Have you ever made your husband a sandwich? If so, you should be ashamed of yourself. Don't you realize such behavior sets women back decades?
That's the message of a new article in The Daily Telegraph, entitled "When making a sandwich is a crime against feminism," about an Australian woman named Maddie who asked a Facebook group of 26,186 mothers whether anyone had some yummy alternatives for her husband's lunches, which she said she makes for him every day.
Now that's what anyone I know would call a nice wife.
But that's not what Maddie was called on Facebook. Instead, she was told she was nothing but a “slave” and a “1950s housewife." She was also “weird,” as no woman in her right mind would do something so demeaning as to make her husband lunch.
The feminist worldview is antithetical to love because its focus is solely on women: their needs, their wants, their desires, and their rights. Love can’t possibly be sustained with an attitude like that. Here's just a sampling of some of the responses Maddie got:
“Your husband is a grown up, and you’re not his mother!”
“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."
And it stuck.
The idea that a wife would—or God forbid, should—do anything for her husband with no expectation for anything in return—just to be nice, because, as Maddie put it, she "loves her man" and they "can't afford to eat out"— makes her weak.

I know a few marriages like this. The thing is, the men are on-board with the feminism and "appearance of absolute equality" thing.
And my experience has taught me ALL of these marriages fail and end in bitterness. There is no sense of the complimentality of differences, but instead two independent actors coming together for a transaction. They often separate everything - from cars to bank accounts to friends to holidays. Eventually something comes along where real love and support are needed, and these marriages always crumble.
Good grief, those poor men. Well, leaves more good ones for us women who adore our men.
The issue is silly and has been since the feminists bizarrely made an issue of holding doors open being some sort of oppression. People who voluntarily do things for one another are never weakened by it. End of story.
But will she even understand why?
My husband is retiring in about 2 weeks....I’ve made his LUNCH for most of the past 25 years....happily. Feminists don’t know what they are missing...I got to quit serving a corporation and start serving my family. That’s why I’m NOT AN ANGRY FEMINIST!
Honestly Friend:
Drive. Don’t let anyone else map out your journey...
You. Drive.
-H.
Good for you. Nice work.
If you could FReepmail me one without the onions, that would be great.
Sorry -— that last part was too easy.
But seriously; good for you (and him).
Google image Darth Vader Kitchen for an even funnier one.
My wife and I have an agreement, I will make my own damn sammich. After almost 50 years I do NOT want all grain bread, light mayo, fat free meat, fake low cal cheese. I want a real French baguette, beef, salami, ham and real cheese and when I bite into it I want to have to catch a half pound of delicious trying to escape the bread. The girls can have their crust free lettuce and cucumber dainties at their teas.
A word of advice: If you want your marriage to last longer than three years, become best friends with your spouse and do things for each other. It’s worked for me for 59 years so far! And we still love each other.
So, in our new fancy world with multiple dozens of sexes...if a man made his husband a sammich would he be setting back man-u-linity?
Everyone needs a boot to the head. Everyone.

I must have married her sister....
Cultures where women have attitudes like the harridans quoted in this article are being overrun by an Islamic culture where women willingly wear bags over their heads.
God sure does have a sense of humor.
It is called KINDNESS. I would like to do things like that more. It is my nature...
He wants us to have separate food budgets. We buy and make our own meals. It is not easy cooking well for one.
“...listen to Dr. Laura on SiriusXM ...”
Dr. Laura is still on?
About 10 years ago a lady called her show saying that she was depressed. Her husband never said, “I love you”, “Thank you”, etc., and never really did anything when he was home. She basically did everything for him, waited on him, and she ticked off what she did. It was a LOT.
Lady said, “I’m tired and depressed, BUT HE SEEMS HAPPY.”
Dr. Laura said, “Honey, he gets everything he wants. Of course he’s happy. Why wouldn’t he be happy?”
I don’t recall how it ended, but I guess there are all kinds of relationships that are unbalanced to one side or the other.
Get her Dr. Laura’s book on what women need to know about marriage. Read it together. I got it for an acquaintance who was not happy. He said his wife read it, saw herself in it, wept bitterly and changed her ways. Women have been poisoned by feminism and some of them don’t see themselves clearly.
My husband says that many of his colleagues’ wives do not cook. They bring home MacDonald’s or eat from the freezer and expect their husbands to do the same. That’s just mean.
I spoke to a checker at the market who was about to get married, and told her how lovely it was to be married and congratulated her. She said she was getting grief from her girlfriends!! That it was stupid, etc.
Right there with ya. Now I must admit Chik-fil-A has a chicken sandwich on a multi-grain bun. It’s quite delicious.
It’s the only time I regularly started ordering multi grain.
No skim, no 2%, no light - right on.
[It is not easy cooking well for one.]
Seems like I’ve done that most of my life. So I learned to like Michelina’s ($1 at WM and rarely cheaper elsewhere). this week the grocery store had 6 Tony’s pizzas for $10. woohoo
When my father lived with me I’d make huge batches, keep my fridge super-cold and we’d eat off stuff for 3 weeks, no problem. I loved making my red beans and rice. Dad about fainted when I dumped a whole bottle of Louisiana Hot Sauce in it. But then he was chowing down on it every day afterwards.
