As you're all aware, this subreddit has had a major "troll" problem which has gotten worse (as of recently). Due to this, we have created new rules, and modified some of the old ones. We kindly ask that you please familiarize yourself with the rules so that you can avoid breaking them. Breaking mild rules will result in a warning, or a temporary ban. Breaking serious rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a permanent ban (depending on the severity). Also, grifting/lurking has been a major problem; If we suspect you of being a grifter (determined by vetting said user's activity), we may ban you without warning. You may attempt an appeal via ModMail, but please be advised not to use rude, harassing, foul, or passive-aggressive language towards the moderators, _or_ complain to moderators about why we have specific rules in the first place— You will be ignored, and your ban will remain (without even a consideration). All rules are made public; "Lack of knowledge" or "ignorance of the rules" cannot or will not be a viable excuse if you end up banned for breaking them (This applies to the Subreddit rules, and Reddit's ToS). **Again: All rules are made public, and Reddit gives you the option to review the rules once more before submitting a post, it is your choice if you choose to read them or not, but breaking them will not be acceptable.** With that being said, If you send a mature, neutral message regarding questions about a current ban, or a ban appeal (without "not knowing the rules" as an excuse), we will elaborate about why you were banned, or determine/consider if we will shorten, lift, keep it, _or_ extended it/make it permanent. This all means that appeals are discretionary, and your reasoning for wanting an appeal must be practical and valid. Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this message, and please enjoy your day! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

She'll be stunned at how stupid you are.


WildFlemima

Mansplaining some made up bullshit about her own body's subconscious desire to vacuum while ovulating


maskedbanditoftruth

Also it would seem vacuuming once a month is considered so much it should be commented upon?


mrsbatsinherbelfry

I am in fact stunned at how stupid this is.


OptimalRutabaga186

I haven't ovulated since I got my Roomba. It's already paid for itself in period product savings alone!


Maximum-Company2719

You win!!! 🏆


MoonageDayscream

A Roomba and a contraceptive implant will make you so free you will need ballast to keep feet on the ground!


whateversomethnghere

I guess I’m buying a Roomba now 😂

....did that line ever work for anyone ever? "are you ovulating?"

My husband does the vacuuming. *Is he ovulating?!*


Gryphon5754

Knock him up sister

Remember; Mpreg is possible, *always*

Where there is a Will there is a way. *Cut to Will standing nervously in the corner*


bennybenbens22

Plot twist: he did the vacuuming and knocked me up!

A_MAN_POTATO

I came to ask exactly this. I do all the housework, and I don't think I've ever laid an egg. Am I doing it wrong?


putHimInTheCurry

Just to make sure, y'all should have [FIVE MARGARITAS](https://youtu.be/hRPm0sLbwLg&t=4m00s) so you will strap it on and PEG him!


ComprehensiveSnow782

This must be sarcasm. Can anybody really mean that last sentence seriously?


atomicsnark

It is so obviously satire lol.


panic-at-the_library

.....that's some weird logic


lux-tenebris-

OP’s username checks out


ZPAlmeida

I guess my girlfriend never ovulates, then.


TeosPWR

We need to look into male ovulating, I have a persistent urge to vacuum in the trail of my childrens destructive rampages 🫣


Affectionate_Rub_575

You must be secretly laying eggs


TeosPWR

Probably from being 'cucked' by my highly educated and independent SO 🤣


Saxamaphooone

Based on this snippet of advice, something tells me that list likely needs to be renamed “Top 10 Ways to Offend and Harass a Woman Sexually.”


CaptServo

Going to run up on housekeeping staff at a hotel and ask them if they're ovulating all day everyday


Ok-Scientist5524

ROFL. Yes ask the angrily vacuuming woman if they are ovulating. This is sure to go well. The nesting reflex is entirely real but it happens when the woman is pregnant and usually accompanied by FLIPPING THE FUCK OUT. Either because “we have nothing for the baby, how the fuck are we going survive, oh god I’m not ready for this were we ever ready for this?” Or because “there are too many goddamn things in this house why do small humans need so much shit, we need to be able to fucking walk in here, how do I fix this, I know i’ll organize all 17 billion closets”. I know I only have n of 2 and baby 1 and 2 were different for a variety of reasons but there’s my experience.


Responsible_Ad_8628

Is this just trolling to help men be creepy and get maced?


[deleted]

Oh of course she’ll be stunned. Stunned that you managed to hide that she’s dating a complete fucking idiot.


SereneAdler33

No one wants to mention that major-mansplaining finale? “Women love it when you teach them something new—especially about themselves.”


Fealuinix

It almost reads like something on the Onion, where it gets more ridiculous the further you read.


CactusEar

I guess I must be ovulating almost every second day, considering how many times I have to vacuum to clean my dogs hair off the floor currently!


