| 118. If you are a guy you can never know to much about women's bodies |
|
Trust me. Women are impressed and appreciative when a guy actually doesn't get that - OMG are you freakin' kiddin' me!? - look on his face when a woman talks about something that's just a part of life for her.
We have put up with feeling like mutant freaks for most of our lives, based in part, on ads like the one mocked in the video.
There is a graffito you run across occasionally in the men's bathroom (don't get me started on potty parity) that reads:
"I don't trust anything that can bleed for a week and still not die."
While I get deflecting your anxieties with humor, it does wear on ones psyche after a while.
But your subject line still made me laugh.
