Should men and women, have basic knowledge and understand of the opposite sex's anatomy, functions, and issues?
Should a husband be aware of his wifes, cycles?
Why do some men, get upset or freak out when discussing women's health issues?
inspired by the pussy swelling Q...

Adult humans should have a basic knowledge of all human anatomy, functions and issues.
I'm not sure how a husband would manage to NOT be aware of his wife's cycles.
I don't know why some men get freaked out over discussing women's health issues. My guess is imaturity. I have been a soldier in wartime, I've worked in dairy and I've worked with severely disabled people, so I pretty much don't get squeamish over the various contents of the human/mammal body.
Saw the pussy swelling Q. I would think it would be common sense that if you pound on soft tissue with harder tissue over a very sustained period of time, bruising and soreness will ensue.

What could it hurt? I would think having some knowledge would not only be a benefit for your spouse but also your kids. A lot of men do act ridiculous when it comes to discussing women's health but I believe men in general have more respect for women's health since it is discussed more openly in general.
Most women think just because they know about the penis, ball sack, and sperm that that's all there is to know about men's health. Natural male behavior and issues are viewed as disgusting and something to be poked fun at. But this is often overlooked; mothers with sons can especially benefit.

Yes, we should have a basic understanding at least, especially if you're in a relationship with a member of the opposite sex, or better yet, you have a child of the opposite sex.
I don't know why so many men get freaked out about women's health issues. I guess they're foreign to us, but then again so are many men's issues to women. I really can't answer that. I'd rather not hear about women's problems myself if I can help it, but I'm not scared to death of them like a lot of guys, and would help out if I needed to, and could.

I am all for understanding the anatomy and functions. But I really do not need to hear all the nasty details.
I don't like to hear how dirty the kitchen was in a restaurant before I dine there. Just a long as its clean.

Of course there is nothing wrong with having a basic understanding of each others anatomy. However, not everyone is going to be as unsqueamish as you. Personally, when one of my female friends was pregnant, I heard phrases like "mucous plug" more times than I ever care to again. Seriously, there is nothing wrong with a little knowledge, but a little human compassion can go a long way.
