Using a clever definition... Women have more bones inside their bodies than men during sex.

Yes but men wake up with one more bone than women every morning

That's why instead of saying abortion we should just say she's going on a bone cleanse.

When I was a kid, I thought that men had one less rib than women because the making of Eve in the Bible.

In school a guy once tried to tell me that women have more bones than men because they have two tit bones, and men only have one dick bone.

This should be the defacto example that the entirety of the Bible is symbolic and should never be taken literally. Rib might actually mean dna, but the languages through time had no word for it.

My biggest issue with the story is that even in a symbolical sense it doesn't make sense, since every human being starts out as a female embryo (kind of) and so you'd think that god would switch the roles in the Adam and Eve story to emphasize this incredible fact.

I was 100% sure this was going to end with "when they go out with me" or something along those lines.

You could have made this more interesting by not saying it like this but instead saying "on average women have more bones than men"

Presumably women also have an additional bone inside when getting pregnant as well

Okay, well, imagine calling a pregnant woman "four eyes".

I highly recommend you do not do that.

How many bones do men have while they're pregnant? It must be hard to answer since it's so rare.

My favorite theory is that God took Adam’s dick bone to make Eve. And that’s why humans don’t have a rod in their schlong anymore like most mammals do.

Yeah but men have a magical bone. They can turn one bone into a lot of bones.

I read this as women have more bones than pregnant men. And even the half second it took my brain to correct this was a half second too much for my liking.

I guess women have more dicks than men when they're pregnant w twin boys?

SingleSpeed27 t1_j9y4jwk wrote

Isn’t it also when they are not pregnant? Like they have one more bone at least

I would say that pregnant women have more brains than men, but that’s already true for women who aren’t pregnant so

It makes me wonder what other differences there are between men and women's bodies that we haven't yet discovered. Thanks for sharing this fascinating tidbit

Sometimes such things just makes me feel so good lol, but look at the comments here people are making illogical joke about women need one extra bone to get pregnant, that's not even a bone.

To be fair, have you ever looked at dental x-rays of kids before they start losing their teeth? It's straight out of a horror film. Those little $#!+$ have jaws like sharks. It's completely horrifying.

Bone tissue in fetuses are hardly considered bones at that stage. They are more of a suggestion than anything.
