JUST READ THIS FROM AN ENGLISH NEWSPAPER ARTICLE: (Its original topic was about the Men are from Mars, Woman from Venus idea)
In the village of Gapun in Papua New Guinea, when a woman is annoyed with her husband, she swears at him for 45 minutes, at the top of her voice so the neighbours catch every nuance. During this “kros” — the word means “angry” — the target is not allowed to answer back, nor may anyone interrupt until she's given her feelings full expression.
And what expression it is. The anthropologist Don Kulick recorded a typical kros: “You're a ****ing rubbish man. You hear? Your ****ing ***** is full of maggots. You're a big ****ing semen *****. Stone balls! ...****ing *****! You *****ing mother's ****!”
When the flowers of English womanhood carry on like this — at closing time on Friday night in Ipswich, say — they're thought to be behaving laddishly. When the housewives of Gapun turn the air blue, however, they are only doing what comes naturally to a woman. The village men, apparently, pride themselves on their ability to conceal their opinions and express themselves indirectly: if they need to get a grievance off their chests, they get their wives to do it for them. In Gapun, women are from Mars, men are from Venus.

I think for some women this has been ever so either from the tribe of another continent or kilburn england, burnley. Unfortunately the men of this country call it nagging because they are not as astute as the tribesmen. Sugar and spice and all things nice, No way, sherlock. back to the drawing board. | |

That explains a lot!! My neighbours must be from Papua New Guinea, as this is an everyday occurence... and as you rightly say, the husband does not say a word!! Heh heh. Lunarsea XX
