I think men should be a little more realistic and a little more forgiving.

After all the things that women do for you, you can’t fargin them to relax a little on Shabbos and have their own Shabbos menucha? Women need to talk, and getting together in the fresh air with other women is a form of menucha. Are you concerned about what they are talking about? You shouldn’t be. You should dan l’kaf zchus. What frum women, especially Lakewood women talk about, is ear infections, which formula they changed to, their birthing experience, and other varberishe zachin that you really don’t need to know about. Or they might be recited sefer tehilim, which a lot of women groups do, or they might be chatting about some type of chessed they need to accomplish in the neighborhood. Or it might be as light as the latest book they read or the cutest thing their kids said. It is really not necessary to worry about what they are talking about.

Be happy they are grouping together to chat. The other option is forcing YOU to listen to everything they want to talk about.
