Women Share The Times They Had To Explain Something They Thought Was Well-Known To Their Partner (45 Answers)

I believe that catcalling and harrassment is really rare, WHEN I'M AROUND. Which is why I tell all my friends (male or female) that if they ever feel unsafe to call me.

27 years in construction and I've only seen catcalling once. It was a group of bricklayers on a large, multimillion dollar house that i was on the framing and trim crew for a guy who was himself a large commercial builder. The house was set back a good 500 feet from the street. You couldn't even see what the women looked like from the house but these three would cat call any female walking down the street. Every other person on the job from all the other trades thought it was embarrassing, and looking back I don't know why nobody said anything to them. One day, while they where working on a large chimney, from inside the chimney, two women go walking up the street . They stop laying brick and start catcalling. Then the two women turned into the driveway! They shut up real quick and ducked down inside the chimney. Turns out it was Mrs. Homeowner and her designer. I think they stopped after that. Never seen anything like them before or since.

I've stopped telling my (truly decent and genuinely concerned) partner about catcalling/solicitation, because it stresses him out more than me. I'm just used to it.

Yeah - and men don't often think we get approached for money, that misc men will just sit by us in airports, bars, planes (switch seats, even), cornered or cut off from friends while walking in groups, and this list is endless. They don't believe it because it doesn't happen when they're around.

I would get catcalled all the time when out with my husband. I've found that to some men, there r no obstacles

Glad he listened and understood (so it seems)

That's superb parenting

Upvote for respect!!

That guy is certainly a good guy if he respects the other's feelings

that's a keeper

My wife had an accidental leak on a bedspread. I tried to hide it, but she saw it and was embarrassed. I told her not to be and that it wasn't a big deal. I can't imagine being embarrassed by a bodily function with someone you have been with for 30 years. I am trying to raise my daughter to never feel that way. Normalize periods and all the hassles that come with them!

My first ever period, I thought I'd had diarrhoea. I had no idea what to expect.

Dodged a bullet. Idiot cannot accept basic bio processes

Wow, crass AND ignorant. Thumbs up for making him an ex!

Love the accompanying photo! I can hear the sound effects!

After drinkin beer we belch, too.

On average a woman's digestive system produces more hydrogen sulphide than the one of a man does

When women fart, pink little hearts comes out.

I am always so.... weirded out by men who think that women shouldn't or can't fart or do #2. I mean.... do they think we are literally full of sh1t!?? How are we supposed to get our waste out of the body? Are we doing an opposite-bird (their pee is in the poop)? HOW DO YOU THINK WOMEN'S BODIES WORK!?!? Because I can't even begin to imagine what your answer could possibly be. Smh

The time Charles said he wished he was a Tampax to Camilla. Just. SO CRINGE.

I would take the fact he asked as a good sign. Instead of making assumptions and dying on that "hill" like so many do. And it says a lot that he felt comfy asking OP

I think that Stephanie Meyer Junior, whatever her name is e-something heard this guy’s question the night she wrote The Tampon Extraction scene…….to be clear: mere insertion and extraction of phallic objects, phallus or otherwise, is not stimulating.

Its good of him to ask questions in a respectful manner

Sweet that he just asked the question🥰 For me the feeling when a dentist puts those cottonrols in you're cheek and under you're tongue feels most like it.

Sadly I feel like this isn't talked about enough, kinda like there's some shame attached to it. There shouldn't be and men should know about this stuff..

I truly amazed at how clueless men r about women. When I took sex Ed in school, we learned about men's bodies. I have to imagine they learned about ours

Men are so uneducated about women's bodies. I don't really know why either because we learnt all this stuff in school...in lessons that the boys were also it. It's like they zone out and refuse to learn.

I was constantly accused of infidelity by my ex.

EWWW what kind of CONTROLLING FREAK goes looking through your underwear for semen??? Why would it even be in there you don't keep them on when you f**k

When I was younger, my discharge was so much that I HAD to have something.

Oh dear. What a manchild.

That guy was gonna get a Ph.D. Just WOW!

Discharge is not talked about a lot but it was a relief when my obgym told me they are normal. They vary in colour and texture during the cycle like period blood does. I hate when it's sticky and you pull pubic hair when your want to sit down....

Not all PhD curriculums have a vagina class
