Why Women Nag

Women nag about their husbands’ uselessness because it makes them feel more feminine, a new study has revealed. According to Daily Mail, researchers insist that men’s lack of effort on the domestic front could actually be a myth created by their partners, as female breadwinners feel guilty about devoting too much time to their career, and not enough to their role of wife and mother.

By complaining about their husbands' alleged shortcomings, they feel more feminine because they can control the traditionally female role of maintaining the home and family.

“Working women who provide the majority of the household's income continue to articulate themselves as the ones who see household messes and needs as a way to retain claim to an element of traditional female identity,” the Courier Mail quoted Dr Rebecca Meisenbach, professor of communication at Missouri University as saying.

The researchers say that nagging about their husbands’ inability to do specific household chores, female breadwinners try to make sure that they still fit gender stereotypes of a wife as someone who manages the home and children.

“By directing the housework done by their husbands, they maintain a sense of control over the traditionally feminine sphere of the home,” Meisenbach added.

Are you always grumpy in the mornings? That's not good for you.

The last time I was grumpy in the morning and let someone know when I was woken up abruptly, the person had actually come to tell me that he had a daughter.

Next time that will hopefully make me think twice before making such comments.

Interesting but really untrue as I'm sure women who devote their time to being only family women nag too which makes the argument, well, stupid (lack of a better word)

Jihad of the Nafs (The Struggle of the Soul)

Women nag for the same reason guys (rhymes with witch)

to get things done... or more specifically get what they want done.

IME both can be aggro abot it

Thats the most ridiculous thing I've read from the Daily Mail.How would nagging make us feel more feminine,especially since we are feminine already (considering we are WOMEN).Such Rubbish! :roll:

Your own soul is nourished when you are kind; it is destroyed when you are cruel.

U really don't know women too well do ya, they r anything but boring, a whole world of excitement awaits if you only know what to do with them...

I can't disagree with the wife part though.

If I ever have to kill for something, it would be for, "A woman"
