Voodoo, I’ve been reading your posts and couldn’t agree more with you! I’m a 30 year old man who was raised by a single mother and a cackling gaggle of doting aunts and grandmothers. I was taught reverence and respect for women, but over the years, I’ve learned my own “maleness” and established a pro-men mindset in light of the myriad years taught that men were inutile grunts.
I’m in a relationship now with a woman who was raised much the same way, but for women, the lack of a male figurehead during the formative years leads them to look for strong men in the image of the men they knew in their lives. I apparently fit the bill, and I too run the house finances, investments, mortgage, and utility bills. While I’ve been known to cook up a mean stir fry or pick up a sponge to clean the dishes or the bathrooms, she generally handles those tasks.
Men have become emasculated and feminized, and I’m very tired of the same old canard being trotted out in all of the anti-male sitcoms and cable TV shows. If we ever turn back to the understanding that men and women are genetically and emotionally different, we will then get back to the adults running the country’s business instead of these metrosexual Congressmen and their cackling power-hungry female counterparts.
in the media men are portrayed as stupid. they do men as crying and what a woman wants, on AD’s it is always a man who is stupid.
It’s high time men actually stopped being so girlie and pansies
Woman want a strong male figure as a partner. the differences between the sexes goes much deeper than the physical and extends right down to the genetics. Men and woman look different, are built different and have different emotions because they ARE different and are meant to do different things.
The cave man hunted and killed the beast which fed the family while the woman cleaned the cave, cooked and look after the children. It is no different today, or it shouldn’t be. The Jungles have become the office place and the caves have become the homes we live in. The food is brought home by the man in the form of a paycheck and the woman tasked with buying the food, cooking it and seeing to the children. It is the natural order and the women’s libbers have screwed it all up badly. To be fair it couldn’t have happened without the pussification of the male being well on it’s way before.
I am a 42 yr old straight woman in the process of divorce. I would have loved for my husband to take over the finances. He however thought that his job was done after going to work all day. I was in charge of holding a job, outside of the home, paying the bills even though he was in the habit of spending money that we did not have, raising the kids and running them everywhere, keeping up the housework, and I even went back to school and earned my BSIT. What he wanted out of me was for me to do all of these things and get a better paying job than he had so he could stay home. And even if he had stayed home I probably would have had to do the above mentioned things. He was also mentally abusive, and sorry to say but that is most of the time worse than physical abuse.
He was raised in a family that had a very strong father and a mother that worked all of the time to support the family also. He saw himself as the head of the family and we all had to do things exactly as he wanted them. So where does he fit in in all of this?
