35 Opinions About The Female Body From People Who Definitely Skipped Women’s Anatomy Class (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertBy widely accepted definition, humans have 79 organs. If you aren’t a doctor or an expert, chances are that your memory of knowing what their functions are has become quite rusty since the last time you sat in a biology class. This seems to be a particular issue when it comes to the woman’s body, as many men seem to have skipped this lesson entirely.
That’s why the subreddit ‘Bad Women's Anatomy’ exists, full of blissfully ignorant males wrongly commenting on the female body. And since they decided to spell out their unbelievable opinions online, it’s only right that the Internet shames them in return. Scroll down to find some of the worst misconceptions about women's health, and don’t forget to share similar encounters below!
While you’re at it, make sure to check out a conversation with sexual empowerment coach and the host of The Unapologetic podcast, Jannine MacKinnon, who kindly agreed to tell us how we could educate ourselves better about the female body.

Ah Yes, Whoever Would A Silly Woman Need To Track Days
What The F**kis A Vulva?
Haha
Sexual empowerment coach and the host of The Unapologetic podcast, Jannine MacKinnon, believes that women’s bodies are still surrounded by mystery because we as a society have placed a lot of shame around them.
“Although it's shifting, western culture placed a lot of shame around women's bodies, menstruation, and sexuality, making these subjects hard to talk about openly and keeping conversations behind closed doors. Furthermore, there were very limited studies done on women's bodies, leaving women with limited information to begin with.”

"Now what do I do?" I'd say don't breed but I guess that's too late..
According to the Mental Health Foundation’s survey, around 85% of women feel uncomfortable in their bodies, which prevents them from talking about them or seeking out medical professionals' help when health issues arise.

YTA, obviously. How DARE you suggest that your daughter has a vagina at such a young age??? /s
Even those who gather the courage to talk to a medical professional about their concerns might not receive fair treatment, as before 1993 females weren’t included in clinical trials, and to this day the medical field is still not sure how many drugs and devices work for women.

This Was A Comment Under The Carrie Period Scene
Wait... I'm just getting to work now... time to switch the "OFF" button
Serious question: Where is the source of the myth that the period comes as we wish? I have read it so often. Guys, if this would be possible, why would any girl or Woman think 'Oh, tomorrow is a very important appointment / school thing / date , that is a great situation for bleeding and cramps and a bad mood!'
Another reason why actual biology needs to be taught. There are too many uninformed people out there.
Ok, one last time for the boys that don't know. Having a period sucks. It's uncomfortable, it screws with your body, your hormones, and your digestive system, it's painful in a way that you couldn't possibly imagine unless you consider someone randomly sucker punching you in the balls for 3-7 days. If we could "turn it off" at will, would you not think we would keep it off until needed for reproduction? Do you think we're just doing it cuz the tampons come in fun new sporty colors now? Sheesh.
They come in colours? *looks forward to next month*
Load More Replies...It's a period. It's not like holding in a fart. How are men this dumb?
Have they ever tried to "hold the blood in" when they've cut themselves? Works great, doesn't it?
Maybe it only works in certain places? I'll go test it on them. See in what areas they can hold it in.
Load More Replies...Wouldn't that be convenient, sure someone should have thought about it in 50k years!?!
Yeah ...trust me, we all wish it worked that way...now go peeee yourself
Most clinical testing and research has been done on men, as testing on women included too many unstable variables, like fluctuating hormones, and required greater funds to cover both gender studies. However, this is slowly but surely changing by focusing more on health conditions that everybody has but that might be experienced differently by men and women.

MacKinnon emphasizes that it’s important to understand the female body better. “Women spend an average of 7 years of their lives menstruating and are affected by their hormones throughout their cycles. Something that affects women's energy, fertility, moods, sleep, sexuality, and so much more is worthy of understanding. Women are roughly half of the population, why wouldn't it be important for women to understand their own bodies, and for women and men to understand each other's?”

The reason is, that self proclaimed "alphas" can't impress anyone above 30 anymore.
One way to understand the female body better is to talk about it more with men and women. This will help to normalize these conversations and help educate ourselves and others, says MacKinnon. “Men run on an average 24-hour hormonal cycle, while women run on an average 28-day hormonal cycle. The more women can understand how they're affected by the 4 phases of their cycles, the more they're able to thrive throughout the month and be less negatively impacted by menstruation,” she further explains.

It’s especially important that men get educated on the female body, as they significantly outnumber women in state legislatures, who make decisions that affect women. When male politicians who govern people are uneducated, they may make choices that restrict the liberty of women.

Just like Donald Trump, who, in one of his recent interviews, blurted out that he plans to make birth control much harder to get, particularly for people living in less fortunate conditions. Even though he later denied this, there’s no way to ensure that he won’t commit to it if he gets the presidential chair.

