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.

Dumbest-Thing-Man-Said-To-Women-Reproductive-Health-Menstruation

Sabrina45X Report

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.

    "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.

    I endured sex until it became quite painful. and spotting began. Finally the pain and bleeding didn't stop as before and I miscarried at five months...... Needless to say, next time I got pregnant, sex stopped, period, at first sign of pain and spotting. He wasn't happy but I gave birth to a healthy baby girl six months later !

    Like the episode of Growing Up Chrisley when the father told his son (a young father himself) that it was time to take a p**s test to make sure he was clean from drugs. He insisted on following his son into the bathroom to make sure he wasn't trying to cheat the test. Then you hear over the microphone the Dad saying "How did you ever get a girl pregnant with a tiny little thing like that?"

    When I was about 14, over 20 years ago, I was reading the problem page in a teen magazine. A girl had written a letter, in a total panic, because her periods weren't blue. She thought she had some terrible disease.
