Mrs. Miller and I are in a spirited discussion. The subject isn’t important.

The question at hand is why mansplaining is a thing and womensplaining is not.

Your thoughts?

We just can’t go there - they still haven’t forgiven us for “chickparking”.

If you think looting is bad wait until I tell you about civil forfeiture.

I have known of this conundrum for many years.

Her: I went shopping

He: How much did you spend?

Her: Well, first I went to ..... then I .... and they had this ..... and the parking was sooo bad..... etcetera, etcetera etcetera ad infinitum.

He: All very nice. How much did you spend?

Her: This >>>. was 50% off! And the ......s I bought were on deep sale and I had a coupon, so I saved $..... etcetera, etcetera etcetera ad infinitum.

He: Good discounts. How much did you spend?

They: Repeat until anger or boredom set in.

Eventually you just learn to check the credit cards online.

I would like to point out that the only people who have attempted to explain "womensplaining" are men. Big Grin Big Grin

I sometimes am so lost...never heard of either. If it has to do with M's post...why would a woman have to 'splain' how she spent HER money? ;-)

Yup.

(We have a new dishwasher. It’s not as intuitive to load as the old one. Which Mr. AM couldn’t load properly, either. It’s all about the Tetris.)

WTF is chickparking?

We have the worst most stupidest dishwasher ever - it is impossible to load. Nothing fits right. Why is it that so many people put POS dishwashers in nice houses?

the dishwasher is great--it, um, washes the dishes!

But none of our plates fit in the carpy racks
