GORDON: Yes, expecting a wife to be nice while her husband is dong probably the only thing he wants to do after a long week of working deserves the "Sad" tag.

That goes both ways; expecting a husband to be nice after the wife has worked all week is pretty controversial too.

I am sure my wife has an opinion on this matter...

/too bad I didn't give her permission to speak

Meh. I don't think there's anything wrong with a woman choosing to be a housewife. Just as long as people don't expect her to or try to guilt or force her into being one. I also don't think that there should be any stigma against men staying home with the kids.

I have no problem fetching him a beer and a sammich when he's watching the game. Just so long as he keeps fetching me ice cream and frappuccino while I'm watching the Notebook.

I make my husband snacks all the freaking time. Usually weekend lunch is served in his office upstairs, Sunday dinner is served by the TV with the kid, and the rest are downstairs trying to make believe we're not dysfunctional and stuff.

/Last night: Pork chops, rice a roni, quesadillas, raw broccoli, cooked green beans.
/I'll be out of the house at lunchtime, but I've prepared a plate of leftovers, or he can have leftover baked chicken with a side of broccoli and dip.

phaseolus: I'd be happy if a woman would just stop picking fights about pointless things and treat me like an equal partner in our marriage.

I'm capable of making my own damned sandwiches. If she made 'em, that would just be more kitchen mess for me to clean up, anyway.


This. And I'm female.

Great. Just found out that after I waited 3 hours for the husband to "be ready" for breakfast, screwing up my whole day's schedule, that now he doesn't want breakfast at all.

Fark him.

And the eggs he rode in on.

I think it's important to occasionally break up the beer and sammich routine during game time. Now and then I'll unchain her from the sink long enough to table dance for my friends. She's such a good sport about handing over the tips! I love her so much.

so if i make my own sandwiches, have sex with myself, socialise with people, feel content, let women do what they want......oh thats what i do.

Staypuft_Mushmallow_Manz: ULTRON 5: 25 % ? So thats half of all men.

Not so fast. There are plenty of ultraconservative, holier-than-thou women who think that their working sisters are an affront to God.

In the Catholic church for example, somewhere to the right of Opus Dei there's what my girlfriend calls the Hat Crowd (as in, the girls all wear dresses and hats to church because they think it's an insult to God to come in with pants on and a bare head). These are the girls who get Daddy to spend ~$150,000 to send them to Notre Dame exclusively for an MRS degree. One of them actually told my girlfriend that getting her degree in engineering was morally wrong. Either that, or really sad because women who get jobs must do so because they can't find a man who can take care of them.

They're out there.




I stand corrected....So less than half of American men feel that way? Thats a shame.

Psychotropic: I was married for 17 years. In that time my wife cooked me one meal.
It was half raw chicken. I complained, she never cooked again.


That's grounds for divorce. 17 years ago.

Worthless biatch.

Women in general are FAR too oversensitive about this type of shiat.

If your man thinks you need to make him a sandwich or whatever and you don't want to do it because you feel like it subordinates you, here are your options:

1. Make the damn sandwich and learn to love it.
2. Leave, and then find someone who has views that better coincide with your own.

Nothing pisses me off more than a woman who biatches about wanting to be treated as an equal and then gets upset when her boyfriend/husband/whatever doesn't hold the door open for her, etc.

/female.
//totally content in the working world, in a field that is almost entirely made up of men.

hogans: I'm inclined to agree - depending upon the woman, of course.

The gold-digging, "high maintenance" women that have become so popular in the last decade or so could use a little humility and reality in their lives. Let's face it, they should qualify as human before they should be allowed on the streets.



As a woman, I've noticed that if a woman cultivates some sort of useful traditional skill (cooking, baking, sewing, basket weaving-- even a zeal for cleaning after a few jello shots) she'll also be a pretty nice gal.

It doesn't matter if she's good at it.

