My friend's dad refused to take her to a gynecologist for endometriosis because he thought that it was A) An STD and B) God's punishment for her having premarital sex. He also overheard my other friend say that she was going on birth control to help regulate a hormone issue and went on a 10 minute tirade about how the hormone issue was caused by her having had sex with her boyfriend, despite her A) Not having a boyfriend, B) Not having had sex, and C) Having a family history of hormone issues.

This man is a high school health teacher. American sex-ed is a travesty.

I told my younger sisters that a period is like changing the sheets on a bed. Your body preps a cozy place for a baby to stay and grow, but if there's no baby then the ”sheets” need to be changed and your body does this every month. Keeps things fresh. It made sense to them lol

I knew a guy who told me "women don't poop." He seriously, really, truly believed that the poop was stored up all month and released as a period. Seriously.

My golden rule: if kids are old enough to ask, they're old enough for a real answer. None of this "I'll explain when you're older" crap. It has never worked and never will

Vaginal vault is my favorite term because it makes it sound like we’re hiding gold which is kind of accurate

[ailem]

Remeber, when explaining to children: simplify, NEVER lie!

[miaphoenix]

My nan’s philosophy was also “if a child is old enough to ask a question they are old enough to hear the answer” because their minds have already started wondering so it is best that they get accurate answers and don’t end up asking someone who is going to give them a totally wrong answer.

My older brother STRONGLY believed that ''the 1st time you sleep with a woman you can't get her pregnant, it's like a free pass, so you don't need protection." He boldly insisted this was true and wouldn't believe otherwise. It didn't matter how many times we explained how much of an idiot he was. My nephews look just like their dad

When I came home from college, my highschool-aged brothers saw a pad that had come unwrapped in the trash. They were worried that something bad had happened. My mom lectured me about being careful when wrapping pads. She was upset that she had to reassure them about our safety. I was dumbfounded that she was blaming her own failure to educate my brothers on me. They were plenty old enough to know what a period was. If I could go back in time, I would march to my brothers and give a sex ed lesson in front of my mom.

I was 3 when my mother had a hysterectomy at the age of 27. She told us that she was having her "baby making machine" removed because it had spots on it (cancer). I pictured a very Dr. Seussian machine with giant purple spots all over it.
In my little mind, that was enough information. Kids adapt. Be honest to their age level.

mama doctor jones should create a kids series for parents to show their kids!

I once had a male high school science teacher refuse to let a teenage girl go to the bathroom/nurse's office because her cramps were so bad. His response was "my wife also has periods/cramps, and hers aren't that bad" so, you know--this poor girl who's in tears must be lying. Not even getting into the whole periods are different for each person thing, he apparently still didn't realize that his grown adult wife would have had a lot more time to get used to cramps than a teenaged girl. Still irritates me to this day.

"Because Eve ate the apple?" Oof. This mother is already teaching her daughter that her period is bad; that periods are punishment for original sin..

[katepetrosky]

It always stresses me out how much people don't understand women's anatomy.

[cutelatina]

One ex boyfriend thought we only menstruated when we go to the bathroom. Like blood would only come out if we're in the toilet.
I was "I wish!!" 🙃

[hannahelsenheimer]

My mother NEVER talked to me about having a period. The day I got it i was TERRIFIED and when I told her, I was treated as a huge inconvenience and a burden. Talk to your daughters about their cycles PLEASE! This was so confusing for me and left me feeling shamed, rejected, and confused.

[Fluffykunn]

That moment when a gay man knows more about the female anatomy with no first hand experience compared to a straight man who would probably have actually hands on experience.

"If they're old enough to ask those questions, they're old enough for you to answer"

Developmental psychologists and middle school teachers everywhere: THANK YOU

MDJ: “this is called mittelschmerz”

My head: 🎶mittelschmerz evil incorporated🎶

[sabrinagranger]

Omg the "Eve ate the apple" thing reminds of when I was in grammar school, maybe 14 or 15, and I was listening to my friend complain about period cramps. One of our teachers, a middle-aged man, overheard the conversation and said "Well, you ladies took the apple!" but my Pagan ass didn't catch the Biblical reference so I sat there with a serious face and forced him to explain what he had just said.
