The men in our lives mean well (for the most part), but sometimes they’re just genuinely clueless about things, especially the female body. And while it would be easy to blame them, the quality of sex education offered in schools could be the real issue here. Even so, women have historically managed to figure things out faster than men. Women are more open to discussing these topics, and we’re also quicker to admit we don’t know, instead of assuming. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the guys in these stories.

In a viral Reddit thread, women are chiming in to share “that’s not how women work” moments.
The answers are surprising and hilarious but also quite disappointing. It’s clear some of these men may need to consult Google or an anatomy textbook before sharing their thoughts on the female body.

That said, here are 20 of the best “that’s not how women work” moments from the women of Reddit.
1. Period pauses
The first guy I dated wanted to go swimming, but I told him no because I started my period and felt sore and crampy. He asked me if I could finish it before the end of the day so we could go swimming the next day…bruh, I wish it was that easy!
2. “Each time I go down you, you have your vagina already wet…”
I had to explain that’s how vaginas are and that that doesn’t mean I am horny. I also had to explain I need to be more wet to enjoy penetration.
3. It worked for his ex!
An old boyfriend once explained that if I was having cramps, I just needed to do what his ex did: “there’s this one yoga pose that will make that shift in the uterus that usually takes a few days happen in just a few minutes. It drops, and then your period is done in one day instead of four or five”. He couldn’t elaborate any further, (what “shifts”? What “drops”?) But he swore he was 100% right his ex cut her period down to one day with yoga.
4. Where does pee come from?
We don’t pee out of our vaginas. It’s the urethra.
5. Just do it.
I was complaining about my period, and this awful guy goes “just piss it out for f–ks sake.”
6. It takes a little more than five minutes, guys.
Person on TV gives birth. 5 minutes later, belly is flat and back to normal.
THATS NOT HOW THAT WORKS.
7. Babies come wrinkled
Also, babies at TV births are squeaky clean when presented to the mother. No fuss about vernix, blood or wrinkles.
8. Again, it takes more than five minutes…
TV shows births that lasts minutes and not hours… I’m so tired of watching shows where mom’s water breaks and 4 minutes later she has a baby and 5 minutes later she’s doing cartwheel to evade a killer.
My first kid took 12 hours to come out after water breaking.
9. It’s not blue, promise.
Had a guy friend in college who seriously thought women leaked blue liquid during their periods, like what you see in maxi pad commercials.
10. Just like a nosebleed
I was on my period and I had horrible cramps. One of my guy friends came over to keep me company but he wasn’t really prepared for how much pain I was in. I was crying bc it hurt so bad and the poor guy really wanted to help but didn’t know what to do so he just suggested that I ‘ push out all the blood at once bc that usually helped him when trying to stop a nosebleed ‘. After he said that I looked at him like ‘wtf’ and he said ‘ what? Doesn’t it stop hurting once all the blood is out?’ I explained to him what happens to a female body when we get our period and he was just shocked, it kinda cheered me up tho bc I thought it was hilarious.
