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.

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

If you raise your arms above your head while you're pregnant, it will make the cord strangle the baby.

As a response to me threatening an otherwise pretty smart (but extremely annoying) guy with a kick in the nuts:
"If you do that, I'll punch you in the b***s" (assuming they are that sensitive that it would really hurt)
I responded that they would most likely cushion the punch bc I'm 32F/G UK size.
"Periods don't hurt that much that you need to be curled up on the chair" - my classmate, after my teacher noticed me sitting weird and me saying that I'm on my period and that the position helps with the pain. I literally puke from pain on the bad days.
"You cannot faint from low blood pressure" B***h tell that to the scar on my lip I got from fainting and hitting a table with my lower lip (okay, that one isnt specifically woman's body but still).

I work at a glass shop and a guy once tried to warn me that lifting heavy things is bad for women because it affects the uterus.

Ex husband said he knew 100% that I cheated on him because......my v****a was hot.
We were dating at the time and in hind sight it was a big ol red flag. Still married him and that fun continued until well after our divorce.

The idea that you can transfer an ectopic pregnancy from the fallopian tube to the uterus instead of terminating it. Not just ridiculous, but dangerous.

A guy once told me he was going to suck on my g-spot. He clearly had no clue what or where it is.
An ex many years ago asked me why I didn't go for prostate checkups.

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.

Lot of great answers here, boundaries and bodily autonomy are a right and not a luxury.
On a less serious note, when I was younger I thought women didn't have a urethra. I hadn't really put the thought into it but I guess I just assumed their p*e came from their uterus or something, not that I knew much about that either.

On seeing me topless for the first time: "But... they're not perky!" (Gs don't tend to be, no...)
Bonus, is he said that right after, "Wait, that's NOT a tan?" (I have a Mediterranean olive-gold complexion.)

I had a guy at school once ask me how I handled my breasts leaking all the time, apparently he thought that all women started producing milk as soon as they hit puberty and was wondering how our shirts weren't ever showing wet spots or anything. I tried to explain to him that women don't produce mile until after child birth (sometimes during the pregnancy too, I produced while I was pregnant)
He just looked at me completely confused and claimed I was lying because the conversation was making me uncomfortable, declared he would ask his mother who wouldn't be embarrassed. I don't know if he ever did ask her but he never ran up to me telling me I was an idiot and I was wrong afterward, hopefully she set him straight.

I knew a guy who thought the term "f**ked her brains out" meant that a girl had too much rough s*x and "her v****a starts falling out and you have to push it back in" he literally thought long wavy labia minora were a f*****g v**inal prolapse.

My SO actually, in all seriousness, thought that every time we have s*x, his d**k goes into my uterus.
When I heard that from him, I knew why he didn't know that that "thing" at the top/end of my v****a is my cervix.

You can't go swimming while pregnant or you'll drown the baby.
You can get the baby girl pregnant if you have unprotected s*x while late term pregnant.
You can swallow things and they'll end up in your uterus (cameras, pills, etc).
Interracial couples have a harder time conceiving because the woman views his s***m as foreign invaders.
You can get pregnant from watch too much p**n.

That we store the dna of the first man we f**k (apparently only first) and that the kid that we will have in a future, however distant future, will have dna of the first lover and never be fully another man's.

That women don't get diarrhea because they get periods so it's like a biological trade off.
