      2. Reading Milton's Paradise Lost I was struck by how male characters (God, Jesus, the Angels) are yakking all the time & Eve stays quiet

      3. I could talk about Godsplaining and Angelsplaining in the poem, but let's focus on Adam as mansplainer.

      4. Adam likes to talk. He asks God to create a companion so he won't be alone (i.e. he so he can yak away at someone).

      8. Like many women married to mansplainer, Eve learns to tune out what her husband is saying. It's a survival strategy.

      6. Milton is explicit on this in Book 8, lines 40-50. Adam and the Angel Raphael are having bull session about cosmic stuff & Eve is bored.

      7. "So spake our Sire, and by his count'nance seemd Entring on studious thoughts abstruse, which Eve [hating to listen to] went forth"

          9. Of course Milton wants to say that Eve doesn't have the brains to listen to Adam's lofty thoughts, but another reading is possible.

          10. In Book 9, Eve tells Adam she wants to be alone for a bit. Adam, a real controlling dude, resists but ultimately relents.
