If women are staying home, then they are the ones who can’t help but notice what else is going on.
And many of us DO stay at home, at least alot more than the husband, I must say. Trust me, my husband is really curious sometimes postulating what is happening across the street; he just doesn’t have the time to see all that I see.
See, I’m the opposite. Back when I lived alone the first thing I did when I moved to a new place was close the blinds. I never opened them until I moved. My wife has all sorts of scenarios worked out for the lives of our immediate neighbors. Me, I wouldn’t even recognize them if I saw them in the street.