Women who think traditional skills are beneath them? Terrifying. The most self-centered, quick to anger, screeching harpies you'll ever meet. And they're in the majority.

The problem is easily solved. EVERYBODY goes to the kitchen when Tony Kornhauser is talking, and makes their own sammich.

But srsly, what is it with some guys who get married and suddenly lose all ability to prepare food for themselves? I'm not talking about switching off making dinner. I'm talking about if I don't physically put the food in his hands he will wander around all day like a lost puppy, forlornly opening the fridge and looking in the cabinets, sighing.

I think that women need to get out and make their own place in the world, just like men. That being said, there are way too many princesses in our work force (some of whom are men) who need to quit farking whining every time things get a little tough, and do their farking job.

I think the Arabs have a valid point, although their off in this detail - our society is not too feminist, it's too feminine. Women should be able to do any job they're are qualified for at the same pay as a man - but for this to happen they need to stop dressing like high priced whores (unless they are one) and rely on ability and performance, not politics and sex appeal, to get ahead.

This is the same reason I think black people should return to their traditional roles in society. I mean, the ones who've picked a little cotton, maybe stood on the auction block to give their lives some direction, those ones are always clean and articulate. But the ones who think traditional skills are beneath them? Terrifying. The most self-centered, quick to anger, uppity darkies you'll ever meet. And they're in the majority.

Decent, average women in big cities get 100 responses a week from internet dating sites.

Men? Tall, attractive, successful men may get a handful if they are lucky. Clearly, nature created differences between men and women that feminists refuse to take into account, time and time again.

Women have taken many of the fun jobs, and left men to work the shiat jobs.

Then men are portrayed in the media/TV as idiots, and women are always right. In my experience, women are often WRONG, and WAY WRONG, just as men are, but their entitlement mentality makes them able to say whatever they feel without retribution. I worked with all women and I have never been treated so poorly in all my life. I was FORCED against my will to take an extra desk I did not want or need, by a woman if I had done that to, I would have been fired immediately. I was yelled at like I was in the Army. It was horrible. If I made even one tiny mistake, half the girls would go behind my back to the boss to complain, even though they made mistakes constantly. If I worked really hard to have no mistakes at all, some of them would make shiat up to go and complain to the boss. In my previous job I worked with mostly male bosses and it was much better.

My girlfriend is the nicest woman ever. She buys ME things when we go out. She never nags me. She never complains. She is very kind. I don't treat her badly. I always take her feelings into account. Granted, she is not attractive, but I don't care. Having gone through a divorce with a soul-sucking evil coont who was attractive, I have grown since then.

In general, modern feminism, PC, and women finding out they hold all the sexual power, has turned them into the Paulsons of the dating realm. They want it all, and they want to say it all, and if you don't like it, they'll slit your throat.

In my experience, what men get all the tail? The total sociopathic assholes get all the tail.

What percentage of women are the way I described above? At my office, it was about 80% horrible to 20% nice.

That is just way too high and is a product of women never being told how to act properly, and not being held accountable for their actions because they have a vagina and men have to just take it or they'll leave.

I have to agree here. I have better things to do than watch a bunch of dudes run around playing grabass. Seems that alot of folks that suck at sports try to live through sports on TV. Now actually playing sports, that is fun.

This is precisely why I am meeting as many women as I can-- I feel bad for you. I feel like people get married sometimes because they are willing to settle, OR, they don't know who they are, and wake up one day next to someone that they wouldn't have chosen were they in better frame-- psychologically (confidence) and financially.

The men who get the quality tail are men who are simply more aggressive and confident. This "asshole or sociopath" stuff is a common argument put forth by men who are shy and just want to make excuses for why they settle for Sarah Plain and Tall. Men love hot chicks, hot chicks love confident men, simple.

Women have tremendous advantages in this society. Look decent, take care of yourself and a woman can do anything she wants, with anyone she wants, hell it even helps them advance in the workplace.
