Things you don't say to your wife
Here is a funny clip on the things you shouldn't say to your wife.
While searching for articles or video clips to post on this blog, I came across many articles explaining how women communicate to men and giving men advice on communication with women. Most articles and videos bring humour into the topic of gender miscommunication and make fun of the way women communicate, with a tendency to protray women as psychotic, emotional beings who never say what they mean. While this lightens up the mood on a serious topic, I do feel that these portrayals are a little extreme at times, although they are often true. As a female, I find these portrayals of women funny, but also alternate between feeling guilty of such 'crazy' behaviour and offended at the way women use communication is ridiculed.
I also find it interesting that much relationship advice on communication in the popular media always focuses on how men should be more caring and sensitive to what women really mean when they communicate. Personally, I feel that it takes two hands to clap, and that both genders should learn how to interpret each other and communicate such that the other gender can easily understand what they really mean.

Good one . I think most of the clips/articles pertaining to gender conflicts do tend to use humor and irony to put forward their main ideas. I especially liked the irony of created by combining the song ‘time of your life’ and the list of things you should not tell your wife. I do agree with you on relationship advice of the popular media. They tend to give a list of things you should and should not do, which makes me feel like they are trying to write a manual for human emotions.
