I Want To Punch A Wall After Seeing These Men Who Don’t Understand How Women’s Bodies Work
From infuriating online posts to outdated social beliefs, there is a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to women's health. Unfortunately, these images are proof that our sexual education curriculum needs a massive overhaul.
So, men, sit back, relax, and pay attention to this crash course in sex education and basic women's anatomy. Now please be quiet—women are talking.
Her "Go To Work" Butt
In today's segment of "Damned If You Do, And Damned If You Don't: Women's Edition," an angry man who's throwing a tantrum over a female police officer who's flaunting her sexuality by wearing—gasp—a pair of pants!
What do you want this police officer to do instead, wear a paper bag? Here's a tip, he should put himself in the paper bag instead and then throw himself in the trash because that's where his sexist opinions belong.
The Importance Of Sex Education
Fun fact and contrary to some outdated beliefs, a woman's period isn't like our need to pee where we can just hold it or suck it back in like we're a PMSing vacuum cleaner. It's nicknamed "Aunt Flow" for a reason.
Aside from having a very stupid name, Tease Benton is in fact himself also very stupid.
The Myth Of Menstrual Pain
Hey women, breaking news—apparently "menstrual pain" is all in our heads because some random guy on the internet said it was!
Seriously though, getting kicked in the family jewels is nothing; once you deal with the pain of your uterus tearing itself apart once every month for 30 years of your life, then come talk to me.
The Elusive Female Orgasm
The only thing more elusive than Bigfoot or the evidence of aliens is apparently the female orgasm, especially if you're this guy.
And the reason this guy is pissed is probably that he's never actually given women an orgasm before. My evidence? He says that if a woman can't orgasm it's because her "hole" is broken. Prosecution rests.
My Fire Hose Vagina
Did you know that in addition to a woman's vagina being a dark and mysterious void that once entered a person cannot escape from, they're also akin to fire hoses? Because after reading this Reddit post from a man/landlord who's very educated on women's anatomy, I sure didn't!
"It's a vagina, not a paint gun," one user commented.
Unrealistic Proportions
Once again, here is another unrealistic bodily expectation for women. In a photo posted to social media, this woman shares that a friend of her says his "ideal girl" would be 6'4" and only weigh 80-90 pounds. Um, what?
This guy doesn't want to date a woman, he wants to date Slenderman.
Oh No, She Ate The Baby
In this Facebook post, a woman recounts an experience she had where a man attempted to mansplain how a hysterectomy works.
He told her a woman's "reproductive parts" consist only of a vagina and stomach and those are the organs that "carry the baby." Men, here's a piece of advice: If you ever feel the urge to mansplain how the female body works to a woman, avoid being slapped in the face by keeping your mouth shut.
An Out-Of-This-World Burn
Not only do some men love to mansplain how our bodies work, but they also love to tell us how our bodies should look so they're visually pleasing to men too.
Unfortunately for this guy (not actually though, he deserved it), a historian and astronomer were paying attention and gave him a very public and out-of-this-world roasting.
Please Go See A Doctor
Originally posted to a nature subreddit, one user shared this photo of a honeycomb with the caption, "This is what bees made one week after a beekeeper forgot to put a frame in the box." Beautiful, right?
Now take a look at the first comment underneath the photo. Ladies, if your uterus looks anything remotely like this honeycomb, go see your doctor.
Say It Louder For Those In The Back
I'm going to say this once and only once, so pay attention: A woman's virginity does not determine her worth as a human being. (Notice how the sanctity of a man's virginity isn't a thing?)
So if you're the kind of guy who judges a woman by how many men she's slept with and thinks if she's no longer a virgin she's no longer "pure," please take your archaic beliefs back to the Stone Age where you belong.
Pap Smears
Here, we see a poor damn fool who genuinely believes that women enjoy going to the gynecologist every three years for one very specific reason.
Because when I go in for a pap smear, I think to myself, "Boy, I can't wait for this gynecological procedure to please me in ways my boyfriend can't!"
Goddammit, Kyle
Don't you just hate when a guy who's probably never made a woman orgasm proceeds to tell women how the female orgasm actually works, even going as far as to doubt that it even exists? Because I know I sure do.
Kyle: "I will study the issue further." Narrator: "He did not."
Go Back To Health Class
It's a frightening experience when a girl gets her period for the first time and doesn't understand what's happening, and the only thing that makes it worse is idiots like this spreading misinformation.
In addition to 12 being the average age when girls first get their periods, the vagina is in fact a muscle that can expand and contract—so the notion that a woman is "loose" if she's intimate with too many men is also utter crap.
A Lack Of "Boob Bones"
Do you know how I said that the vagina is a muscle? Well, here's another fun fact: Contrary to what this very confused Skyrim player believes, "boob bones" are not actually a thing (and thank god for that because that would be terrifying). Breasts are simply made of fat.
I literally cannot believe people need to be told this.
IUD...DUI? Same Thing
A common form of birth control is an IUD, also known as an intrauterine device, which is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. Pretty straightforward, right?
Unless you're this guy, who thinks an IUD and a DUI are the exact same thing. What are you? That's right, an idiot sandwich.
Birth Control Is Health Care
This might surprise you, but birth control isn't just for preventing pregnancies. In addition to that, birth control is also used by women to regulate periods, manage endometriosis, ease menstrual cramps, and reduce acne.
All in all, it's pretty great and helps improve the quality of life for countless women. Because guess what? If your Viagra prescription is health care, then so is our prescription for birth control.
"Is She Okay?"
The internet is filled with Photoshop fails, and often, they come from women's magazines, advertisements, or even—unbeknownst to them—posted to social media by women themselves. This advertisement is yet another unrealistic portrayal of a woman's body.
To answer this Redditor's question, no, the woman in this advertisement definitely does not look okay and she's gonna need a chiropractor.
A Ticking Clock
Oh darn, I turn 28 years old next month, so I better tell my boyfriend that his dreams of fatherhood are nearly over because I have a hostile and aging uterus!
Seriously though, our uteruses are not ticking time bombs about to detonate the moment we turn a certain age. Presumably, that 28-year-old wants to marry the 28-year-old woman, not for her ability to procreate, but because he loves her? You know, something this guy isn't familiar with.
Don't Hate The Player, Hate The Game
This poor fellow genuinely believed that his girlfriend's need for chocolate every month while on her period was a medical necessity, and to be honest, we can't say it's not. But seriously though, guys, give us chocolate when we're on our periods—you'll live longer.
We women everywhere salute this woman who played the game and won.
Be Like This Man
If you're a woman, the previous photos have probably been utterly rage-inducing. So, men, if you're looking for a way to improve, please educate yourselves on women's health or just talk to a woman and get her perspective on things. Or, you can always try this option.
"So my employer (only men in the leading positions) decided to put one of these baskets on every toilet filled with free menstrual protections."