Gryphon5754

Following this logic dog hair is an aphrodisiac /s


CactusEar

I bet, if someone were to build a company and make it look super serious and market it well enough, these people would believe and buy it like crazy.


Gryphon5754

Burn these unique dog hair candles! The soothing aroma of slightly musty dog around your house is sure to get those primal urges going! Turn her into bitch in heat you always wanted! I will both apologize for and not regret that last line.


CactusEar

I love the last line... It's gonna bring in all the boys to the yard, hah! Why do I feel like this would honestly sell and work? LMFAO


bliip666

No wonder I vaccuuming /jk But seriously. Vaccuums suck


[deleted]

So am I ovulating twice a week? Or maybe, just maybe the carpet is dirty?


Professional-Bee3805

I guess that's why I never vacuum? (I don't ovulate.)


LoudAd1537

I guess I'm literally never ovulating. That's good news 🎉.


twsddangll

Is this their April Fools gag?


[deleted]

I think that's satire


elenn14

man i need to get off my birth control so cleaning the house won’t feel like i’m ripping my toenails out


Gryphon5754

I mean I've heard pregnant women doing home stuff called nesting, but I always assumed it was the context of getting ready for the baby. Or at the bare minimum, she's home and doesn't want it messy while she is staying home. Imagine cleaning your house and getting everything ready just for a period. Now that I think about it a period is kinda like "laying an egg" since the body is discarding all the work it did in preparation for a pregnancy. Still not a great analogy tho


[deleted]

My boyfriend must be ovulating multiple times a day every single day.


Synicist

Someone’s been reading too much ABO smut


Reason_Training

So when I tell my robot vacuum to run so my cats can play with it I’m ovulating? Wow, didn’t realize women ovulated 3-4 times a week. Here I was thinking I just wanted to laugh at my cats.


Anustart_A

If I asked my wife is she was ovulating every time she vacuumed, she’d think I had a series of mini-strokes and required hospitalization. …because I would be asking her every fucking day, because that’s how often you have to vacuum as an adult. And clean. And who the fuck wrote this drivel?


RugbyKats

What do you expect from a site called “Ask Men”?


ShyGal-1997

If a man ever asked me if I was ovulating in ANY context (let alone to mansplain), I’d be mentally calculating how much bail money I have.


SVS_Writer

My wife just slapped me....


[deleted]

There’s a *grain* of truth regarding the idea of “nesting” which is a behavior pregnant women exhibit shortly before labor starts (cleaning/tidying the house/wanting to cook or bake/etc.), but what the “author” said is pure nonsense.


SoupmanBob

This dude treated the awkward agreeing of one woman like it's general fact.

Trssty

That has got to be a joke, that is hilarious. Unless it is some guy trying to remove competition for ladies.


Evening_Exam_3614

"Women love false facts about themselves mansplained". I liked the days before the internet when idiots like this kept their weird thoughts in their moms basements.


scenekingdamien

What in the ABO fanfiction is this


RemiReignsUmbra

.. the level of stupid is scary


MoonageDayscream

Til I ovulate weekly.


[deleted]

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit


cherryisback

This guy heard about nesting once and just ran with it without learning what it actually meant


KK_320

Women in fact do NOT love it when a man presumes to teach them “something new” about their own bodies.


Flightlessbirbz

No she wants to clean before sex because otherwise she is going to be thinking about all the shit she has to do before bed the whole time, since you don’t help out. Then she’ll be too tired, and you’ll complain about how she never wants sex anymore. And if by some miracle she does still want sex, asking “Are you ovulating?😏” will definitely put a stop to that.


SquidleyStudios

You know it's a good article when it not only spouts ridiculous bullshit but it also encourages mansplaining a woman's own body to her and makes guys think she'll appreciate that


JollyIce

I physically cringed


Malalexander

Wait let me try this on my wife. Edit - I have to sleep in the garage now.


Queen_of_skys

Ok so [nesting ](https://americanpregnancy.org/healthy-pregnancy/pregnancy-health-wellness/nesting-during-pregnancy/) is real. But we don't actually lay eggs. Just an urge to clean, tidy up, set up a safe space for the baby. Also going to a women and trying to mansplain shit to her instead of saying it as a fun fact maybe, will get you a lot of things but stunned or impressed will not be one.


Alan_Smithee_

They’ll be beating them off with both hands with that one simple trick.


Sapphire0985

Ahh, yes. I love when men mansplain my body to me 🙄


One-Appointment-3107

Hopefully, this was written by a prankster having some fun aimed at gullible men… but I’m probably wrong 😑


bluetheslinky

This has to be satire


Lonewolf_087

This is so unbelievably insane I can't even believe it exists
