- Really?
- I don't want it to be true, but I also want to win.
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Destiny and I'm the adult.
- Hi, I'm Jaelen and I'm the teen.
- Today, we are playing a game of true or false,
women's health facts.
- I feel like I know approximately 50% of being a woman.
I'm very young, so.
(both laugh)
- I think I know a lot about women's health
just 'cause I am an adult.
Like you learn more things every day about your body
and what women go through and what you're going
to go through the older you get and things like that,
so I feel pretty confident.
- The woman's health talks in school
were more about sex education and like don't get pregnant.
I don't think it was based more on actual health.
- A lot of early education I can remember is like sex ed,
and it was mainly about the man,
like this is a condom, this is how you use,
like it never about a woman, this is your body,
this is what it does.
I usually just Google things, I'm like,
"Is this normal, is this okay, am I okay?"
- So I heard this is a competition and I don't lose,
so I feel like I'm gonna win.
- Okay.
(laughs)
All right, let's get this competition started.
- Yay.
(both laugh)
- Researchers believe that alcohol
can impact the menstrual cycle
by heightening estrogen and testosterone levels,
according to a 2002 study.
So like alcohol can affect your period?
- What does it do to you?
- When your estrogen is heightened,
I feel like certain symptom or certain things are like.
- Yeah.
- Out of whack?
- But I don't know.
- But I don't know, but then alcohol affects everything,
I feel like. (laughs) - Yeah! (laughs)
I feel like it's false because alcohol should affect blood,
not hormones.
(drum roll)
(dings)
(both laugh)
- I knew it!
Alcohol ruins your life, yes.
(both laugh)
Adult men are at a higher risk of allergies, asthma,
and autoimmune disease than women.
- I do feel like I know more men in my life
that have allergies.
- Really, I feel like I know more women who have allergies.
I feel like maybe it's women
because I'm a woman and I notice hearing more things
about women who are having diseases or things,
and women, I don't know,
we always get the short end of the stick, I feel like.
- I really want to win.
(both laugh) (dramatic music)
(drum roll)
(buzzer)
- Wow, (laughs) wow.
- Wow.
- I really thought I had that, to be honest.
- Same. - I like how you were like
on the right track. - I know,
I was on the right track, and then I was like,
"No, that has to be a trick question."
So I was right.
- A 2016 survey conducted at the University of Chicago
and released by Planned Parenthood
found that only 27% of women and 19% of men
agreed that consent is required
at each step of sexual encounter.
I feel like that's scary, also.
- It is scary!
It's like alarming, that's alarming.
- Yeah.
People don't understand it or they're not informed.
Also, I feel like a lot of people don't know
that there's different steps.
- I went to a school that was super,
everyone was hooking up and it was like a party school,
and I heard a lot of women say, you know,
I just did it because he wouldn't leave me alone.
That kind of comes into the conversation of consent,
I don't know, like.
- Yeah, I'm just gonna guess.
- Same.
(drum roll)
(dings)
- [Destiny] Really? - I don't want it to be true,
but I also want to win. (laughs)
- I don't know, I just thought that that percentage
would be higher for women.
27% is not a lot.
- Yeah.
- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
believe that as many of 50% of women
with fertility problems may have endometriosis.
- I have no idea what.
- Endometriosis is? - Yeah.
- So endometriosis is a condition
where the tissues that normally grow inside the uterus
grow outside of the uterus,
and I know it causes a lot of women
to have really bad cramps and just really bad period pain
and things like that.
So that sounds totally believable to me,
just because the symptoms that come with endometriosis
and a lot of women I know who've experienced it,
it just sounds like a hellish experience
and I'm sure dealing with tissues
and things around the uterus may contribute
to carrying a baby, it kind of makes sense.
- [Jaelen] Yeah.
(drum roll)
(dings)
- [Both] Ah, wow.
(both groan)
- That's really unfortunate.
- [Jaelen] You can get pregnant
when you're already pregnant. (laughs)
- Uh. (laughs)
- Technically, I saw something that this lady
had two uterus.
So, if you do have two, then you could get pregnant in one
and then get pregnant in the other one after.
- But I saw on a reality TV show,
this one lady. - (laughs) Oh my god.
- This one lady had twins and they each had a different dad.
Because she had been with someone,
and then got with someone else immediately after, same time.
But then you're not technically pregnant at that point,
I don't know.
