Men Just Want Mommy

New York Times ^ | January 13, 2005 | Maureen Dowd

[Jim Noble]

Well, if mommy looks like this, maybe:

[glockmeister40]

There are two kinds of women out there - sweet or smart. I'll take sweet over smart any day.

[Jeff Blogworthy]

Moral: It is fine for women to whine for someone who "meets their needs" - but when men want the same thing - it must be because they are threatened my powerful women.

Yes Mistress Dowd.

[MEG33]

"Mommy"? LOL...(I know it is required posting)

[Jeff Blogworthy]

correction "my" = "by"

[capt. norm]

Mo is still looking for excuses as to why she got dumped.

[Syntyr]

Dude... You mom is HOOOTTT!

[Nataku X]

Oh geez. Dowd needs a psychologist bigtime... I've never known anyone to exemplify bitterness quite as well as she does.

[new cruelty]

Hubba hubba hubba.

[Rummyfan]

"I haven't dated in 12 million years," she said drily.

And she looks it! Sounds like Mo has a huge bug up her. Thanks for ther CZJ picture.

[wildcatf4f3]

I like the old "Viginwhore" type myself.

[theDentist]

Sounds like Maureen is going thru a mid-life crisis.

[camle]

what a bunch of baloney! maybe the women down hangs with are repellant to good men? I mean who wants to marry a girl who plays feminazi games all the time?

if ya wanna get married, become the marrigable type.

BTW: My lady is both sweet AND smart.

[Congressman Billybob]

Dowd is turning into a rotting mummy who is unwrapping herself in public. This isn't about women in general dealing with men in general. Instead, it is about Maureen self-destructing without understanding the reasons, in print. It isn't pretty. But it is well-earned.

This story is a whole boatload of crap. Nothing has changed, Men have always wanted wives who act like wives. Women who want to raise children and be at home for them. The traditional role of the male breadwinner hasnt changed , he male still wants to be the breadwinner, the guy who provides for the wife, That hasnt changed a bit.

Today many women want to be equal with men and thats fine I suppose, its just that most men dont want them that way. Feminists made their bed , now they have to either sleep in it or start acting like women again. It has nothing to do with men wanting to be kings, They just want to be men in the traditional role.Its not the men who are into this changing roles thing its the women, and its sending the divorce rate thru the roof.

[kattracks]

again...

[kittymyrib]

Poor Maureen...she thinks she's too smart for men. Actually, it's the other way around.

[bikepacker67]

Women, by contrast, did not show a marked difference in their attraction to men who might work above or below them.

Bullshyt!

[clee1]

Ohhhhhhhh!!!!

NOW I see.... Dowd wrote that bullsqueeze.

Simple: men want a life partner - they don't want to spend a lifetime competing with their mate.
