I’m not sure that what I needed this Friday morning was a list about all the ways men have no idea how women’s bodies work, but hey – that’s what we’ve got.
Thanks to a TikTok channel called “Roe Vs. Bros”, we get to collectively groan as men reveal just how damn little they know about women’s bodies. On the channel, the authors set out to interview men on the street to find out if they know the answers to some pretty common questions for women.
Guess what.
Prepare to be disappointed.
1. Can you pee with a tampon in?
You got to take it out. I’ve seen a little tampon trash cans in the bathroom, so probably why.
I don’t think it’s recommended.
2. How many tampons do women use while on their period, on average?
One? Or two? I think one, to be honest. They put them inside…ugh.
3. What is a period?
What is the period? It’s the time of the month where the woman is ovulating.
4. How long do you have to wait after birth before having sex?
Maybe leaving the hospital.
Oh god, that man’s poor wife.
Another guy, same question…
I’m gonna guess that you can do it right away. I’m guessing there’s no waiting period.
And ANOTHER…
I have family members who are nine months apart, so I think like probably like a week after.
5. How long can a woman safely leave a tampon in?
I would imagine a new tampon every day. So each day of the period.
RIP, TSS.
6. Why are there different sizes of tampons?
Because there are different sizes of vaginas? I imagine.
Wrong.
7. Does the G-Spot Move?
Yes. (via) stimulation
Here’s another guy:
Oh, yeah. It moves farther up when girls are aroused.
Boi, no.
8. What is a period?
An egg being dispersed. And like an egg being passed. It’s like ovulation.
Another grade A idiot:
When your body says ‘hey let’s make a baby’ and then nothing’s there. So you just shoot out ovaries.
9. How much blood do women lose during their period?
A quart.
A QUART?!?!?!?!??!?!
It’s like four liters.
WHAT?????
10. Can pregnant women go swimming?
I mean, I don’t think unless you go into deep waters, but I think you could just go on a regular beach up to like maybe knee-high. You’ll be fine.
Oh for F’s sake, dude.
Yes, women are even encouraged to swim while pregnant.
