Most definitely.

Originally posted by Zild Seriously who actually pays attention in health class? And who is actually stupid enough to not know what a woman's cycle is at least five years before you get to health class? I'd say the average person is.

I dunno... I didn't know what the actual blood was from, or why it happened until I was about 13, which was some time after I had ACTUALLY gotten my first period.

It's definitely not like it is just common sense. Unless someone tells you, how the hell are you supposed to know?

If you claim to want to be with us.. you need to know about us.

axe about , nigga axe about me.

Originally posted by Zild I was joking. But seriously that is the amount of females (at least ones I can tell are female) in my physics and calculus classes.

Yeah, the ratio is similar at the school I went to, as far as I can gather. It's also very obvious in the computer science and engineering departments.

This is kind of a conundrum, because these fields all appear to be ones which reward genuine ability very consistently: there's extremely little room for bullshitting or cronyism in math proofs or physics experiments, so "institutional bias" and "old boys networks" seem rather unlikely as explanations.

Is it just that women are subtly encouraged from a young age to think that they are innately bad in quantitative fields? Do women find them uninteresting? Some other factor or a combination?

Like I said. The average person isn't all that intelligent.

We were taught that in Gr. 5...

a week later *BAM* I hemorrhaged.

All families should keep a good medical reference book around. Naturally inquisitive children will find it pretty fascinating.

For the rest, there is health class, which they will pay no attention in.

They showed us, with a dildo, how to put a condom on. What ten year-old is going to have use for a condom?

Don't ask me. I wish there were more ladies in my classes.

Haha aren't you just brilliantly funny.

Seriously, how the hell is someone supposed to know that shit? Give me a break... people don't just "figure it out".

LOL @ THIS THREAD! I love it.
Drunk convos FTW!



I need to thank Firefox, for with out it no one would be able to read any of this.

I am pretty funny. How do you know. Hmm I could write a book on that maybe can start with asking questions. Like, "mommy what the fuck are these tampon things that are under the sink" , well I don't have to elaborate I'm sure you can think of endless other ways from that one example.

And yes DRUNK convos rule! I almost threw up earlier but now I'm drinking again.

And these days, all kids lucky enough to have the Internet will have Wikipedia!

The glories of the Information Age.

Yeah I had to look it up in the old fashioned printed encyclopedia.

So your mother sat you down and explained to you that in order for mommy to get pregnant she needs to shed her uteral lining on a monthly basis?

Fine.

My mother had cancer and subsequently had a hysterectomy when I was 4, so I never saw "tampons" etc. in the house. I was only told that when I became a woman, I would start to bleed. That was it.

I wasn't told more than that.

Nothing wrong at with having to read about it. Educate yourself anyway you can. Even to this day if I have a question or I am interested in something I read about it or look it up on line. Knowledge is power people!!!

Google is my God.

It's not that hard to figure out - menstruation is clearly just god's way of showing you that he hates the fact that he made you female. Simple as that.

On the subject of sex ed. - our 5th grade class was divided into 2 classes - boys and girls. Girls were taught how guys work and boys were taught how girls work. That's it. We didn't get to learn about how we worked. I am not sure what the reasoning behind this was - perhaps they wished to stimulate or suppress self-exploration.

Shit I made up an example off the top of my head. I'm sure that isn't how I learned about it. Please though try to use any imagination you may have to come up with many other ways someone might learn. It isn't too hard if you try. Let's not play the sympathy card here in defense of ignorance.

That is ao wrong. In order for one to be knowledged about it all, they have to know about them selves first.

I remember we had a box where we could put anonymous questions we had about sex for the teacher to answer. All I can say is that was a huge mistake.

That was how my fifth grade class, but that was only a two-day course. They made a whole month out of it in seventh grade and kept the class together. I don't remember anything from my fifth grade class aside from the dildo. I remember a ton of shit from my seventh grade class.

>.>;;

Can you tell us more about the dildo?

What in the hell is that?

Edit: Okay, so our teacher was our principal. He said he had a bag of various items related to sex. One kid asked if he had a condom. So the teacher said yes and went into detail. Then he pulled out a dildo and showed us how to put it on.