Imagine A Young Girl Seeing This And Thinking Something Is Wrong With Her Body?
????
So every woman who is NOT pregnant after EVERY ovulation is a mass murderer. I've heard this one before. Southern Baptists are sick MFs.
Meanwhile, learning about the female body can make women more comfortable in their own skin. In addition, familiarizing yourself with your own physiology can help make more informed decisions about health. And when women can make autonomous decisions about their bodies, it unburdens half of the population and benefits everyone.

There are two that I have seen and heard quite often that aren't in this gallery. The first one crops up regularly amongst the anti-abortion crowd and is often cited as a reason to not have a rape-exclusion clause in legislation banning abortions. These people believe, or claim to believe, that a woman's reproductive system shuts down during an assault so they cannot get pregnant from rape. The other is a claim that the larger a woman's labia, the more men she's had sex with, as if the labia function as a slutometer! I have asked men who believe this how they think it works, and why it would affect a woman who might have sex once a week but with a different man each time, but not one who has sex every night with the same man. The typical response? "It's just true..look it up".
Never obey when being told to just believe. Never! Obey in regard to action if need be - emergencies or so - but, we always have the time to sincerely gather knowledge, and to prove it. Science works because it's systematic, a scheme to approximate our shared model of reality further to actual reality, so to say.
Load More Replies...I think there's a serious lack of good education which translates into men having no clue but think they have one and then go on mansplaining to women on the basis of, at best, anecdotal evidence and, at worst, things they picked up from those misogynistic you tube videos and the Internet in general.
THESE MEN DO NOT REPRESENT US!! (other males) THEY ARE JUST A VERY VOCAL MINORITY!
And... these are the men making laws about what women can or can't do with our bodies.
Do you want a rather sweet story about a misconception because of naivety rather than wilful ignorance? Here goes. About 40 years ago a couple of good friends of mine were expecting their first child. Now, they had both had strict Catholic upbringings, including schooling, and as a result their sex education was rudimentary at best. We were talking one day when she was at around 5-6 months gone; they were both really excited about the pregnancy except for one thing - they missed not being able to make love. I asked what was stopping them (we were close friends and had many candid conversations so I wasn't being inappropriate) and they said that they couldn't have sex 'because of the baby'. I told them that there was no need to worry because it wouldn't cause any harm, and that's when he said "I know I won't hurt the baby, but my w***y will be touching it and that's just wrong!" They were so happy when I explained why that wouldn't happen.
Many of these stories are very good reasons why male politicians should NEVER be involved in any kind of female abortion/health issues.
I'm glad these are here. So other, uneducated people, can read about it and get curious. And teach themselves the correct answer.
I'm a guy and I honestly can't believe I'm sharing the planet with all these knuckledraggers!
LOL makes me wonder what they're teaching in biology now... and how many folks really pay attention any more... I remember in 5th grade, all the little boys got to go outside and play while us ladies had to sit and watch a film, and listen to some very uncomfortable lady teachers explain menstruation to us. :-D
You know what's weird? Everyone assumes that proper sex ed is teaching about female reproductive organs. I'm a man, and I know more about ovaries and vaginas than about prostates.
Proper sex ed should definitely be about teaching all...
Load More Replies...Men, including male doctors, are incredibly ignorant about the female body. I highly recommend that every male read: Eve by Cat Bohannon. She describes the evolutionary history of the female body with precision and humor. Some very amazing facts about the incredible workings of the female body. For example, there are pores around the nipple that sample the drool of a suckling baby, analyze its needs and the breast milk formula is adjusted to provide specifically what the baby's body requires. Simply amazing.
Everything a young man learns about the female anatomy either comes from the locker room or from his parents who have no clue why he has sixteen siblings.
Who the hell types this stuff?? My Mom was an OB-GYN and from a decent age we were taught how things worked. Dad was pretty cool on teh stuff too. I see people like this and I just want to bite someone! Not to get politics involved here but I'd guarantee most of these dumbasses vote red. Faith is OK, religion... well...
I... I'm trying not to be ashamed. Like, I can't claim these guys, and it's not on *all men* to fix these men. But wow. That's... I need to take a shower.
I need to go back into time and erase these things from my mind. These were atrocious.
Science. We NEED science back in schools. Anatomy charts for male and female bodies posted on the walls in elementary school. Yes, elementary so people can view human structures without sexualizing them. Children can learn anatomy in a clinical manner and accept that its just the way we're built.
Things like this show me that we should NEVER let men have control over our bodies
Why do so many men think that we pee through the vagina? We have a urethra like every other mammal!
I can answer that; it isn't that they don't think women have a urethra, it's the positioning that they aren't aware of. Because men have just the one external hole for both semen and urine with the internal 'plumbing' feeding into the same outlet, they assume that women have the same basic layout, with the urethra opening out onto the wall of the vaginal canal.

Did anyone read all the drivel in the middle? Can't we just have a funny thread? Does it have to be politicized?
