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.

Same here. But I know my wife is looking out for my health. She does make a great meatloaf sandwich. I could make my own sandwich, but happily let her make it for me. It's all about compromise. I do man tasks for her, and she does a lot for me. That sometimes includes carrying her purse for her when she can't, not manly, but I'll do anything for her. Compromise is all about going more than halfway for the other, on both sides; that makes for a happy marriage. Something that is lost on feminists and their twisted thinking.
If you care enough to help a man by making him a sandwich, do you fail as a feminist? I’d rather have a woman that wants to help me, and not herself, more.
“no woman in her right mind would do something so demeaning as to make her husband lunch.”
It didn’t say in the article, did she use her money she earned to buy some of the food she used. She already does his laundry. Were the clothes she washed that were hers in the loads? Are the washer and dryer she used bought by her?
Marriage is more than a competition. It is an all out partnership. When my wife is sick, I cook and clean. We both worked before I retired and because of the plans we made in our 20’s, and the money I make, she retired also. So everything we own is joint. Every major decision we both have to make is joint, never demanded, just decided in OUR best interest.
And because of the way we treat each other, we like each other, not work for each other. So we spend our time together and have an understanding what having a spouse is about that is successful.
The biggest thing to create diverse is when one feels the other doesn’t care about them on any topic that is important to one. And that’s when communication breaks down. And the union is no more.

Best of luck.
Sandwiches were invented in the 18th century. Life for women was much more enlightened and liberated in all of human societies throughout history until that fatal moment.
Well Said!
What a shame.
I waited on my (soon to be ex) wife hand and foot. If she looked thirsty, I’d get up to get me water, and then ask if she wanted me to get her a coke, or coffee, etc.
I did most of the cleaning (vacuuming, laundry) for the 5 of us (3 kids). I changed more diapers on the three kids than she did. I got up in the middle of the night more often than she did (she slept like the dead). Finally, apparently I talk down to her, and demean her, so she cut off all physical, and emotional contact. We became roommates. I crawled into a bottle where I wasn’t rejected, and worked many hours extra, where I was appreciated. Finally, I moved out about a year ago, and my kids blame me. I wish I hadn’t moved out now, and pray that in time it will be seen as both of us failed each other, because that’s what happened; both of us have blame. However, I love the kids, and will never talk bad about their mother in front of them. Man, if time travel were possible, there are things I’d change.
I serve my husband meals every day. I also clean the house and do the laundry. Big deal. All of these chores are part of my duty as a wife, and I am honored to do it.
Jesus was a perfect servant. He is utterly strong. He calls us to be servants. In Him we are strong!!!
My son, a doctor, was at a Friday night eat out with several of his co doctors and their wives when a discussion came up among the women about their dally married lives consisted of. When it came son’s wife turn to say something about her married life and what she did, she exploded with the following and later on acknowledged in divorce court that she said this in a very loud voice:
I DON’T COOK!
I DON’T CLEAN!!
AND I DON’T FxxK!!!
Son got his divorce but is still paying alimony as Mississippi mandates lifetime payment, unless remarry, which has not happened and not going to happen. An original feminist.
Gee, such a charming comment.
For both of us it's eggs, meat, huge sammiches, sugar, grease, milk, ice cream, butter, serious breads/rolls, cookies, desserts, etc. Just like our parents who all lived past 80s and her dad 90s. None of them or us were/are too chunky. No fake food for either of us, but moderation most of the time. Most.
Well, their behavior, in that case, will tell you all you need to know. To help them pack.
Have you attempted to have a conversation with her about this?
LOL
:)
My wife makes me breakfast and lunch to take to work and I greatly appreciate it when she does so and let her know. However, it has taken her 25yrs. to make a good sandwich. She for the most part avoids the kitchen, I usually cook supper.
Up until the last six months I was lucky to get a thin slice of ham or bologna and one piece of cheese on my sandwich. I would tell her you can put more than one piece of meat and cheese on there I won’t complain.
Finally one day after getting more bread that anything else I told her, I love you dear and I appreciate you making my lunch but you don’t work for a chain restaurant and I buy the food for the sandwiches for my lunch, can you stop being stingy with the lunches, I own this deli, I won’t complain if you put an extra slice of cheese, tomato or meat on there babe! She growled around a bit but now I get great lunches and I have made a point of thanking her.