- Yeah, I'm scared.
(both laugh)
- Don't be scared.
(drum roll)
(dings)
- That's shocking.
Like it's cool 'cause a woman's body can do cool stuff.
- Yeah.
- But like wow,
could you imagine being pregnant and you're like,
"Oh, there's another one."
Some research suggests drinking large quantities of caffeine
might increase the risk of miscarriage.
I'm no doctor, but I've heard that women can have coffee
while they're pregnant,
like one cup a day or something like that.
Most miscarriages happen in the early stages,
so I don't know if that's like a,
in that first couple months, no coffee,
and then. - Yeah.
I feel like part of me thinks
that caffeine obviously affects you somehow.
- It's not like alcohol,
or something like poisonous, but I don't know.
(drum roll)
(dings)
Wow, caffeine does come in energy drink form,
I forgot about that. - Oh, that's true.
- It's not just coffee.
- And technically a baby could be addicted
to caffeine. - To caffeine, yeah.
- As of 2015, the average age
of first-time mothers in the US is 26.4 years old.
I mean, it depends.
I feel like it's definitely
people are having kids older now.
- I feel like it's a mix.
- Yeah, also like the point four makes a difference.
- I don't know, 26 seems kinda high?
(drum roll)
(dings)
Well, dang!
- I feel like it's gonna keep going up.
- Up, yeah, same. - For sure.
- The US has the third highest teenage pregnancy rates
of any industrialized country.
I mean, if I compare us to Canada or Sweden, you know?
I'm a little concerned.
But also, who's first and second?
Real tea. (laughs)
- I feel like honestly, if we're the third,
I can't think of the top two,
so I would think we're the first.
(drum roll)
(buzzer)
I'm like ashamed of that.
- I don't know if I should be proud of like,
yes, we're the first! - We're first, yeah!
- And then like okay, maybe not.
- Yeah, that's not the cutest fact.
- A BRCA1 mutation can increase a woman's chance
of breast cancer up to 65% and ovarian cancer up to 39%.
I feel like these percentages are not as high.
- I've never heard of this before, like ever.
- People that have this mutation
usually get their breasts removed,
so I feel like there's probably more
of a higher correlation?
(drum rolls)
(dings)
- I didn't know about that gene,
but it's still crazy to know that
something that can be passed down like that,
like that's a really high percentage.
There are several ways to confirm
a diagnosis of endometriosis
including ultrasounds and testing menstrual blood.
- That seems right to me.
- Yeah, I think so.
I don't know how else you would test it,
or like try to figure it out.
(drum rolls)
(buzzer)
You have to have surgery just to find out?
- And you can't even cure it.
- They need new ways.
- Yeah, I feel like in this time and age,
there should be new ways.
Some studies have shown that testosterone in men
may help them tolerate higher levels of pain,
dampening the activity of pain receptors.
I think that's a lie.
I feel like women can handle so much more pain,
to be honest.
- That is so true.
- Dampening the activity of pain receptors.
I don't feel like hormones are suppressors.
- [Producer] So you've got to think
who this question is aimed at and what the quiz is about.
- In men.
- Yeah.
- And this is about woman health.
(whistle blows)
(all laugh)
- I have my answer.
- No, I don't have my answer! - I think I'm ready.
- I don't know how to read. (laughs)
(drum rolls)
(buzzer)
Oh, see, we knew that!
We knew that. - Yes, yes, yes, yes.
We did know that women can handle higher pain, but men?
- I was also confused, I was like,
"Why is this question not about women?"
Okay, whatever.
- My head hurts.
(both laugh)
- I think I have a passing grade.
Um. (laughs)
- A passing grade?
- I feel like there was a lot of things
that I had no idea about.
- Same, same.
I think I did okay,
but I think a lot of the statistical questions
and percentage questions, I had no idea.
I definitely learned a lot.
- Honestly, she got a lot right, so I'm like,
kinda concerned. - I feel like I didn't
get any right.
- Yeah, but I feel like I got more right in a row,
so that's why it felt like it?
- Oh, that's true.
- But then I stopped.
(cheers and applause)
I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm leaving.
(both laugh)
- Goodbye.
- I just want to say we're both winners.
- [Destiny] We're both right.
- Well-played.
- Yes, it was well-played, we did it.
We're both educated, smart women
and we both learned something today,
a lot of things today. - We definitely did,
we definitely did.
