I’ve been reading through the Sex and Society advice over at Pravda.ru recently. And a few of the articles there have left me asking “Just what was the point of writing that?”
The translation isn’t too amazing, however it is understandable, although unfortunately I don’t have the time to correct it properly. Anyway, see what you think… The Russians point out:
It is generally believed that the difference between men and women is enormous. Women and men differ in almost every imaginable aspect of human life, especially when it comes to psychology.
- A woman does not have a man’s habit to scratch her noggin when she thinks of an answer to a confusing question, for example. Women do not like to show they are confused. They never want to ruin their hairdo with that gesture either.
- Women will never understand why footballers stand in a line with their hands crossed before a penalty kick during a match. In addition, women never shudder when a male character gets kicked in the groin in a movie.
- When a woman yawns she covers her mouth with the palm of her hand, not with a fist.
- After taking a bath, a woman grabs a towel and makes a turban on her head from it, at least for one minute. The reasons of such a weird Oriental ritual are unknown.
- A woman does not get mad when her underwear gets stuck between her buttocks. Women joyfully wear those items of torture called bikinis.
- Many women worry about their looks when having sex.
- Women open bottles with bottle openers.
- A woman feels awkward if she does not carry anything in her hands. That is why they always carry their handbags around.
- Women are absolutely indifferent to their genitals; they hardly know each other. Women do not talk to them, they do not give funny nicknames to them and they never get angry with them.
- Sitting down in public transportation, women keep their legs together. That is why men often prefer to sit next to a woman because in this case they can sit spread-eagle.
- If a woman finds her fly unzipped in a public place, she does not seem to care too much about it.
- When a woman dresses up to go out, she puts on a blouse first. Pants come second. Men work it vice versa.
- Finally, when an act of love ends, women do not feel like sleeping. They feel like talking and kissing.
