Admittedly, I'm not a great writer, but I do have an idea for a post that I think should be written - by someone much more articulate than myself.

The Topic Is This:

You often have to "explain" stuff you've said to women because often times they don't understand, or choose to ignore, the context of the situation.

It's happened to all of us (especially in BP days), or we've all seen it in movies.. Man says something to woman that isn't meant to be offensive, or is meant to be a joke, but she ignores the context of the moment and gets offended anyway. She chooses to take what you've said an interpret it in the way that will most offend her, and interpret it COMPLETELY at face value, rather than take note of the context and adhere to it accordingly. Woman gets pissed. Man ends up apologizing endlessly and has to explain in detail what just happened so she'll understand. He has to explain that context matters and that if she just paid attention to the context of the moment, that she would see from his point of view and understand.

Now this is just an idea, and one that has been touched on here, in fact I think I remember at one point reading a post titled "Women don't understand context" (or something along those lines), but I haven't been able to find it - and I do feel like it deserves elaboration on this sub.

If anyone would be willing to write out a post on the main sub pertaining to this topic, I'd really appreciate it, and I'm sure many others would too.
