Talk about dumb broads

If women are so smart, why are they so dumb?
And before you get your panties in a bunch, I'm entitled to criticize females because the last time I checked, I'm one of them. Katie bar the door, I'm about to be incredibly politically incorrect.
Women have been sold a bill of goods, which they bought hook, line and sinker. Ever since the '60s, when the brunt of feminism hit the media, the message was clear: Go for it! You can have (be, do, experience) everything!
There's only one problem. It isn't true. Never was. Never will be.
But men knew that. Lost in the burst for female "freedom" was the ugly truth that men, who supposedly had "everything" that women were being denied, were really victims of a system that kept them prisoner.
It was the price they paid for being men. Their role in life was to be the breadwinner, the master of the home, the head and protector of the family, the person ultimately responsible for the survival of his tribe and the soldier-protector of his country.
He had to be brave, smart, hard working and supportive of the family. He had to be husband, father, son, sibling, uncle, neighbor, friend. He had to work to earn the means to play all those roles, and he had no choice.
This isn't to say there weren't scoundrels. Of course there were – men who deserted their women and children, who drank or gambled the family earnings, or womanized their way through marriages which hung together for "the sake of the children."
Guys like that aren't new and are still around. In fact, women's liberation has been great for men who prefer to chill out, and societal changes make it easy.
Want sex? Take your pick. Chicks are there for the asking; in fact, they'll compete to be the "chosen one" for the day. Or night. No questions. No promises. How great is that?
Don't want kids? No worry. There's all kinds of prevention (sounds like a plague, doesn't it?) with most of the responsibility on her. And if they don't "work" and a new life gets in the way, just get rid of it. It's legal, private and accepted. And if she's really a "today woman," she might not even tell you and just "take care of things" on her own. What a gal! What a life!
Don't want marriage? Duh. Just live together. Get the bennies and avoid the legal technicalities. Get tired of that? Leave. Hey, the door is always open.
Women's liberation freed men from responsibility. It encouraged women to "find" themselves. They were urged to "go for it" careerwise.
Of course they could do it. Women are smart and able to work hard and succeed. But by doing it, they walked right into the trap that men had been in all along.
Now they find themselves in careers that are time-consuming, require travel away from home and envelop their lives. In that sense, women turned into what they originally disliked about their men and in the process, made the ugly discovery that a major tradeoff was the signature of their femininity. They gave up or lost the opportunity to be a wife and a mother. Why weren't they smart enough to see that?
A new book by Sylvia Ann Hewlett, "Creating A Life," comes to the conclusion, after surveying nearly 1,200 high-achieving career women, that they missed life. One was quoted as saying "I forgot to have a child."
Forgot? Give me a break! Any woman who "forgets" so basic a part of the female psyche isn't smart enough to be considered a high achiever. Either that or today's standards aren't what they're cracked up to be.
Women always had to choose. The choice for career meant sacrificing the family role. And that is the key. Sacrifice. Women are supposed to have been liberated from sacrifice. They are supposed to be able to have and do it all. Except for the fact that it doesn't work.
The real tragedy of Hewlett's findings is the real, human loss to those women. By the time they realize the loss, they're too old biologically to have a child, and too old socially to find an appropriate man to marry. If she's been divorced or earns too much money, it's even harder.
As for the men, as the old saying goes, why buy the cow when the milk is free?
It makes you wonder who women's liberation really liberated?
Barbara Simpson, "The Babe in the Bunker" as she's known to her KSFO 560 radio talk-show audience in San Francisco, has a 20-year radio, television and newspaper career in the Bay Area and Los Angeles.
Sounds like you have been richly blessed with a wonderful wife and daughter.
Those Arizona allergies are really getting to me.
Whether or not she's charming, and whether or not your dad approves of her has no bearing on the fact that what you're doing is immoral.
Maybe you have no interest in morality. And maybe you're not religious, but you may be interested in some simple facts. First of all, couples who co-habitate before marriage are far more likely to break up.
The issue is TRUST. In the many cohabitting arrangements that I've seen, most of the time the woman waits around hoping to get married someday. Then after many years either the man dumps her or the woman decides to move out preemptorally.
After this breakup, both parties are far more wary of jumping into relationships. This first break-up paves the way for a lifetime of broken relationships.
I've seen it as have many others here, I'm sure. Far better to be a MAN and get all of your cards on the table now.
Not 'bad', just immoral and foolish. Unlike liberals, most conservatives hold their moral beliefs as important as their political beliefs. Morality aside, shacking up with a woman is simply playing at marriage and committment and although it can lead to marriage it can also lead to a brief marriage and an inability to trust and commit to a real relationship down the road. Your loss.
As the article in question states, the liberal feminists helped make this situation, where otherwise decent young women would shack up with otherwise decent young men, play house and act all grown-up, only to split when it became boring or problems arose, which is, sadly, what will probably happen to you.
The women believe this is normal and 'liberating' and the men simply take what's offered by the women; free sex with no need to commit to anything. A boon for guys, a losing deal for women, and they still believe this kind of bahavior is 'liberating'. Foolish. Your father's agreement with this shack-up situation you've gotten into is also pathetic but, again, rather typical of many parents who still believe that 'getting some' is the mark of a son's manhood and 'getting some' with no committment on the man's part, even better. Wrong and misguided.
As I stated, FR members may share your conservative political views but feel bad that you use a foolish, misguided girl for your pleasure and see this as something to be proud of and brag about. Having sex doesn't make you a man. Being a committed husband and (eventually) father does. When you grow up you'll (hopefully) learn the difference.
Yeah, Fonz was okay in character. Henry is very liberal, extreme left-wing on just about every issue, i.e., typical Hollyweird type. He had a very short-lived TV comedy take-off on Rushski's show back in '94 (Monty). It was an utter failure, a total stinkbomb.
Seriously, though, I have no reason to wish you ill in your relationship. I hope it works out. I tried such a lifestyle briefly back in the early '70s and found it lacking. There's more to building a life with someone than cooking, cleaning, and hitting the sack. Having a lifetime relationship with my spouse and raising a family is much more fulfilling, and challenging.
And I'm sure you know this how? Perhaps you should go down to the local abortion clinic and watch all the nice, middle class NON-crack whores get driven in by their mamas and boyfriends.
This might be of some concerned to some of the women, but typically a guy like weikel looks at this as a PLUS, not a negative. He sees it as a free pass on to the next shack-up honey.
Using your juvenile logic, all women who have ever been pregnant are crack whores. Sounds like you know a whole heck of a lot of crack whores. Your Katie Holmes sounds like a Crack Whore in training. I am sure her parents are so proud that she is a shack up.
