Look. I'm not a doctor. But IÂ do have a basic understanding of female anatomy. Partially because I happen to be a woman, and partially because I had a relatively decent education.
However, I regret to inform you that there are a lot of people on this planet who seem to have things wrong when it comes to the female body. Like, so wrong that it's actually kind of surprising that they have made it to adulthood with such a twisted understanding of what goes on beneath the skin.
Their misunderstanding is often caused by a combination of a lack of education, their (unfortunate) embarrassment of the human body and all it entails, or straight-up misogyny. It's a real bummer! But at least it makes for hilarious interactions on the World Wide Web. Here are some of the most egregious mistakes that have ever been made when it comes to talking about female anatomy on the Internet.

I know there's nothing more annoying than spending an hour on the toilet, waiting for the pee to make itself through my labyrinthine innards. Sometimes I have to skip lunch!My breasts are down here, thank you very much.
Sure, some people have nipples that are higher up on the chest than other people's. No one's nipples are located there, though.Did you know?

Oh, honey.
Can you imagine a period that lasted forever?! (If you are someone who thought periods lasted forever, you're welcome for this post. Now you know.)Pretty sure you're forgetting something.
I also like that the eyeballs are highlighted here. Please do not poke women in the eyeballs.It's exactly the same thing.

LOL at "3–10 minutes." Like your uterus has a stopwatch. "She just got out of the water! Everybody, get ready to bleed in T-minus 3 minutes!"At least he was too afraid to ask.
