In her VERY SLIGHT defense, I don't remember that ever coming up in sex ed, and I had a pretty comprehensive class. But I think most of us were paying attention to how not to get pregnant. Which isn't usually the reason to have a hysterectomy, although it would certainly take care of that.

That said ... it isn't exactly ... a logical position to hold, unless she came from an area where the quality of medical care is extremely unfortunate and she made some kind of analogy to a fistula. Which is unlikely based on your report here. XD;
