“so i told my boyfriend i was having my period and he said “Again?”” Well he is in for a ride

"by calf i thought you meant a baby cow" "yes, a baby sheep is the most sensitive part of my body" "a baby sheep?" *has a mental breakdown*

My favourite is the “women explode over anything” stereotype when all of history has shown that this is absolutely not the case.

As a transmasculine person, I can confirm, I am against periods, and have decided to boycott them, thank you

Speaking as someone who has periods, I am VERY against periods XD

I feel the urge to clarify the “periods have tiny baby bits in it” part, just in case! Yes, there are tissue bits in period blood. That’s the uterus lining that builds up each month in preparation for a potential pregnancy. If there’s no pregnancy, out goes the old lining and those are the thicker bits and pieces one can see in period blood.

"Not against periods or anything" Me on my first day with my cramps and hurting back : "I am !"

Can men stop saying they like "natural" women when referring to women who don't wear makeup or wear very little makeup and then get super grossed out by body hair on women? Everyone has body hair. If you're not mature enough to handle that, I don't think you're mature enough to be dating anyone.

I saw one where it was like "why don't females donate their period blood to blood banks???" I've already commented this but it's still incredibly uncomfortable to imagine

That "Specimen: Woman" thing was probably the worst thing I've ever heard/seen as one of those "funny posters" or whatever. That's literally disgusting in every single way. How could anyone ever come up with that and think they're HILARIOUS for doing so? The delusion of some people.

As a woman I am against periods, they hurt like hell and I’m sick of it like I’d rather just not

“Unless there is a 3rd hole somewhere for the pee to come out of” He’s technically right but he’s needs to learn

"If you're gonna sound like an absolute turd, don't tweet it" Shaaba handing out important life advice👌👌👌

No no no, the guy who is confused about not having to use pads/tampons after a while thinks that women eventually learn and train themselves to hold it all in. You missed the bad part of the post lmao

“Where do organs go?!” The arms, Jamie. That’s what the arms are for.

"If you can not improve upon the silence, don't say anything." Is a useful, gender neutral phrase. That's pretty much bad women's anatomy, not how girls work, and men writing women to name a few lol

I'm transgender, but I haven't came out to my mum yet, and quite frankly, I'm terrified. But your videos make me feel validated, so thank you :)

ah yes, as a woman i also cry ink

This reminded me of one time when my cis male friend asked if he could ask me questions about periods that he had always wanted to ask but never had the courage too. I was like, "sure, go ahead!" He asked a number of questions, and then asked what was the worst part of getting your period, like, what hurt the most. I told him that each person has it differently, everyone's experiences with periods are different, but that to me, personally, the worst part is the lower back pain. He then had the guts to reply with, "I disagree. I think the worst part must be the cramps". And I was like "EXCUSE ME? You 'DISAGREE'??" I stg the audacity! I took a deep breath and explained to him that he was mansplaining something that he couldn't possibly know anything about and all that. I tried to be patient, but I swear I wanted to punch him in the face that very moment.

The ‘element poster’ was on the wall of my chemistry class in high school FOR YEARS. It wasn’t until a group of girls complained about it that it got taken down.

this was both terrifying and fun 😂 thanks for having me spuds! 🥰

A cIs male straight friend would complain that I was "always ill" about once a month 🙄

Jamie has golden retriever energy, Shaaba has husky energy, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

"I found out that girls have sensitive parts of their bodies" - this guy has no feeling in his legs and needs medical attention but he doesn't know others have sense of touch in their legs 😱

English is not my first language and I didn't know that "calf" could also mean a body part (not only a baby cow) so, needless to say, I was very confused. yes, baby cow is a sensitive part of the body.

The way Shaaba covered her face with her hair when she was embarrassed about the sheep comment was the cutest thing 😂🙏🏼 (5:22)

To be fair that drawing was a fashion plate from the victorian era. It's an idealised (and highly exagerated) image the same way today fashion advertisement is idealised... Nobody actually expected women to look like that.

On our honeymoon, my ex husband literally asked me, "How many holes DO women have?" And that was probably the beginning of the end, TBH.

“Well it depends, if you pull the lever...” Shaaba is so frickin funny. I get excited whenever I see her in the thumbnail.

You two are so adorable. I think this is the definition of a healthy and happy relationship.

I keep trying to cancel my period subscription but customer service is horrible! They keep saying I'm on a long term contract or something.

The one about our periods containing fetal material got me. I would have thought in the 21st century it would be common knowledge that you get your period because you’re not pregnant so how can it contain fetal material 🤔

One that I read on this subreddit that I’ve brought up in real life only to find a SHOCKING amount of cis men who also thought this: periods are just like pee and you should be able to hold them in until you go to the toilet. The irl men didn’t believe the “should” part just thought it was possible.

