山牆
2.The head of your high table：大家肯定有看過宴會常用的高桌，而坐在主位一端的，通常都是地位最高者、最重要的人。
high table
3.The false incompetence虛假的無能：許多女性發現一個現象，就是丈夫會裝作不會做家事，或者是做得很糟（例如碗洗不乾淨）來逃避做家務的責任。所以這裡才會提到「武器化」，只要無能的夠徹底，女人就會想說「算了，那讓我來吧」。相關報導：將無能武器化
其他補充：
Studies indicate that single women often experience better health, less depression, and increased longevity compared to their married counterparts. They typically face fewer stresses and enjoy greater personal autonomy and freedoms.（研究表明，與已婚女性相比，單身女性通常更健康、更少憂鬱、壽命更長。她們通常面臨的壓力更少，享有更大的個人自主權和自由。）
