women can let a phone ring

I rarely generalize
all men do this
all women do that
but in my family
women can let a phone ring
We are not curious enough to look
We can get it later

There are three men in my family
slaves to a phone’s ring
they not only answer their own phones
but answer the women’s phones
annoying us greatly
