Never try to explain to a 20(ish) whose grade school SCIENCE TEACHERS taught her women urinate from their vaginas that we really don't. Even labeled anatomical diagrams from the AMA WEBSITE won't do the trick. It's like pissing into the wind.

. . . thats just O.o
That paragraph made no grammatical sense whatsoever.
A 20ish woman with sex ed that bad? Where?!?!?!
America
well just get her to go up close to you and show her
Why does a WOMAN not know from where to pee? She can feel and see it ffs.
Perhaps in her mind, “v@gina” is the synonymous with “vulva”. The latter is somewhat correct, since the urethra is included in the vulva.
The real fail, though, is her being corrected with legit info and still not believing it. OP, this isn’t your fail, it’s hers.
*is synonymous. I have NO idea how that “the” got in there…
It is kind of hard to override information we were taught at an early age, but yeah I agree. This is “Learn from MY fail” and I don’t see where the OP has failed. So if you meet someone with faulty knowledge, you shouldn’t try to rectify that? You wouldn’t make the effort to persevere? Hmm, maybe THAT is the fail here.
OP, you should ask this person how women go to the toilet when they’re wearing tampons.
I have heard of women who thought they had to remove a tampon first. In that case, you’d have to ask her to try to pee without removing it.
Aside: don’t assume she thinks she HAS to take it out to pee if she DOES take it out every time she pees. A bathroom break isn’t a bad time to change the cotton rocket. Keeps you from getting written up at work for abusing restroom privileges.
LOL at “cotton rocket”
I call mine “secret agents”
Going to the toilet is considered a privilege where you work?! Wow, that’s harsh. Nobody here would even think about keeping track of how long someone spent in there.
Blame the people that hide in the bathroom, and worse, take smoke breaks there, when they should be working. :-/
People tend not to abuse that in my workplace, Foxy. I’m lucky to work in a positive environment, I guess. Working in mental health almost guarantees you understanding employers. As an ex-smoker, I’d have no problems with my staff taking smoke breaks – if you’re crazily addicted like my colleague, you can’t work well/concentrate properly if you’re desperately craving. He is getting help for that, but no joy as yet.
I think OPs fail here is wasting her time trying to explain it.
TIL…I always had that the other way around…
My mom’s a nurse and people ask how the baby’s going to get out with a catheter “in the way”. -headdesk-
If that wasn’t proof that most catheters are just to make cleanup easier…
Maybe you should have taught her not to eat paint chips when she was little.
+1000 internetz for you
.
To be fair, I had to look it up myself as an adult, I was told only two openings too. Difference is I’m not so pigheaded that when presented with alternate evidence I refused to look it up.
Are you female? If so, eeeeewwwwww, don’t you wipe?
My ex-wife just came in, I asked when she knew, she said she was about three.
What does wiping have to do with it? You cover the entire area if you go front-to-back like you’re supposed to.
When my father was in med school a female student was shocked and not entirely convinced when she was told there’s no bone in a human penis. She said in front of a class, “but all the ones *I’ve* seen had a bone!”
I’d like to pretend that she just got confused because many other mammals do have bones in their penises (it’s called a baculum). But I’m not sure that makes this scenario any better.
If she’s seeing exposed bone during sex, she’s doing it wrong.
I never knew 20(ish) was a noun
Does she not wear tampons? Or does she just take them out every time she pees?
I knew a girl in junior high who thought this. She was convinced that when she was wearing a tampon that she wouldn’t be able to pee. Come to think of it, she was also convinced that a girl’s period stops when she’s submerged in water, i.e. when swimming… I’m thinking she eventually found out the hard way that that is not the case…
Unless she’s an obese paraplegic who cannot see or feel below her own waist, I have no idea how this is even possible.
You must be male if you think we can *see* those parts…
You must be seriously fat if you can’t.
WTF? That was supposed to post to Xebi.
For me? LOL. Fat is something I definitely am not. And I’m pretty flexible too. But even I can’t bend so far as to see what’s between my legs, underneath me and nearer the back than the front. A woman can see the opening of her urethra but only if she knows what she’s looking for: it doesn’t look like an opening or the end of a tube, and if she tried to look at it while peeing she’d squirt herself in the face (nice). It’s impossible to see one’s own vaginal opening without a mirror. You are a man who obviously hasn’t a clue about a woman’s anatomy.
That’s very apparent when he went the fat bashing route.
Women who aren’t sexually active and don’t enjoy alone sexy times via insertion often don’t have enough background info to orientated between the parts by the sense of touch. And some women can’t see the outlet of the urethra even if they look at their bits with a magnifying mirror, it can be very small and obscured by other structures.
“Differentiate, not orientated, sheesh stupid spellcheck.”
Are you stupid, by any chance?
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
