Forty-six words women might say, men probably wouldn't:

• Book club: A female dominated affair, perhaps because women read more fiction, or perhaps because men aren't very good at talking about it
• Accessorise: If men were ever to use this word it would only be in the context of cars
• Body image
• Empowering: Men never use this word, perhaps because for the 200,000 years humans have been on the planet, men have had all the power
• Burlesque:
Something involving strip-tease that can apparently involve the above
• Size zero
• Home birth
• Pilates: Men in the UK, particularly, seem to have no interest in building up their core strength
• Pomegranate: Men seem ill-equipped to understand the significance and full range of superfoods

Differing vocabularies can be a source of disagreement

• Cellulite
• Absolutely beautiful: The words women often use to describe friends who are not
• Conventionally attractive: Preceded by "well I suppose she is...", a phrase women often use to describe those who actually are
• Jesse Metcalfe: A walking Athena poster, see above
• Footless tights: Strange idea, strangely popular
• Breastfeeding
• Emotional intelligence: Something that men usually do not possess, instead preferring the kind of intelligence that involves dates of battles
• Kitten heels: Or indeed heels of any other kind
• What are you thinking?: The classic female condition check
• Feminism: If even veteran feminists can't agree on what this means then it's probably best avoided by men
• Afghanistan:
A place where the debate is rather starker
• Agony aunt:
When men seek answers to life-changing problems in magazines, it tends to be under the headline "plasma or LCD?"
• Airbrushing:
The process by which magazine picture editors oppress women in an underhand way
• Flexible working
• Handbagging:
As in new Commons leader Harriet Harman's request to Theresa May not to savage her every Thursday
• Beefeater: The first female one made her debut this year
• Babies
• Superwoman
• Ms:
Extraordinarily, the battle continues for women to be allowed to avoid definition by their marital status
• Middleton: As in Kate. Style icon or harassed paparazzo target?
• Concealer
• Why: As in "why do you never call?"
