    A condescension in which men have traditionally excelled, hence its association with men.

      I think you may need some more experience with women. :)

      Really, all this gender bickering is so infantile. We are mostly the same, but have different strengths and weaknesses. Guys are better at some things, worse at others, in general.

      Women are not some flawless creature ok? You will see with time if you haven’t. :) Only in teenage Hollywood movies are they there as some form of meaning of life, and I guess it feels like that at that age.

        Huh? I just meant that men have a tendency to explain things rather patronizingly and longwindedly to women. I said nothing about women being perfect.

        And of course not all men all the time etc. But it happens.

          Yeah ok, I just meant to say that I know many woman who explain things to their husband’s as if they are idiots, and they make no attempt at hiding that they think they are idiots. :)

          Haven’t you had that in your life? Women will not hold back what they think. :)

      Oh so you’re saying women can’t be as condescending as men? That is sexist! Women can do anything men can do just as well.
