one point one day boys and girls seperated classes where an expert on pubescence told us everything we needed about our body change and menses + we got free pads. Me and my mom talk daily about everything our body, pregnancy + she tells me about men problems too, because it's important. And even now at high school going through a human anatomy and the reprodactive system. Also a lot of times the girls talk freely at school about this stuff and even the guys know, because there was one time when the biology teacher asked what ovulation is, and he correctly answered.
