No one can deny that biology is a complicated topic, covering all aspects of cells, diffusion, osmosis, microorganisms, plants, animals, anatomy, and physiology - not to mention that the mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell.
Observing the female body's intricate construction is remarkable; however, many people seem perplexed by it. Far too often, individuals rely on social media for their information on the topic instead of doing their own research, leading to misguided views and behaviors toward women.
Unfortunately, many adults today have a poor or misguided understanding of female anatomy, and these misguided notions are often spread as though they were the truth. Thankfully, Reddit's r/badwomensanatomy community allows its 556k members to critique these misconceptions.
The r/badwomensanatomy community of Reddit, which was created in 2014, has a membership of 556k and provides a platform for both members and other Reddit users to critique and discuss the glaring issues in the arguments of its members.
The whimsical bio of the community reads, "Women are made of sugar and spice and all things nice. Except for their vaginas which are squeaky and attract bears and sharks." This community continues to grow, with new content being shared regularly.

moosedownjacketIf we take a serious look at the issue, the fact that these misconceptions exist points to a major problem in society. How did we get to this point?
A survey conducted by NewGov in Britain found that less than half of respondents could not name or explain the purpose of the urethra, labia, or vagina.
Something has gotta change.
