Sauce For the Gander

From Men’s News Daily:

“Why do women and feminists seem to care more about the so-called pay-gap (which is a myth) than the female-dominated spending gap? Why do some women expect to spend most of the money that the man made?

*Why are there seemingly so many more chivalrous male feminists than female masculists [sic]?

*Why do many men treat women as “queens” when many women treat men as “worker bees”?

*Why are so many men “took to the cleaners” after a divorce? Don’t men have feelings like women do?

*How many women are willing to support a stay-at-home husband (and let him spend a large portion of her money)?

*Why do “tomboys” and “daddys girls” seem to be considered charming or cute while “mama’s boys” and “jill girls” seem to elicit images of laughing stocks that still live with their parents and are too “unmanly” or “lazy” to deserve a girlfriend?”

 

My Comment:

Obviously, I post this somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Women do experience discrimination and difficulties in certain areas of the work-place, beyond what might be expected by an equally skilled male.

And while it’s true that men, more than women, are expected to perform in the workplace…it’s also true that women, more than men, are expected to perform outside the workplace – in the family. The author forgets the expectations placed on women in the area of physical looks….and housework (for most of the world, at any rate)…in maintaining the family and its relationships..

    Again seems like we are in a wave of myth busting, reality arising and ensuing disapoinment. What we have is not just a meltdown of an economy but of beliefs, myths fantasy and the very stuff that animates the american mind such as it is. Good to clear the mental and cultural rubbish but what will be the reaction. I fear more violence, depression and suffering. Ideally, reality, honesty and self reliance will replace belief in corporate and political propaganda. The brittleness of everything is palpable. Of course it could just be a few of us crazies that see this but somehow I think its fairly widespread.

  2. Very well said R … or in other words, “a boot on the face of mankind forever” or something to that effect.

    … what will be the reaction…?
