Before the male gaze, women have many strange customs, which they cannot understand. They may believe that most things are explained only “because we are women.”
Actually, everything has a reason. Many of the things that women do are related to the society in which we live, with gender patterns, and, in general, with everything that is established.
Understanding why we do what we do is a good way to rethink the role of women and men in society. So here’s a list of 7 things women do that men will never understand, but have an explanation.
1. Carry a well-loaded bag
First of all, fashion designers are very cool with making pants with miniature pockets (if they have pockets at all). So the bag is necessary to carry basic things, such as mobile, money and keys.
But in addition, women are supposed to always be ready for any eventuality, so it is also common to find: makeup, compresses, creams, perfume, first-aid kit… and much more.
A woman’s bag represents all the facets that she is socially expected to have: to be beautiful, professional, mother, etc.
2. Carry several changes of clothes
In addition to all of the above, it is not uncommon for a woman to have a change of clothes on her. Unfortunately, a woman is always judged by how she dresses.
You can have the t-shirt with a neckline to go out, but never to walk alone down the street because women suffer from a fear that only we know well. Even if we get excited, more than one can even think that we are “provoking” a sexual attack. Isn’t that illogical to you?
3. Go to the bathroom in two
This has several explanations. On the one hand, there is the question of practicality: your partner holds your things, while you do yours.
But it may also have to do with feeling safer, since the bathroom in a public place is a place that can be dangerous.
4. Taking off their bra as soon as they get home
The reality is that no girl likes to wear a bra. The most natural thing is not to want to wear it, but as it is established that it should be so, getting home is like taking a huge weight off your shoulders.
5. Have thousands of beauty products
Women care about always looking impeccable, in general more than men. In part, too, because they pay more attention to them. The ideal that they impose on us is that women should have a “good presence”, look young, and, of course, thin.
So it’s no wonder women have more beauty products than any man.
6. Be multitasking
Apparently, women have the ability to do a thousand things at the same time. Men are often surprised at this apparent “magical” ability.
The truth is that it is a skill that is developed, because women are required to occupy more than one role at the same time. You can be professional, but you should also be a housewife, mother, lover, and look amazing.
Faced with so much demand, multitasking is the only possible way out (although not necessarily the healthiest).
7.Lying when a man gets heavyeither
In bars or clubs, sometimes men become insistent wanting to flirt with a woman.
As they do not usually accept a simple “no” for an answer, women always have one trick up their sleeve: to say that we are in a relationship. It is usually the most effective tool to get rid of a man, because unfortunately a supposed boyfriend is more respected than the woman’s desire.
