Strange things women do/have/endure - That guys wouldn’t know about

[Susanna]

Women have a larger corpus callosum which is the part that connects the left and right side of the brain. It's believed that this is why women are better at multi tasking. Makes sense when it comes to child rearing and housekeeping.

It’s also pretty obvious when you look at historical living, for example how cloth was made before the industrial revolution. Women would “spin” by drawing fibres from a wad of wool or linen, tied off to a spindle. Keep the spindle revolving and slowly feed it wool to laboriously make a single thread, then every now and then tie up the spun thread to the spindle when it gets too long. Because the process is so slow you’d basically just carry a wad of wool and the spindle with you everywhere and spin in between chores, or any time you’re otherwise idle, making you productive the entire day. It’s Stone Age tech we used all the way up to the modern era, and something that pretty much requires you to be a good multitasker, actively focusing on using a drop spindle would be murderously boring.

Women are more skilled at multitasking than men. Women also have a higher pain tolerance and can perceive more nuance in color than men.

I literally cannot get anything done unless I am multitasking. If I just focus on a single thing it drags on forever. But if I do multiple things I get them done in a timely manner. Otherwise the slack is incredible and you'd think I was way too lazy.

Men will never notice that those blacks don't match or that shade of blue is a little off and clashes with the whole decor. My clothes need to be coordinated properly and I can't just throw anything on because it's clean.

Also, women listen. Men don't listen. They say they heard you but they didn't. Then an hour later they have no idea what you told them and what you wanted them to do. But it's your fault because you didn't tell them. But you did. Literally all they heard was "Are you listening?". They'd probably say yes if you asked if they were on fire.

Woman have a greater tendency towards tetrachromatic vision (it’s possible for men to have it but far less likely), meaning that quite literally we physically see differences in shades of color that are unable to be seen by men.

It’s thought that this probably goes back to hunter-gatherer days so we could detect the right berries to eat and not poison the whole family.

I think you're mistaking not listening for not caring.

Even non-tetrachromate women can see certain shades better. That's why men think we're gaslighting them when we point out that two reds are different reds.

i really don't like how "ten years and younger" is the third most common answer, especially since i was first creeped on by a guy when i was in fifth grade. i can't fathom wanting to do anything with a person younger than twenty let alone a goddamn child who isn't old enough to understand things like romance and sex, and yet for some reason el society doesn't care about how common this is until millions speak out against the trend and make too much noise to be ignored.

I just can't imagine the brass balls of a pervert sexually harassing a 10 year old in the open. Another touching grass picture of what 10 year olds look like:

Either something about the last 30 years (internet porn??) has completely destroyed men's brains, or men were always like this, and both answers make me a doomer. Goddamn it I hate this world.

Women are very good at playing videogames the wrong way. They are also very good at using the Internet the wrong way

We have to deal with retarded "women suck and we hate them, amirite fellas?" hUmOuR every single day since the dawn of time.

I wasn't joking or intending any offense lol. I'm serious.

I can tell you at least it wasn't just the last 30 years. Most women I know have a story about being either just on the cusp of puberty, or just starting, and having their "Uh oh" moment at that time.
What gets me, though, is that the stories I heard from my aunts and such were always "I was at the pool and someone tried to touch me" or "I was walking down the road and a man asked 'How much?'", something that happened in a public space. Now with internet coombrains + internet access, I seriously wonder how many girls will have that moment online, and how that will affect their perception of the internet vs the real world.

On a slightly tangential topic, has anyone else noticed zoomers using "I'm a child" as a way to protect themselves? I see a lot of jokes about "She was 17 and 364 days old" these days, but the flipside of that are things like clips on YouTube and TikTok of girls doing some variation of "I'm not 18" or "I'm underage" to scare men away online. The psychology of that concerns me, because not only does it have a time limit, but if they think that's an actual defense, they're unprepared for the real world.

Apparently most guys don't know that periods aren't fully regular? I assumed it was common knowledge, since it's a biological process.
They come whenever the hell they please, and in borderline random severity

Women will never know the pain of a man waiting on a woman to finish getting dressed so they can leave together

I am always the one telling my boyfriend that we need to leave 30 minutes earlier than we actually do, and leaving his ass behind if its 5 mins past time to go. This isnt a sex thing its a time management thing

It does take longer for women to get ready, there’s just more to do. But we also know that it takes longer, and will try to start in advance. So when it’s time to leave we’re already done and instead have to wait a few minutes for the men to pull a comb through their hair.

Is that true, or is that a gag? 'Cause mine were nearly random and now it turns out I've got a disorder of some kind. If yours are random, maybe you should ask your doctor about it?

I swear to God, with my ex, if we had to leave at 6:30 I'd start getting ready at 5:30 and be ready to go at 6:15, meanwhile he'd be sitting around doing nothing until 6:20. Drove me insane.

I'm not sure what gag means, and I wouldn't say they're totally random but they do vary in severity and sometimes (I'm talking maybe once a year at most) my body just decides to slam me all at once with the most grotesquely heavy flow and brutal contractions, and then it's all back to normal for a while after. As far as timing goes, it's usually not too far from regular, but I've had so many friends tell me about their boyfriends asking for exact future dates, as if they think it's the 17th of every month or some shit.

 

[Emo Supremo]

i know it's generally meant well but damn i wish i could pull over by the side of the road to take pictures of wildflowers or relax for a moment or whatever without a guy stopping to ask if i'm okay. like shit dude if i need help i can just text/call someone. it's not the fifties and stranger danger doesn't stop applying once you're an adult.

A gag means a joke. This thread started with some jokes like squeaky bras and such.

Thread tax:

1. It is an impossibility for a woman to, if a garment has pockets, not bring this fact up
   • However she will still use her purse for everything a man would put in those pockets on a similar garment
   • If she does put something in those pockets, such things will not be found again until the garment has already been put through a wash cycle
2. Women can become contortionists at will, but only to shave the awkward parts of their legs
   • This does not apply to men who shave their legs, who will walk around oblivious to the fact they have hair on the outside of the back of their knees
3. Not having balls to store pee in, a woman has no other option but to piss herself when she needs to go
