    alright i am just genuinely curious,

    doesn't anybody find this stuff a bit inappropriate, or somewhat uncomfortable, or should i say taboo? This is biology , and i know some people here are might be middle schoolers and high schoolers, shouldn't be more less inappropriate terms to describe parts of a plant.

    TBH this guy is demonstrating what a "gender" is and how they work and what happens when you put them together. In addition, this guy just ruined the beauty of flowers, calling them "bisexual" or "unisexual". I know there should be better terms to describe the parts of flower.

    again i am genuinely curious if anyone is discomforted after watching that

      I mean, idk how old you are and stuff but you'll get used to it bro. This stuff is normal, the older and more mature you get, you will come to realize that these are normal functions of life, this is just how life keeps continuing. You and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for these functions of life.
