Interesting article. Sort of validates what happens to the black male. That “angry black woman” thing is what drives them off.
I like the t-shirt: Why get married? Just find a nasty hag and buy her a house...
(nearing 20 years of marriage myself)
so true, contempt is a sure sign it’s over. The second I see it pop up in someone elses relationship, I know it’s over.
In my area Anglo guys pair up nicely with newcomers from south/Central America; the former have a traditional mate who values children, while the latter aren’t treated as burros.
Works out well, and there is no shortage of those women; if you want an American girl you can go a bar and watch all the aging umarried childless man-haters drink themselves into stupors, passed around between the divorced American guys hanging out there.
I’m horrible...
“When’s the last time we saw a competent, confident husband/father portrayed in a TV sit-com”
Tim Allen does pretty good in Last Man Standing. And he is very conservative in the show.
I’m 51 and have seen this phenomenon three times in my life. In each case, the man was a good husband and father, but a wimp who married the first girl he dated (practically). In each case, a divorce ensued to the relief of his family and friends - and remarried, very happily...and, in each case, the shrew women fell completely to pieces. Each ‘wimp’ eventually grew a pair!
Modern feminism is not about equality; It’s a female supremacy movement.
Feminists do not wish to be regarded as inherently equal with men; They wish to be regarded as inherently better than men.
I grew up in a home with lots of brothers, so we were accustomed early on to taking care of ourselves in terms of cooking, laundry, etc.. I think everyone young man should learn those things; he’ll be less likely to marry thinking he’s swapping those chores from his mother to his new wife. If he doesn’t want a family, then he’s less likely to marry at all (and there is no problem with that).
If men were everything the man-hating TV producers seem to think they should be, they would have no problem finding an adoring wife; as it is now, plenty of men “trade up” in spouses when the original model acts like the TV commercial women...
I was shocked at the number of commercials during the Superbowl that shows men being good fathers.
After you get married and find yourself standing in a department store in the women’s section holding your wife’s purse you pretty much know what you’re in for.
I have found that in life you get what you accept. The men I know have no problem with women. We love them and respect them....but we do not take any sh1t from them. Pretty simple.
The nagging, belittling, controlling woman was around long before feminism. Read some Anthony Trollope novels from the 1800s and you’ll find her all over the place.
I was raised - and, largely in my current household as well - to believe that "If you don't like the way I take care of something, then you can do it your dammed self."
With exceptions, of course. And always, polite ones. For instance, Mrs WBill says, "I would appreciate it, WBill, if you would pick the laundry up and put it in the basket, rather than leaving it in a pile on the floor for me to trip on." Problem solved, and it's much easier than her stewing over it and whining to her girlfriends: "MY HUSBAND just is SO CLUELESS about the laundry. He NEVER etc etc etc". That won't ever address the issue, unless I'm sitting there at the table, or one of the girlfriends calls to let me know. :-)
Respect. That's all it is.
If you act up in that scenario (especially since they’ve removed the “chump chairs” for the men) then your wife eventually stops insisting you come.
It has been years since I’ve been in that situtation; it seemed to taper off when the kids came along because my disciplining of them in stores drove my wife nuts.
Given the usual "Dopey White Dad" commercials, they stuck out like a sore thumb. Which is likely why the advertisers did them.
Hopefully, it's a theme that will catch on. And, please note that I don't work for Toyota, or own stock in them. The commercial just caught my attention.
I’ve advised my oldest son that there is only one woman that will every really love him: his mother, and that most women don’t love a MAN, they love what a man can DO for them (until they divorce them).
Another way I put it is, if there was a door and someone told you there was a 50% chance of getting free chocolate cake on the other side, and a 50% chance someone would hit you in the face with a baseball bat, would you try to go through that door?
Divorce being around 50%...
If you based your observation on American TV, you'd conclude that ninety percent of the judges in the justice system are black, as well as half of the medical staff at all our hospitals.
See my post #35. GMTA. :-)
I don’t want my husband to do dishes, laundry or house chores. I don’t go to his job and start getting all in it. I don’t want him all in mine. The house is my job, including the lawn.
There’s no talk or fuss about this and no nasty comments being made by either of us. It works for us.
Except that the 50% divorce rate is a lie promoted by the Left to destroy marriage In the eyes of the public. Look it up. You cannot rely on government or university sponsored studies for non-political information.
