Watch: We asked men to draw vaginas — and it proved an important point about women’s rights

If men don’t know basic facts about a woman’s body, how can they legislate it?

Sounds simple enough, and yet this message continues to fall on deaf ears in Congress, where the overwhelming majority of elected officials remain white and male.

To illustrate why this is actually a really serious problem, we decided to conduct a special experiment, asking men from Mic to do one simple thing: Draw a vagina. The goal? To see how much educated men really know about women’s bodies. The result?

It went about as badly as you might have imagined.
