Chapter 5:  Sandwich Making

Spanky McStupid: Hell, except for the "nice" part and the "sex" part, it describes the perfect date for FARK.

Fixed to better conform with most farkers' reality.

I don't give a shiat about subservient. Take that part out and add more sex.

My Wife's grandmother gave us a book like this after we got married, except it working God into the advice somehow, we haven't read it.

One Federal agency recently presented its employees with a slide show on proper business dress and helpfully pointed out that women should wear makeup so they would look more attractive. I've obviously been sent to a lot more HR classes than they have.

I think the Good Old Days crowd would love to return to the Mad Men era.

While I'm never going to agree with a WND article, I was once on the receiving end of "Be mean & bossy & no sex," and I am happy to report that this strategy did work out for that particular woman.

Women are supposed to prance around in heels.

Coco LaFemme: There's nothing wrong with being nice, having sex with your man, and knowing how to cook.

Those are all positive things. If he likes porn, it also helps to rub his balls and talk dirty to him while he watches it. Learning a few favorite ingredients for dishes is nice, and make sure there's an equitable division of labor overall in the household.

GAT_00: Kyosuke: How soon until we eliminate gender roles entirely?

Like about a dozen other problems, the first step to the solution will be when the Baby Boomers die.

It's obvious WE need to start a war somewhere inhospitable and get all drafty on your ass, Junior

Same here.

She thought I was committed and too much in love.  I called her on it and she more or less said that it was time for me to know who she really is.  She thought I was bluffing when I said I wanted out and got meaner.

One of the last straws was a Valentine's Day dinner out.  She lit into me and went through a list of personal criticisms for about five minutes and loud enough for everyone else to hear.  And they did.  I sat there quietly thinking about the best way to dump her.

The boot was given about 24 hours later and I cut all contact.  According to mutual friends, she was a wreck and "couldn't understand where it went wrong."

Coco LaFemme: There's nothing wrong with being nice, having sex with your man, and knowing how to cook.  I enjoy all of those things.

I enjoy being nice and cooking.  I haven't yet tried having sex with your man, but since you recommend it...

This wasn't Caitlin Flanagan again, was it? Oh, Venker. Nice quote:

She recently lamented to New York magazine that women no longer "go to college to find a husband; you go to find your own single life and your career."

Fark that noise. I married my wife not because she went to college to get her MRS, I married her because she was a PhD-candidate molecular biologist with a career in science.

Sh*t, I'd settle for 2 out of 4 from today's women.

I'd be happy to be those things once all men who are looking to marry become strong, competent, and even-tempered.

These are the same people who think Muslims hate us for our "freedoms."

PsiChick: /I'd probably be a psychotic housewife too if I were in a permanent sub relationship when I didn't have a submissive personality.

I gotta FB friend from back in college, a trained lawyer, who became a stay-at-home mother so her husband could start up a company reselling electricity to their fellow Texans. I don't know why anyone thought that was a good idea. Her FB pages basically describe the arc of a capable woman who's being slowly driven bugfark by dealing with small children all day. I try to help by puncturing her more Teatardish posts with snark.

Hebalo: When telling her this, don't forget to also say "and because I love you".

Hahahaha, yes, indeed. My point, of course, is that I wouldn't have fallen in love with a bubblehead looking to get her MRS.

She was trying to help you damnit!!! Why didn't you appreciate her efforts to help you be a better person!!!!  God you men are pathetic!!!!

There isn't nearly as much derp in this thread as I was expecting.

I'd say "yay FARK" but I think I overbought on popcorn.

Not being a business owner I could hardly understand what is needed to get a business started but wouldn't it have made more sense for her to be working while he was trying to get his business going so they could have that income as a cushion?
