"My suggestion... the wonders of a woman's cycle beyond demonised PMS.;-) "
Yes! Being in tune with my cycle has helped me realise when I'm far more productively minded, when I should be kinder to myself etc.
I would like to ladysplain jealousy/similar things to that. Too often it's a lazy reply to how a woman is feeling - when actually it's far more nuanced and used as an umbrella term for other feelings. |

"Isn't ladysplaining like, "be careful dear fellow, you may not be as knowledgeable as me, but testicles are apparently sensitive. You might not want to hit them. Trust me, I'm smarter than you""
I was hoping we could put more useful spin/meaning to it. Rather than explain what they know.  |

At least you take the time to splain and give fair warning  |

This 100%
It would be explaining a man's job to him despite having no experience in his field of expertise. |

"Could someone explain how you can stand to be waxed where it really hurts but can’t take a spider out of the bath ? "
I can flash the spider. Sorry spider lovers. As for wax. Well.. you can work around that sensation! I used to like when my waxer would blow gently on me after putting some wax on and realising its slightly too warm |

Ladysplaining is very succint and useful.
Men don't often realise how easy and quick it should be to completely redecorate the house and do it without making any mess or the paint smelling.

I would like to believe that is changing as we all change our attitudes on parenting comparing to previous generations.
When I supported new families I would always encourage partners to be involved, "mother the mother", try skin to skin with a baby, etc. And not everyone is natural at this (I don't think for the record I was
a natural mother) but they learn with some willingness. |

That’s one of the blissful things about living alone - everything is where you left it, you don’t have to re-stack the dishwasher or the cupboards and if you don’t want to watch sport on tv you can binge watch whatever you choose. |

Would the actual location of one's vagina, it's inability to grow hair or be tattoed be ladysplaining?
How about giving a man directions to a location?

How to shop properly.
It's not grab a trolley and run around the shop as quickly as possible, picking up apple pies, cheesecake, ice cream and biscuits as you tear around the aisles.
Yes, brussel sprouts are important, as is cabbage and fruit dear.

I reckon this goes under strategic long term diary planning and having "to say" list of things needed to be ticked off when rare opportunity arises and someone communicates/hopefully listens. |

My Dad was a brilliant Father - quite strict about being well behaved, truthful and respectful but kind, very loving and happy to make time for his children and wife outside of work. He was born in 1924. |

No, they assumed that periods could be controlled like urinary incontinence and decided to shame women for it.
Dear women this is how menstruation works and why you're disgusting.
I don't know what the alternative is.

Just some ladysplaining;-)
Possible explanations.
Arranging a game of golf whilst there are things to do might be affecting the well organised diary of the household by the lady in question.
Passing a salt - he is speaking speaking me, not looking at his phone.. quick grab an opportunity to say everything I can!

"Would the actual location of one's vagina, it's inability to grow hair or be tattoed be ladysplaining?
How about giving a man directions to a location?
What about the old "all women are different sonny" mantra?
Ooh I remember one example of mansplaining that blew up.
"Women are so disgusting needing sanitary products. They should hold it like men hold their pee!""
That made me laugh out loud |

"Isn't ladysplaining like, "be careful dear fellow, you may not be as knowledgeable as me, but testicles are apparently sensitive. You might not want to hit them. Trust me, I'm smarter than you"
This 100%
It would be explaining a man's job to him despite having no experience in his field of expertise.
Explaining to a gynaecologist where the clit is...
I think ladysplaining happens quite a bit in parenting because "men are unemotional brutes with no idea how to bond with a baby".
I would like to believe that is changing as we all change our attitudes on parenting comparing to previous generations.
When I supported new families I would always encourage partners to be involved, "mother the mother", try skin to skin with a baby, etc. And not everyone is natural at this (I don't think for the record I was
a natural mother) but they learn with some willingness.
My Dad was a brilliant Father - quite strict about being well behaved, truthful and respectful but kind, very loving and happy to make time for his children and wife outside of work. He was born in 1924."
That's lovely. My grandparents were a good team too (1932 & 1936) ..

And as a side note. I hope it didn't come across as an unfair generalisation. Just poking different thoughts on the topic. |
