are women really this stupid?

Question

been reading through these pregnancy questions. i cant believe how dumb some of these women are. one person in particular cant remember her may period when its not even may yet. another claims to have not had a period for 9 months and wonders if she pregnant. are people actually this stupid clueless and uninformed or is it just me. sorry for ranting but this bugs me. your on the internet type in pregnancy and periods and get educated. i understand the ones asking about effacement and contractions and what labor is like but these i had sex on saturday am i pregnant are driving me nuts. learn how you can get pregnant or dont have sex its that simple

sorry but it really bugs me when women are this uneducated about their own bodies theres no excuse for this

to the one who mentioned that not everyone gets sex ed. im sorry your an idiot. every woman is taught all about her period and how it works and what to expect. and all about pregnancy and how it happens. your on the net for crying out loud google it

i guess i dont understand how you could go through puberty and life and not know your on body

to the last person. i never claimed to know it all. but i am educated and chose to not type properly. how i type is unimportant. at least i am not stupid and ask a random group of strangers if im pregnant. i go to the store and buy a test. i know my body and cycle very well

who cares if i can type or not. i dont. there are far too many resources out there for these girls or women to be this uninformed. im sorry. theres books the internet their parents. by the way my periods arent regular. i just know my body. i took the time to do reasearch

i have home training on how to talk and treat people.

Answer 1

I agree, it scares me that there are people that are that naive and uninformed having babies. Sadly it doesn't take brains to have sex. Personally if I had a really dumb question, I think I would google it instead of asking it on here. Those people make themselves look like idiots. I thought the school systems used to give the scientific facts on how conception occurs and when, things like that. I was informed on these things back in grade school for crying out loud! If something as crazy as a baby being formed is going to happen inside me, I want to know exactly what's going on and why. That's just me though.

Answer 2

I think you do have a point, but I don't agree with everything you said. It does seem that some women know absolutely NOTHING about their bodies, and that is sad because they should. However, sex ed doesn't teach us everything we need to know, and neither do our mothers. For that matter, nursing school didn't teach me everything that I learned in the 8 months that it took me to achieve the pregnancy that I now carry at 16 weeks!

There is a lot of information out there that isn't openly shared with a lot of women. Signs of normal ovulation and cycle for example. How many women know that their cervical mucous (if they even know what cervical mucous is) changes throughout the course of their cycle? How many know that it goes from dry-creamy-clear-eggwhite?

How many women who are trying to get pregnant know how to take their basal body temperature and chart it? How many then know accurately what determines when they ovulated, and the best days to have intercourse?

How many women know how long sperm can survive inside the female body? How many know what the best conditions are? How many know that just about every lubricant out there is counterproductive to sperm motility?

Also...how many women know that the average woman does NOT ovulate on day 14 like textbooks say, and if they don't it doesn't mean there is anything wrong? How many know that there may be some months that they don't ovulate at all, and the only way to catch that is to chart the basal body temp each morning?

Are you getting my point? There is so much more to know than the basics. You can't fault women for not know all of this.

Answer 3

i think you are a bit rude to be honest some of these people may be "young and stupid" but they are obviously asking for a reason wether it be they are too embarrased to speak to a doctor or their parents or something to that effect YOU DONT KNOW.... if their menstrual cycle is regular as clock work it may be worrying to them and as far as being educated if your parents are old fashioned they may not allow you to participate in sex education and i know a few people like that and in saying that their parents wont talk to them about it either so do you really think they would ask someone they know about things like this I DONT if these questions bug you so much why do you continue to read them??????? also it doesnt matter how much you can look up on google.com etc about pregnancy or conception or even sex most of the articles dont say the same thing so you still cant get the answer your looking for and even if you do find it you may still want other peoples opinion as they may have experienced the same hardships or symptoms

Answer 4

It's not about being uneducated because there are a lot of smart people out there with random questions. Some people just like to get a second opinion about things. There's only so much you can read over the internet and know that it's actually true. If you can get your question answered by someone who's experienced it, that makes it all the better. You really should not make judgements like that because you don't know what backgrounds these people come from. Yeah everybody has that blonde moment, but you can't pass judgement by calling them stupid or dumb. While you are judging someone is judging you!

Answer 5

To be somewhat fair to the original poster, some of the questions that show up on here are a little over the top. "Can I get pregnant from phone sex?" "Can I get pregnant with a second baby when I'm already five months pregnant with my first?" "Is drinking water during pregnancy OK?" "Is twirling your wedding ring over your belly on a string a genuine scientific method for determining the gender of the baby?"

And yes, the proliferation of "I had sex 10 minutes ago and now I really want a banana split with a pickle on top. Does this mean I'm pregnant?" questions do make you shake your head.

Answer 6

The 'am i pregnant' or 'if we have sex in the bath can i still get pregnant' kind of questions are a little annoying sometimes, but its not really my place to judge or call them stupid
And i cant say anything, i ask questions on here all the time and il bet half the people reading them are sayin to themselves 'duh! how could she not know this?'
Though i dont ask the kinds of questions u are referring to, i dont know a LOT about pregnancy and im sure people get annoyed with my questions.
Maybe thats why i feel i cant judge- im a dumbass too lol

Answer 7

maybe this is the very first step in educating themselves? i know that asking "am i pregnant, i just had sex on saturday" can seem silly, but pregnancy for some is exciting, for some its terrifying and not everyone deals with it all the same way. if you dont have a real question, then dont bother posting here. youre just on here to rant, and judge. this has been a very useful resource for me as a woman, and I know others obviously appreciate having it here as well. im sorry that we all arent as infomed and intelligent as you.

Answer 8

You're just as ignorant and "stupid" if you feel the need to take the time, come onto this site and insult people. They may not have had the same quality education as you. Maybe some of these people don't have friends or parents or someone they are comfortable talking to about thses kinds of things or maybe they are really young and scared. If you are that educated..and intellinget what are you doing on this website in the first place......shouldn't you know all of this already or know enough if you are in fact pregnant and have questions about labor.....to ask a friend or your doctor..maybe???? To prove my point...there is no such thing as a stupid question....you are the ignorant woman on this site...get a life

Answer 9

I just ignore them, I figure their stupidity is enough punishment.
But you're right. My favs are "What are the chances of me being pregnant if this and that" as if there is some magical calculator you can plug data into and get a percentage. Or "here is a list of my symptoms, could I be pregnant?" as if Yahoo! answers and not the test is a better resource!!!

Answer 10

some women have irregular periods. they may only get their period every 6 months, as appose to 1 a month, now shes noticed that she hasnt had her period in 9 months. i knew a women who had irregular periods and didn't find out she was pregnant until she 5 months. she went for preggo tests an they all came back negative. they even thought that her baby was a cist. she was on the operating table to have it removed when they did a blood test. so, sometimes what u consider to be"clueless" cant be helped. if u dont like the questions that are being asked than i suggest u dont read them.
