But here goes.
Firstly, how did they get onto this topic on their first date? But second - we mean, wow, how can a fully grown adult male actually think this?
Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly, depending on your take on things), other Twitter users started chiming in with examples of other men who think equally ridiculous things about the female body.
Someone pass the anatomy books.
Men thinking women can control their periods was a running theme.
@wahweepop Like, all jokes aside, it's actually scary how little men know about periods. I met a guy once who thoug… https://t.co/NvO6vqlhBT— Persephone (@Persephone) 1535907980

Wow, seriously!?

This sounds painful.
My ex husband thought that menopause meant your uterus fell out! He’s 50. https://t.co/V0Vjx5vIyQ— Hyapatia Lee (@Hyapatia Lee) 1535938050
Yep, parents need to do better for these poor uneducated men-folk.

Perhaps women have been telling him this to get out of having to have sex with him...
@wahweepop @PowerLeca My guess is ladies have repeatedly told him this as to avoid sex with him. He was just doing the math...— Sue Palmer (@Sue Palmer) 1535924337
