Wise people sometimes call relationships or family life a book that two people gradually, page by page, read, gaining new knowledge about the partner, and about themselves as well. But sometimes, when opening a new book, we are surprised to find that it is written in a language we do not know, and the letters are pretty often also incomprehensible...

Yes, that's right - many men admit that before they began to share the same roof with a woman, they had little idea of women's health, psychology and lifestyle. And something that women take for granted became a real revelation for the heroes of this viral thread.

Unfortunately...very very true. My husband is coming to my next consultant appt end of the month. I'm an educated, clear speaking woman with 3 Chronic illnesses...yet I'm being dicked around with substandard meds. Hopefully the presence of an obviously superior being (i.e male ) will help me (pphhffftttt)

    I was 11. It was a boy in my class. I told my (male) teacher about the harassment and he was all, “Oh, that means he likes you!” Like it was a good thing!!

    I was 8 years old when a middle aged man (a complete stranger) just walked up to me and stuck his hand between my legs. On a busy sidewalk in broad daylight. I mostly remember how he looked at me with pure hatred. It made me wonder what I'd done wrong.

    I was 5. My mum's friend's son was babysitting as a favour and tried to convince me I needed to hold his little 'un while he peed as he'd hurt his hand or some such. Despite being so young I remember it quite clearly. Quite proud that I stood in the bathroom arguing the merits of the request and absolutely refused to cooperate.

    I was assaulted at 8 by a woman but I wasn't harassed until I was about 16 when men and women began to either follow me as they eyed me and I had to find places to hide or drunkenly ask me for physical contact and touching me, or commenting on my appearance. Ironically it's been more than half women.

He thought you’d just find them outside.

    She had pumice stones.

    Edit: for those wondering, pumice stones are the bubbly looking rocks that you can use to exfoliate the bottoms of your feet with. They are made when lava hardens super quick. Also they are so filled with holes that they can float in water.
