I help with the housework!

You know why I lose the respect of this type of woman? It’s because they are mature yet have no idea what makes them happy. Sure, give them a guy like this...and in a year they’ll be whining about how nice it would be sometimes to have a real man who just took control and didn’t always ask what they wanted.

[lakeman]

This should be a big hit in San Francisco.

Then there's the guy proffering a piece of cake, noting, "I don't like you looking so thin.''

And this is what he ends up with:

[dinoparty]

Me too. I do 50% of the house work. I don’t think it is as unusual as this article implies. Also, I hate the feminazi agenda, but I honestly believe that men whould share in child rearing duties, as it is better for the kids to have a hands-on father.

[windcliff]

It will be a be hit in West Hollywood.

[dinoparty]

LOL, who snapped that picture of Rosie?

The book has drawn some harumphs: Women posting on the feministing.com site felt the roles were outdated, and frankly, not that erotic. Watching a guy, however buff, put the toilet seat down didn't make them moan, some members wrote.

See, here's the problem. It's a funny idea and all, but I seriesly doubt it's effectivenes as an aphrodisiac.

a buff man in bed cocks his ears and asks, "Is that the baby? I'll get her.''

Shoot, that would do it for me! I'm happy to do my own housework, but a man who wasn't deaf to all sounds (including his own snoring) would be truly Inspiring.

Amen sister!

...and in a year they’ll be whining about how nice it would be sometimes to have a real man who just took control and didn’t always ask what they wanted.

More like two months. What this should really be called is the "Giant Feminist Picture Book of Perfect Emasculated Guys to Settle For". ;)

[najida]

Yeah,
preach it girlfriend!

[Tax-chick]

I’d even settle for, “Uh-oh, it sounds like the cat’s stuck in the garage again!”

But I can’t pick up the baby and let the cat in (and run the laundry, and clean up the kid who’s thrown up) all at the same time ...

(/rant)

[Shyla]

....while putting away the dishes :)

[Tax-chick]

LOL! Good point.

[absolootezer0]

be jealous of my wife. :)

i’m usually up with her before my wife even realises anything is wrong.

[andyssister]

Sounds like a funny book.

Unfortunately I clicked on the feministing link. What a bunch of humorless shrews.

*shudder*

[Tax-chick]

Sigh. *One minute jealousy pause*