Oh these were scary. I sent a few screenshots to my husband. Especially poignant today as I started my period. My 4 sons and my husband are very well versed in the facts surrounding periods. Mine is excruciating so I was able to see the value in teaching them to understand the facts and to be sympathetic.

10:10 In Irish there's a wonderful saying: "A silent mouth makes a sweet sound" (Is binn béal ina thost)

Okay, so I can explain that drawing. Firstly, it’s just a drawing, so the proportions generally aren’t accurate. Think of our modern fashion drawings- they aren’t accurate proportions either. This is from 1894-1896, at the very height of the poof when it comes to sleeves. As for the teeny tiny waist- when women would wear these fashions, it was mostly an illusion. Tight lacing if corsets was pretty rare, generally only done by the Kardashian types of the day, abs even then only for events. Also, if you see a photograph and think “how is that even possible to have a waist that small?” Well, it’s not. They did alter photographs back then. See Bernadette Banner’s latest video for info on that. But the illusion comes from having padded busts, massive sleeves and padded hips. You don’t need to tight lace a corset if everything else is already making your waist look a lot smaller in comparison. And women back then were not shy about adding a bit of padding to make their bods look the way they wanted. At the time, it was more about shape than size- and that shape was actually accessible to a lot more women than what current beauty standards are. So don’t be too bothered by the drawing. It is already a little exaggerated (as all fashion drawings were and still are), but even then, it’s still mostly illusion.

I mean that person was not wrong, I would also be worried if my mail came hairy by the post

Shaaba freaking out about the 'baby sheep' thing and covering her face with her hair has got to be the cutest thing I've ever seen

the thing about the drawing with a corset is that the same reason that picture was drawn like that is the same as why fashion industry uses photoshop: un-real ideals. but also as an added side note; biggest reason why the waist looks so tiny is the proportions of the rest of the outfit huge sleeves, etc.

As someone very into historical fashion I can answer all your concerns with one word: ✨padding✨

can we have a Jamie & Shaaba react to Eugene Lee Yang's "100 years of gay icons"? please?

I still get looks about my armpit hair. I stopped shaving partly because I would get rashes easily and now I just can't be bothered.

My favourite saying used to be "Just because YOU don't understand something does not make IT stupid", I replaced it with "You don't have to attend every argument you are invited to", because answering the peeps from the first was doing my head in. :)

That "specimen woman" thing already made me puke halfway through, but every time I thought "now it really can't get worse" it did...

New, old saying: It's better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Great job on the dining room walls! Would love a Shaaba animal association video. Calves equal cows, etc.

Shaaba is so incredibly gorgeous wow

The talk about periods reminds me of when we went to a water park with my family and just beforehand my mother found out she was on her period so she told us we had to go by ourselves. My brother asks if she couldn’t skip it this time 😂

“i didn’t know about mascara i just thought girls cried ink like squids” LMAO MY LUNGS 😭

I am SIMPING for Shaabas hair! Its so gorgeous! 🥰

hello everyone! reminder to drink some water, have a snack, take any meds you need to take, and show yourself some love today! you have been working so hard, and you deserve it! im so proud of you. stay safe my friends, i love you so much

describing periods as a monthly subscription is actually pretty accurate considering how much money one has to spend on period products

2:32 I love Shaaba's laugh 😂😂

the fact that someone thought period blood has bits of dead baby in it had me screaming afeiuhrliguardh

I absolutly want a vid about Shaabas lack of animal knowledge!!

The one at 1:42 is actually a fashion plate from the 1890s. Fashion plates were meant to display the fashionable silhouette at the time by exaggerating proportions to really get the point across. It’s not meant to be a realistic representation of of women, or what they looked like in the 1890s. Hope this helps.

10:55 i feel like im getting a talk with my parents about puberty and such xD

I am simple folk. I see Jammidodger, I click.

4:36 ‘if you pull the lever’ - I’m crying 🤣😭 Edit: autocorrect

The funniest thing for me is that I recognised the first photo because, believe it or not, that plastic surgery clinic is near me (hello from Melbourne, Australia) and I've been giggling over their unfortunate logo for years now, every time I drive past their office 😆 such a small world!!

1:49 any historical cosplayers/dress makers are probably screaming lol (lot of misunderstanding around corsets and that sort of thing)

“boys cry like squids too” i love you shaaba

I'm starting hrt in less than 2 weeks and i cant wait for the butt hair and acne :)) No but really, I'm very excited about the changes and super happy it's finally happening

The grazing the back of the classmates leg just reminded me of Scott Pilgrim with Roxy - "Her weak point's the back of her knees!"

