The Internet is often regarded as the new information superhighway. But sometimes, it is more about baseless misinformation and memes. Although millions of terabytes of human knowledge are readily available on the internet, some people, specifically men, are still confused about the most basic things.
It all started when user @wahweepop posted a 76-character description of her date on Twitter. By this tweet, it’s safe to conclude that her date didn’t go well. The fact that ‘not every person can know everything’ is true indeed. However, every adult human, male or female, probably should’ve learned that periods normally last for two to seven days. If it lasts more than that, you should seriously consider seeing a doctor.

Just went on a date with a guy that thought periods lasted a month.
He’s 28.

The said tweet, however, made lots of other women share their own stories of times that men taught them about their own anatomy. One thing is clear from all the ridiculous stories. Dear men, you really need to learn some biology.

doesn’t suprise me, a PE teacher at my school was around 40 & thought they only lasted a day? makes me think why do we seperate (biological) girls & boys for sex ed, when it would make much more sense for both sexes to know about each other’s bodies as well as their own?

I once heard a boy say that women still had periods when they were pregnant, and that women could only get their periods at the very beginning or end of the month, never in the middle.

I found out about halfway through a two and half year relationship that my boyfriend thought that I couldn’t pee when I had a tampon in because “doesn’t it all come out the same hole?” He was 21/22 at the time.

I knew someone once who thought a pregnant woman could get pregnant whilst pregnant so essentially she could be carrying several children in different states of development. He is married now with children, I wonder if he realises his error?

My ex husband thought that menopause meant your uterus fell out! He’s 50. https://t.co/V0Vjx5vIyQ

Much to our surprise, periods aren’t the only thing that seems to confuse men. In fact, they lack a proper understanding of the pubic area in general. Also, it’s not only the female-specific physiology that’s so much of a mystery to men. Some dudes don’t even know about their own anatomy.

My ex-husband honestly believed that women had fewer ribs than men until he was in his early twenties.

I once had to inform a mid-20s cisman that he was circumcised. He thought he hadn’t been.

I hate to add insult to injury here, but this man even had a bachelor in biology (state college, fully educated in Wisconsin). He also referenced breasts once as “marmallary glands” in a winning moment.

Unfortunately, even in this so-called ‘modern’ age, female bodies are something of an enigma. This can have so many potentially dangerous health ramifications. Because of this, we naturally hope that at least doctors have proper knowledge about female physiology. But according to this SubReddit named r/badwomensanatomy, even medical professionals might sometimes be clueless about how half of the world’s population lives.
