Quote: Manly men liked us, and we where happy being pretty, wearing dresses and makeup, being good mommies and wives, and often managing work.

I completely agree that masculinity needs to be salvaged from the wrekage brought on by liberal “me first, but recognise my feelings” attitude. However, as a woman I take offence to the statement I quoted above. We do not exist to satisfy men. I am a TRUE CONSERVATIVE, and I don’t appreciate ANYONE telling me what I should or should not be doing. Be it 0 or anyone else, nobody tells me what to do. My life is great because I choose to make it that way, not because someone tells me what’s appropriate or acceptable. If you like being given the definition of “woman” by someone, go ahead and join the dems, they love to tell people what’s acceptable. I’ll continue to celebrate my FREEDOM as a citizen of The USA!!!

As a single mom I say this: stay away, you’re holding 50% of the country from being taken seriously about everything that’s wrong right now!!!!!

” Manly men liked us, and we where happy being pretty, wearing dresses and makeup, being good mommies and wives, and often managing work.”
What I resent by the above statement is its trivialization of what it means to be a woman. The women who helped their men plow through the wilderness of America to make the greatest nation in the world were not concerned with being some later relic of Victorian boredom, they were true helpmeets to their husbands. What the author is describing sounds more like some insipid portrayal taken from a ‘50s sitcom than from real life. Somehow, from her language in the article, she doesn’t seem to fit her ideal.