Been married to my other half for 29 years, you two remind me of him and I, so much laughter with each other. Genuinely a joy to watch your vids, especially your collabs.

5:18 Lmaooooo reminds me when you were playing on Twitch: Jamie: what is white and fluffy and goes baaa? shaaba: a goat

Love it when Shaaba joins you in a video - such a delightful human. The "woman" trading card (whatever it was) was so grim, but totally could see that as an element to a hen/stag party game, as Shaaba suggested. It'd actually be interesting to see you pick apart some hen/stag party stuff... Because it's usually cringingly misogynist (and naturally very hetero normative).

Shaaba saying "you do you boo" was so wholesome I almost cried

I was so confused - my phone died when you said that's it, and I thought it was part of the joke, like an extreme joking reaction, and didn't realise that it was because my phone died until my bluetooth earphones said they were turning off 😹

jamie: "films a video only in a tanktop" my brain: OH NO HES HOT me: OH NO HES GOT A PARTNER

Hello, comments:D Wanted to tell you guys I got my hair cut short recently :DDD I'm just really happy about that .w. You can move on now :)

I love when do these type of videos with Shaaba, your reactions together are priceless 😆

I was thinking to myself: "huh, I wonder when Jamie finally learned these things about female anatomy" and then I remembered 😂😂

I still remember when I was in middle school and I had to explain my classmate who already had some sexual life that we have three holes down there. She was so confused, lol.

You are doing so well and I'm so proud of you. I know you can overcome all your struggles, you are so strong and brave. You are such a amazing person and you all loved by so many people. Keep being your amazing self.

and I was OOp and they were like OOP and I was like bleh and they were like bleh (3:33) had me dying

The third pic (of the dress) is actually an Edwardian piece. The thin waist was the “style” of the time. This look was often achieved through corsets (rarely tight laced) and padding. In the drawing, the unrealistically small waist was probably less not understanding anatomy and more exaggerating the popular style. Still not an actuate depiction though, just a fun piece of trivia :)

Ooh a background bi-octopus. Nice

Apparently I’m a squid who cries ink 🦑

Looool my bf literally told me "again?" yesterday. To be fair Im having it twice this month. Periods are wild.

please keep making videos together, you guys are so cute and it makes me so happy to see you guys doing videos together!! you make me smile so much :)

i am a simple person. i see shaaba, i click

I'm transmasc pre-T and I definitely am against of myself experiencing periods, wish that was enough to make those go away 😤

Shaaba is SO cute and really made this video extra delightful!! you two are so wonderful!!

I love it when they do videos together! They're so sweet!

Shaaba your hair is especially beautiful today fyi! (or whenever you filmed this haha) Literally my first thought when the video loaded was "omg that hair wow"

We all have/have had, those "I wonder why..." moments. In the past, before google, we used to ask grand-parents, parents, older siblings or friends. If no-one could give us the answer, we used to go to libraries, do research and become informed/educated. Now, the proverb 'ignorance is bliss' doesn't apply to lots of people. They're arrogantly angry in their ignorance.

Hey thanks for your vids, also I love when Helena shows up you guys are adorable !

I'm pretty against my own periods. I wish they never happened. I would be so much richer!

loved the "u do you boo" part

Yeah, I’m against periods too, take mine away, please. I tried to cancel my subscription to it, but it just won’t work u_u

You two just give me such joy. You just look so happy when together and it is a joy to watch

2:05 "Where do organs go?" It's so obvious, they go into the arms 🙄

You should check out some of the art on the older Marvel comics, the anatomy for both men and women is wildly inaccurate

I'm so happy that you made a second one of these, Jamie! I find them so funny and I love hearing your voice, especially how gentle and funny you are when laughing at ignorance. Thank you for breathing, my wonderful man.

I love it when you do videos with her, you two have such a great dynamic! Please do it more often!

I love these videos, I’m so glad you made another, please keep making them, they’re so funny! And btw, you both are amazing! ❤️

Yay! I just found I’m trans so I’m very happy for a new video 😁😁.

Tbf, I'm both for and against periods as someone that experiences them.

I'd disagree on the "don't explain people's anatomy to them if you don't have it" Plenty of people don't know about many aspects of their anatomy (not only when it comes to vulvas). You don't need to have the body part to study it. Just, in general, don't try to explain stuff to people if you don't have a good reason to believe you're more educated on the topic. And try google every once in a while

You two are so amazing and positive as these subreddits are just "ERRRGGGH!" Thank you!
