It's no secret that some men can be utterly clueless about women's bodies. The most normal, common occurrences to us ladies are somehow, completely mystifying to men.

I mean, just take a look at this viral TikTok in which men are asked about women's bodies. All of the men in the video were completely clueless about things like whether women could pee with tampons in and how many tampons are used per period.

And I know that's just the tip of the iceberg. I've seen all kinds of questions about the female body on Reddit. In this thread, one person asked, "Are women generally less gassy than men are, or is it purely just them hiding it better?"
