Nagging And Other Terms Men Need To Stop Using
Ball and chain
Balls and chains are used to imprison people and hold them back. Ironically, men often talk about their “ball and chain” wife when referring to the fact that she is just wondering when he’ll be home because she prepared dinner. Huh. She made you food—the thing that keeps you alive. That doesn’t sound like she holds you back. But furthermore, women don’t refer to men as balls and chains. This double standard spreads the obnoxious myth that women demand and need the attention of their partners more than the other way around, and that simply isn’t true.
