Like it or love it, every culture has old wives’ tales. The term is not meant to be derogatory; it’s the truth. Since time immemorial, women have been the keepers of knowledge and wisdom and passed that down to the next generation of women. Life is what it is, and the truth is what it is. Humanity has survived as long as it has, in no small part due to old wives’ tales. 

Old wives' tales: superstition or folklore used to explain why something happens or to advise on how to prevent certain things from happening.
