The speculum—a rather chilling and uncomfortable tool that many wish would be reimagined by medical professionals—has recently become the center of some unexpected humor thanks to a viral Facebook post. This post encouraged women to show their partners an image of this device and ask them to identify it. The results? Pure comedic gold!
“Show your partner this picture, take a screenshot of their response, and share it below.” Shout out to the Facebook page Bad Parenting Moments for this entertainment. While a few partners (mostly men) had a reasonable idea about what this instrument is, many were hilariously off the mark.
For those who might need a refresher on their reproductive health vocab (and if that’s the case, maybe it’s time to schedule that overdue doctor’s appointment): a vaginal speculum is a metal tool that gynecologists use to gently separate the vaginal walls. This allows for visual inspections of the vagina and cervix, as well as collecting cervical cells for Pap smears.
Let’s Dive into the Comments
Now, let’s dive into the comments—grab your favorite snack because this is a riot.
One comment read: “What sort of apples does he think this device would peel?”
Others chimed in with their newfound definitions, with some partners inventing completely new names for the speculum.
The confusion was widespread; many men were both baffled and amused by the contraption. One user humorously asserted, “Some kind of shoe horn!”
However, not all men were entirely clueless. One standout partner earned a gold star for his correct response, and another comment was so spot-on it’s hard to believe it was real!
This humorous exchange serves as a gentle reminder that we need to educate our sons about the challenges women face regarding reproductive health. Also, introducing them to the correct terminology—like “vagina”—early on is essential (even if they might still use terms like “cooter” or “gator”).
This post keeps on giving; now, every time I go for a Pap smear, I can’t help but think of eyelash curlers and baby pelicans. That’s definitely a more entertaining thought than what typically occurs at the gynecologist’s office, right?
