How to deal with a mansplainer - four medieval ways.
@DamienKempf
see also Lamech and his Wives (second from the left):
Lamech was the first man to depart from the Divine plan by taking two wives. He introduced bigamy to the world.
The Midrash claims that each of Lamech’s wives served a different purpose. Lamech married Adah exclusively for the sake of procreation. He had no other relationship with her; she lived like a scorned widow. Her name connotes pregnancy Tragically, that was the entirety of her existence.
Lamech married Zillah to satisfy his unbridled sexual urges. She drank a contraceptive elixir so that unwanted pregnancy did not ruin her appeal. She adorned herself like a harlot.
