This woman’s date thought periods last an entire month – our favourite 13 responses
Two slightly unusual things about this woman’s date. First – the guy apparently thought periods last an entire month. Second – how did the topic come up in the first place?
Well, he’s only 28, maybe the topic hasn’t come up in class yet.
It prompted all sorts of responses from people – okay then, mostly women – who had something to say about it and shared their own stories of men who knew too little.
Here are some of the best, as highlights by the good people of Someecards.

Like, all jokes aside, it's actually scary how little men know about periods. I met a guy once who thought that women could control their periods: like turn it on and off like a tap. pic.twitter.com/XGngssGc5o

It's good that you got the 'how long do you think a period lasts?' convo done on the 1st date. A lot of people leave it till a few more dates In.

My guess is ladies have repeatedly told him this as to avoid sex with him. He was just doing the math…

I definitely had to teach a man in his 20s that we don't pee out of our vaginas.

We need better Sex Ed in this country. I can't count how many times I've been asked why I don't "just hold it in" https://t.co/Q4aXBZSqlq

I once heard a boy say that women still had periods when they were pregnant, and that women could only get their periods at the very beginning or end of the month, never in the middle.

My ex-husband honestly believed that women had fewer ribs than men until he was in his early twenties.
