When it comes to men, sometimes they think they know everything about women. From menstruation to sex to love to life—men think they know all. As it turns out—not quite shockingly—not all men know everything. In fact, there have been hundreds upon hundreds of times where men have gotten it so wrong, it’s almost painful.
Recently, Twitter user @brownandbella asked women online to share the dumbest thing a man has ever said to them about sex, reproductive health, menstruation, or anything else about their bodies.
Women, what is the dumbest thing a man ever said to you about sex, reproductive health, menstruation, etc? Reply with a comment below, no quote RTs.
Let's laugh at these dummies together!

My dad banned me from wearing tampons because they would “take my virginity” and also I would be used to “walking around with a penis between my legs.” Logic that he still fully believes

My ex told me, a women’s health nurse, that the reason my periods were so long and painful was because I don’t drink enough water.

A coworker genuinely thought women did all of our business, including birth, out of 1 hole. He was in his late 20s

Pre-med guy thought that since trauma-related vaginismus is a real thing that any woman raped whose vagina didn't clamp up in…I dunno, rape-vaginismus? was actually biologically willing. Her body wanted the powerful conqueror sperm, he argued, else it would clamp up tight.

I dated a 21 year old who did not realize that menstruation involved bleeding. He asked me how girls know when their period ends, and when I said "the bleeding stops." He screamed "YOU BLEED???" and recoiled in horror.

My husband thought they disconnected the umbilical cord from the baby and put it back inside. Like the hose you use to inflate tires.

Dated this guy who called it a "click" at first I thought I heard him wrong and then I corrected him and he was like no that's not what it's called. I said then what's a clitoris and he told it was something different. I told him if he didn't know what it was he couldn't touch it

My father never let me lift up anything even barely heavy, because he thought if women strained themselves their ovaries could explode.

Dude had a headache, and I offered hi Advil. He pauses and asks, “Will the medicine know where to go? You know, because I don’t have girl parts.”
My man, Advil is not specific to menstrual cramps.

A guy in his 20s thought that every women had her period at the EXACT SAME TIME. Because of the moon.

One time a guy swore to me that a woman’s g spot moves and it was men’s job to continually try and and find this floating g spot that is always in a different place 😂😂😂😂
