Men who love robots
Shazzer said: Look, women can do whatever they want - stay at home, go earn the big bucks, whatever... But if they expect to be married (and have a HAPPY marriage) all of that has to be turned OFF once hubby walks through the door. Otherwise a man could just very easily outsource all of the *wifely* duties - home cook, cleaning lady, call girl for sex without the stress, etc.
And women's incentive to stay in a marriage with a guy who doesn't care about them as a person, only as a collection of duties to be performed for him, is what again?

Guys like you don't want a wife. You want a mother.
No, he doesn't -- mothers don't create a perfect stress-free haven for their children where they never, ever expect the kids to do anything around the home or take out their own frustrations on the kids.
What he wants is to be a Victorian gentleman, with servants. Only he wants there to be only one. And he thinks it's fine if she also has a job; it's just that at home, she's his servant.
Good luck with that, dude. If you advertise in the BDSM community, you *might* find a woman who will put up with your bullshit. Most of us would rather be single than living with a guy who can't be bothered to be a friend, let alone a co-equal in creating a home.
And I can't believe that people like Brightstar are seriously arguing that in a marriage *women* walk all over men, when there are men out there like Shazzer who apparently believe that women are walking all over men if women are not perfect, cheerful, selfless robots who never complain, have feelings or frustrations, and *certainly* never express these feelings to the person who supposedly loves them.
