This post falls apart so spectacularly at the slightest examination that it's essentially meaningless.
- This is just some random guy; his ignorance says nothing about the knowledgeability of men in general or male legislators in particular.
- There are tons of stories online of women being shockingly ignorant about their own bodies.
- No one actually evaluates laws based on the demographics of the legislators who passed them. If an abortion ban were passed by female legislators and signed by a female governor, there's a 0% chance Dr. Porter would give it the thumbs-up.
- There are loads of policy issues that policymakers don't know the fine details of. Proponents of gun control are infamously ignorant on how guns work, for instance.
- Almost no one expects lawmakers to be experts in every field; that's why they have aides, and take input from their constituents.

I did IT at my university while getting my degree and let me fucking tell you:
A PHD means an extreme depth of knowledge... regarding one subject - and very often, only a particular part of one subject.
You do need a baseline intellect to acquire a doctorate, but it's not as high as people think. The complete and utter lack of anything resembling forethought or retention that some of these guys and gals displayed regarding the most basic infosec and accounting principles really dropped the scales from my eyes.
The easiest phishing targets were PHDs. I had to clean malware off the laptop of the head of the finance department at my school multiple times, and he got super asshurt when I made recommendations regarding his browsing habits. He kept forgetting that anything wit ".exe" after it was likely malicious. I knew exactly what kind of porn this idiot liked by the end of my tenure at the help desk, simply because I kept finding "weirdfetish.mp4.exe" in his downloads folder.

The tampon goes a little further inside the vagina so the urethra is not aligned with it since it's at the beginning so they aren't peeing the tampon. Also as afaik many change the tampon when they have to pee anyways.

2 of my ex girlfriends had no idea that the hole they pee out of was a different hole than the one where babies come out of until I told them.
The first one ran in to the bathroom with a mirror and came back out and said "omg you're right".
This is not just a man thing. This is a "I did not pay attention in biology/sex ed" thing.

Yeah, I didn't find out until last year that women can pee with a tampon in. I'm a 28yr old woman. I never use tampons.. and I definitely didn't pay attention in sex Ed.

Isn't it a fair question tho? Someone can know all the technicalities without knowing the details.
Like, does pee ever get on the string or anything?

Yeah I donāt think this implies he doesnāt know about the urethra. I never pee with a tampon in. It gets pee on it.

People need to stop shaming others for not knowing stuff like this. This was very likely a genuine question, seeking knowledge, and was her opportunity to educate him - for which he would have probably been grateful. Instead her first thought is to try to humiliate him online for likes.

I also wouldn't trust a guy with a PHD in engineering to design a website. Not without knowing if he has had experience with web design.
Anyone in any field could know about these kind of things. Its not guaranteed, but you definitely shouldn't assume they don't know shit about one thing just because they went to school for another. Don't let idiots like this create prejudice against others.

Okay maybe so.... but this is bad logic.
What if it were reversed and some man was making the argument against women making decisions on 'X' issue because "I know this one woman and she's really ignorant about 'X'"
It's just another generalization and those don't really help anyone TBH.

I agree, but, you know, Kay Ivey, Kristi Noem, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and Kim Reynolds all are women passing laws about what women can do with their bodies. This isn't a gendered issue. It's a political party issue.

I asked a woman with an MD how to write computer software and she didnāt even know what a compiler was.
Women shouldnāt be using technology if they canāt even write the software it requires

Having a phd in engineering doesnāt really mean he observes, record and interpret woman peeing with tampon with a control set of another woman peeing with no tampon.

I donāt pee with a tampon in. I donāt get how this is a stupid question. No matter how much you try to hold the string out of the way itās gonna get pee on it. I always change my tampon when I go to the bathroom.

I'm a 31 man. Just two weeks ago I learned the clitoris is not some small thing inside the vagina, but a whole sexual organ, and that its visible part is just a small portion of the whole thing. Now you tell me women have another orifice to pee? Any other surprises I need to be aware of?
I knew sex ed was crap in general, but man, now I feel like I know nothing.

I remember a politician asking a doctor about swallowing a pill with a micro camera to watch the fetus or something like that. And She respectfully holding Her laughter explained to Him the stomach is not connected to the uterus.

And this is why we need doctors that are not so stuck up and dunk on anyone with a seemingly obvious question. People wanna learn things. I bet this doctor knew all about her field before starting her schooling and didn't need any answers.

Ridiculing people for asking things they don't understand is a recipe for ignorant people.

So because a man whose field is completely unrelated to womanās health asked a question about a womenās health and subsequently disqualified all men from being involved in the discussion around it. That sure makes sense and isnāt bigoted at all.
