  • Golly gee, I never saw how right you are, now I see the light!

    "I just abhor this attitude among women that they are only receivers in the marriage, never being responsible for doing anything charitable or decent towards the man. God forbid a woman should stoop to bothering to be good to a man, to listen to his needs, or to take any responsibility for anything that goes on in the marriage." Brightstar

    You know what Brightstar, you are so right. No feminist wife in the United States of America ever rubs her husbands back, gives him a hand job while driving, listens to his day, she never makes him dinner or breakfast in bed, she never scratches his itchy spots that he just can't reach or kisses him hello and tells him how happy she is to see him. She just has her hands out, gimme, gimme, gimme all the time while sneering when he asks for a little welcome home peck. She is the queen who sits around eating bon bons and getting mani pedi's and massages and hair cuts while he slaves away at work, sits at home with the kids unless she's gotten them a nanny and never has any time to himself and who's wife never ever does anything for him at all except for leech all the happiness from his existence. He never sees his friends, he never watches sports or ESPN, he never sits in his garage fiddling with his hobby or goes fishing at the lake, the only activities they do together are the ballet, classical concerts or visiting her parents and various other activities he destests when she would never ever set foot on a NASCAR race track or sit in the stands of a basketball game or attend his business dinners to show support and never ever gives him congratulations when getting a promotion or winning an award.

    When a marriage hits a rough spot she never ever suggests counseling or asks what he wants, what would make him happy she just sneers and complains about how he's ruined her life dammit, how dare he exist and not follow her every command, doesn't he know that she is master of the universe and keeper of all things moral and righteous. These feminist women you are so right to detest never ever cares if he loses his job or tries to help him when he's sick. She just stands there hands on hips, suck it up man or I'm leaving! How dare you fail, don't you know I'm woman hear me roar and you only service me when employed? How dare you be upset man child! I mean we all know how women run off with another man when their husband gets cancer or has a heart attack, or stays at work pursuing her career while he lay dying oh, and of course she's doing her boss while screeching about his porn collection and she only married him so he'd take care of her in her old age anyway. Compassion, consideration, love and caring and sacrafice, why the feminist has never thought these terms applied to her and wonders what all the fuss is about while she primps her hair, buys a vibrator and does things that serve her and only her and maybe her husband affections replacing children as she tra la las through life happy that her spouse pretends not to exist unless he's buying her things or rubbing her back. When he breaks his leg, she's no where to be found, she's got better things to do than be decent towards her husband. She never changes his diet when the doctor says he's got hypertension, she never reminds him of doctors appointments or his mother's birthday or sister's wedding anniversary. She never ever sacrafices career advancement because he'd really rather she raised the children than a nanny or daycare center. No there are absolutely no feminist women into swinging or open marriages or watching porn together. There are absolutely no feminist women who exist that are kind and compasionate towards the people in their lives. No feminist woman in the United States has ever expressed gratitude or appreciation for the man she married. Nope, all they do is complain about how he masturbates, cheats, doesn't clean, doesn't help with the kids and is constantly screaming about how he's a worthless sack of shit and the only good he does her is when he buys her jewlery, homes, cars and furs and he better keep those abs ripped or she'll just find another player who treats her poorly and then complains about how all men are pigs.

    If women didn't pop out babies, well then you'd never bother with us horrible wastes of space called the feminist would you and neither would any other man. Us feminists are just so lucky as to have pert breasts and fertile wombs otherwise we'd get what's coming to us right quick wouldn't we, since apparently we are the root of all evil and the world has certainly become a more horrid place since women decided that they'd like to be treated as adults with brains capable of supporting themselves and a family.

    You're right Brightstar, I thrown down my feminist sword today! You've converted me! Women who want equality are nothing but dirty hypocrites sucking the life blood from men!
