As men and women, we’re all guilty of making generalizations about the opposite sex in some ways.
Women largely see guys as simplistic creatures who only care about sports and sex, while men write women off as being overly dramatic and way too complicated to truly understand.
After all, how could you ever be expected to practice self-awareness and reflect on/communicate about your feelings? I don’t know, ladies—is it any wonder we’re so misunderstood?
In the spirit of enlightenment, women came together on Twitter as part of the #thingsmendontknowaboutwomen hashtag to share some seemingly obvious (but not obvious enough to men) facts about the fairer sex.
Many of the responses were about sex and how a guy can be better at it, but there were also tidbits about bodily functions, career, and even just the experience of being a woman in general.
Here were some of the best posts that have popped up thus far.

We find out everything so if you don’t want us to know about it then don’t do it.

We watch porn too. It’s not just the men. We feel sexual urges and we’re not some pure innocent dolls that you can just touch whenever you want to. We are humans just like men. Instead of taking advantage of us, just treat us normally for once…

For a lot of us, our emotions and sexual urges are intertwined. When we feel secure and loved we want to have sex more frequently, we’re more experimental, and way more mentally involved. Treating us well makes sex 10 times better for us and you.— TONI TONE (@t0nit0ne) September 7, 2019

The majority of women get diarrhoea on their period. Period poops are no joke. They’re very very real.

We’re humans.
We have bodily functions.
We sweat and swear and smell.
We’re just as aggressive, just as angry — we’ve just been conditioned to never show it.
We (many of us) like sex MORE than you
We’re JUST FUCKING HUMANS

95% of us don’t give a shit if you buy us $12 super market flowers or spend hundreds on a gift for us, we care about the effort shown and thought and sentiment behind it. Like you buy me a $.25 key chain because you thought of me I’ll keep that forever #WhatMenDontKnowAboutWomen

When we are mad and are talking about how pissed off we are we do not want you to fix it. We want you to be as annoyed as we are as a form of support. #WhatMenDontKnowAboutWomen pic.twitter.com/xlhzPC8utA
