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

[Mandy Stroyer]

Any other ladies here ever had to babysit kids whose father was home? Not working in the home office, not recovering from an illness or injury, literally just sitting in his room watching TV and napping. This has been on my mind recently, though it happened over a decade ago when I was a preteen. The mother didn't mention he was home and I only found out when he came downstairs to get lunch I made (for the kids).

I used to think that getting catcalled by strangers would stop once I hit my 30s. Turns out, there are Moids who still catcall at middle aged women.

It is annoying.

Especially when they cat call from their trucks while speeding.

Apparently many ladies of a certain age can't sneeze, cough, laugh too hard or take a sharp bump in the road without letting out a little bit of wee. On a similarly yellow note, on more than one occasion while hanging out with my girl friends, one has gotten up saying she's just going to have a wee and another girl has said "have one for me as well", which leads me to believe the female of the species is in possession of some sort of telediuretic magic.

I’m guessing because they struggle with being accepted, so they try to regurgitate all of themselves all at once to see if someone will accept them.

Can you at least @ me the next time you read me to absolute filth (what's the polar opposite of the sassy nails emoji?)

Probably the emoji because while the nail emoji projects superiority, this projects subservience. What absolute filth was I reading you to?

Also I just found out to tonight when talking to my girl that women have special disposable bras that are like stickers so their bra strap doesn’t show on their shoulders or back when wearing dresses. Not pasties, but two like two rubber kippas attached to eachother with a sticky end that go on the boobies. I feel like these would be hard to put on and hurt to take off.

I dont know whom else to ask but quite a few of my gal pals complain about how annoying it is to still have to take your makeup off after a night out and when I asked them why they don't just do it in the morning, they told me keeping it on is bad for your skin. Is this actually true?

It gets on your fucking bed too if you don't sleep on your back

I will forever think of it as a tiny jew hat for the breast, thank you

Some things my husband said women seem to mostly do:
-Be obsessed with restoration, specifically destroying kitchens.
-collect cat whiskers/bird feathers and keep them
-hoard makeup we will never use
-hoard art supplies if artist (apparently guy artists don't as much??)
-love true crime (true)
-obsessed with gorey, tragic cases or scenes.

I am a prolific oversharer and you really made me consider the root of that issue, and that maybe "I'm jUsT an OpEn b0oK! " is actually not a positive personality trait

collect bird feathers and keep them

If you happen to have a large fancy parrot like a macaw or an amazon, the feathers sell pretty good on ebay tho.

-hoard makeup we will never use

Nah just a cockatiel, though he had very pretty feathers, they wouldn't be worth much.
And no, lmao.

What, you want me to stop breathing, too?

It concerns me how otherwise normal women obsess over true crime and serial killers. Can someone explain it to me why? Is it like the female equivalent of wanting a goth mommy? Where you know it’s toxic but lust after it anyway

At least in my personal life I've never met a normal woman into either of those, they were all raging pick mes who based their entire lives off worshipping the lowest men imaginable

How do I explain it... it satisfies the mind games aspect, even if the woman doesn't really do that irl. True crime is fascinating and we like complex stories that are like a mental puzzle to figure out why, it also scratches the itch for drama and gossip, again, without the woman even being the type to do either. I suggest watching it and seeing for yourself. EWU on yt is pretty entertaining. You can go to the body cam one to ease into it before you watch full on documentaries. There's more action and drama in body cams that probably scratches an itch for men with violence/revenge when a pedo gets mercilessly beat.

But for the "formula" aspect of the true crime stuff, it goes "suspense+drama×motive/evidence×mystery=conclusion"

 

[lego racers]

maybe it's just me, but i haven't noticed the true crime fascination as being particular to women. i see a lot of people say it's so, but i've never gotten that impression, personally or generally.

Let's not just repeat the myths we heard in high school.

Like @Flaming_Barghast explained, it's just a detective story, but real. At least that's for me, I love whodunnits.

and serial killers

Meh, it's not about the killers themselves, but what steps they took and how they got caught. The bulk of my consumption is one-off cases where they tried to execute some ridiculous plot over money, an affair or something and end up getting caught.

They like the thrill of a good story and thinking they can spot bad actors IRL. It's also glorified, high octane gossip in many ways. Not much different from following the arcs and pathologies of lolcows. Everyone I know who's into it likes playing psychoanalyst and following live court cases for the gossip.

There's a more malignant side to the true crime fandom that has terrible optics, conspiratorial designs, and roots for the underdog (see: anything to do with the West Memphis Three), but it's not exclusive to women.

I just meant IRL, I swear!
It would appear that things are different on the internet

-collect cat whiskers/bird feathers and keep them

When the technology advances, they can have their Best Cat Ever cloned, just in case any better never appears on itself. Or when a virus drives some birds species extinct, it can be later revived thanks to their help, with a wider genetic base.
