When making a sandwich is a crime against feminism (Australia)
Daily Telegraph (Australia) ^ | 10/7/2017 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 10/08/2017 3:44:50 PM PDT by RightGeek

WHEN young Sydney mother Maddie asked her closed Facebook group of 26,186 mothers for some tasty alternatives to sandwiches for her husband’s lunches, she wasn’t expecting the backlash.

...

You would think she’d asked for a hemlock recipe, judging by the torrent of scolding which erupted.

She was nothing but a “slave” and a “1950s housewife”.

She was “weird” and no one in their right mind or a “pink fit” would do something so demeaning as make their husband lunch. Let alone snacks.

“Your husband is a grown up and you’re not his mother”, wrote one member of the North Shore Mums Facebook group.

“My husband can make his own damn lunch.”

“I make my husband the same thing he makes me. Nothing!!”

“Stuff that, hubby is a grown man. I already do his laundry and keep his children alive.”

“Our advice is to stop making his lunches.”

“My role is childcare during working hours and that’s it.”

“He’s lucky if I decide to make dinner some nights”.

“I was married for twenty years and my favourite packed lunch for my husband was called a Get it Yourself with a side order of I’m not your mother.”

...

“I’m actually so devastated about some of these comments,” wrote Maddie.

She and her husband are saving up to buy their first home and, “he works in an extremely physically demanding job, he does housework, he cooks dinner every second night... He gets up in the middle of the night with our Bub. He is a champion.

“The least I can do is make him a bloody sandwich. I love my man, he deserves to eat lunch and we can’t afford to eat out.”

“I was married for twenty years and my favorite packed lunch for my husband was called a Get it Yourself with a side order of I’m not your mother.”

I bet his favorite packed lunch was "Why did I ever marry this C**t" with a side order of "I hope the old bag doesn't find out I'm doing her younger, hotter sister"

Don’t you see that the people who bashed Maddie and MGOTW come from the same exact place. My first thought was that. If you like one, you should love the other.,

Sounds like you’ve become a feminist.

And then feminists are confused about the MGTOW movement.

No, they aren't confused by it. Feminists founded MGOTW, and they know it means they are winning. Every single MGTOW "guy" is a feminist tool.

Selfishness is good except when it comes to economics. Then your stuff is my stuff.

if she stays home while he goes to work i fail to see the problem, and even if she does work but wants to see he eats healthy, again i fail to see the problem

sounds like a bunch of nasty cows

To paraphrase one of the comments at the article: Once upon a time a man asked a feminist to marry him. She said no. And he lived happily ever after.

I can’t believe the attitude of those women.

Indeed, the comments border on hate/rage.

That this woman wants to pack a lunch for her husband shows she loves him. It’s a small thing, but believe me guys dig it. Guys are a bit like dogs. Praise them, feed them, and they’ll love you. You can even scratch behind
their ears.

Such bitterness among these harpy women. I doubt any of them are in anything resembling a happy marriage.

Been married over 30 years and division of labor is pretty much a major benefit of marriage. My wife cooks certain dishes well and I have my specialities too. So it varies as to which one of us is doing the cooking and we don't worry about who might being doing a larger share of it than the other. And certainly neither of us are "demeaned" in any way when we are the ones doing the cooking (or cleaning).

Those women sound like angry, nasty people!

Saving for their first home? I wish I could send a donation.

The Left hates you. They hate everything about you. In fact, they want you dead and they’ll kill you for making sandwiches for your husband.

Prepare accordingly.

P.S. I pack a lunch for both me and my wife at least 3 times a week.

These liberal bullies are peacocking. They are shaming her to get points with their friends and enjoying the bullying under moral cover.

If I were married to one of these women, I’d agree to do all the cooking and cleaning. I’d become a great housekeeper and cook.

After becoming a great cook and housekeeper, move.

It is peacocking, showing off. “Look at me, I’m defending the cause by shaming a safe target!”

We both cook. Mostly it’s me, but then, I enjoy it and I can’t do all the physical maintenance jobs he does. I still work, but from home. He worked outside and at home for over 40 years. I’ve always worked from home.

I do 95% dinners, he does maybe 35% breakfast and lunch, I do the same and the other 30% we feed ourselves when hungry.
We’re a partnership and right now, we’re financially in one of those ‘or worse’ periods. There’s no reason to add to the stress, especially when it comes to food, which is essential. It’s a time to relax and refuel, not haul out angst and count coup. It’s exactly like going to bed angry, which isn’t a good idea, either.

I doubt these marriages have a chance of lasting 43 years.

I’ve read that Woman’s Lib was a CIA op and Gloria Steinem was a tool of the globalists. No idea if that’s true, but it sure is working in their favor.

The bitter hags, like their comrades all over the Western world, would benefit tremendously by taking an extended field trip to the Middle East. Especially in a wife swap situation.

crime against feminism???? I think it’s called being a man.

I think you're right.
