    This post made me realize, I’ve only ever heard “the birds and the bees” referenced, but never actually how it’s applied during sex ed.

    But uh, turns out this does not make any sense in that context either. It’s just two separate examples to explain sexuality, so bees pollinating flowers and birds laying eggs. They’re just used as examples, because they’re visible in nature and somewhat resemble the mechanics of sex.

      But in those examples, the bee is pollinating and the bird is conceiving, so it would make sense.

      They should have used the eggplants and the peaches. Before cell phone emojis that would have made things even more confusing. Then Piper Perry could do the putting the condom on the eggplant demonstration, and every boy could feel inadequate for the next several decades.

      My thinking was that bees are the ones that pollinate, so male.

      But they certainly don’t pollinate birds, so I don’t know where that was going either. 🫠

      I’ve heard reasons for it like "women’s bathroom needs places to dispose of pads/tampons but, like, it’s a box on the wall. Put one in both.

      Also heard reasons along the lines of “men are faster at using the bathroom so why should we need to share with women” (even though with single bathrooms the washing your hands part is the time bottleneck, not the peeing part) or just general disgust at the idea of sharing a bathroom with the other gender (have heard it from both genders).

    “She’s the bees knees” or “look at that sexy bird” I’m still confused after writing it out. Does the stinger go into the cloaca? If so, I’d guess the bee is the man… but then bees are mostly female. I fucking give up. I’d piss in the alley.

          Yeah, I was just trying to point out the absurdity of trying to assign gender to either of them.

          Most bees people think of are worker or queen bees (female) while the birds people tend to picture are bright and colorful (males) or the songs (also typically males). On the other hand people associate birds and egg laying (so I suppose femaleish) and bees have a stinger that could symbolize a penis (though if you have a barbed and venomous penis please stay far away from me).

          So I vote you pick based solely on vibes instead of gender. Hell, I vote we take it a step further and stop gendering bathrooms at all. Just put random unrelated symbols and people can pick which they like. So like one with a book, the other with cheese. Or whatever else you want. Make it a big poop related social experiment.
