40 Dense Moments When Men Thought They Knew Women's Bodies Better Than Women Do But Just Ended Up Sounding Dumb
Oh, they really have no clue.
Some people really do think they know more about women’s bodies than women do, and this story is full of those moments. It starts with one woman sharing a ridiculous claim from her ex, who apparently believed every woman gets her period on the 15th of the month.
That post opened the floodgates, and women began replying with their own stories about men making wildly wrong assumptions about periods, pregnancy, and basic anatomy. Some of the comments are funny, some are frustrating, and a few are so clueless they almost feel made up.
The replies only get more absurd from there, and the whole thread is a reminder that confidence and knowledge are not the same thing.
This was the tweet that started it all.

While most of these are unarguably hilarious, this just speaks volumes about the society we are living in.
Most men aren't taught as much, and they never bother to learn more about women's bodies because it has been instilled that talking about periods and pregnancy is taboo. In reality, both men and women alike really need to be educated about these topics. It's also quite alarming that some men in the medical field seem to hold such absurd ideas about women's bodies, too!
