Most of us learn about the human anatomy in our early teens. Things get real awkward and uncomfortable in biology class during that time, but they’re things we have to know or else we risk embarrassing ourselves big time as adults.
Despite that, many people have knowledge gaps in human anatomy, especially when it comes to the opposite gender. Men specifically often come under fire for being hilariously wrong about how women’s bodies work. For example, in one poll of UK university students, 45% of males said they knew where the “nubis” is, completely unaware of the fact that it’s a made-up body part.
Bored Panda came across a few online threads where women were sharing the most absurd things they’ve heard men say about their bodies with their whole chests, despite being completely wrong. Here are some of the funniest and most shocking answers we found, and it seems men should really step up their female anatomy game.

They think once they're in you must be in an euphoric state. It don't always work that way....

If a woman is 'truly' r***d, her body won't let her become pregnant. What in the seven depths....?

My friend was telling us a story of her male colleague who was down playing menstruation as being difficult for women etc. It turns out he thought that menstrual blood worked more like urine.
When she explained to him that it was more passive and that women didn't have control over the flow etc, he was appalled "Wait, so it just keeps flowing... You can't turn it off?"
I guess he was way more sympathetic once he understood it.

That a woman’s body is “designed” to give birth therefore it’s easy. Bruh we traded in easier birth for upright walking and the birthing process is one of the biggest k**lers of women/people who give birth. Why is there so much b******t still around “d**g free/intervention free birth”? Saving your body from years of complications and/or your mental health from trauma is a perfectly fine reason to choose painkillers/medical intervention.

I’m a bloke:
A few years ago I was fairly unfit. I decided to exercise by going for a run.
And that’s when I first felt my manboobs bounce up and down:(
I finally understood after that. Sorry ladies.

That somehow body hair makes you more unhygienic (even if you bathe/shower just as much as someone who does shave or wax) but that logic never applies to men.

During the height of the early covid toilet paper shortage, a guy I was seeing wouldn't give me toilet paper to p*e after we had s*x. He asked me, "what do you need to p**p?" He truly did not understand that women need to wipe after peeing, nor did he understand women needed to p*e after s*x.
I tried explaining how important it was to, and eventually, he relented and gave me... a f*****g paper towel. He had just gotten a 12-pack of TP that he refused to open (he lived alone).
Today, to say the least, we are not together.

Apparently about half the US senate thinks women's bodies just have ways of blocking unwanted pregnancy from "legitimate r**e".

It was some comment on an educational post that women don’t p*e out of their v**inas. The gentleman replied something to this effect, “so where do they p*e out of? It’s not like they have a third hole!”
So close, buddy. So close to the truth.

I've had multiple men try to explain to me that an average man could beat up the strongest woman in the world. Like they genuinely believe that with no special training, they could beat the c**p out of a professional wrestler or athlete just because "men are stronger than women."

This was like 10 years ago and my boyfriend at the time 100% read it on Reddit, he claimed you could tell if a woman had had a v**inal org**m based on how her hips moved when she walked. Like it unlocked some sort of hip movement.

I had a 55 yrs old man (who’s had his fair share of women in his life) tell me with his full chest that period blood (uterine lining) and the blood in my veins was the same thing.
What was worse, I laughed about this on one of my USA women groups, and half of the replies were from women, arguing with me about it being the same.
That was the day I realized how truly bad the USA education system can be.

That just because my stomach hurts or I’m having a bad day clearly I’m on my period. Women can be in pain or be upset/angry/etc without being on their period.

I think a lot of guys overestimate how sensitive the average woman's n**ples and b**bs are.
