When my kids are out with their dad, he will have multiple people come up and tell him what a great father he is and what great children he has. When I’m out with the kids (which is the majority of outings) not one person tells me what a great mother I am. We have such a low bar for men in our society. It is so low…

With all the self congratulation the average man does, I’ve never understood why I also am supposed to be licking on his balls basically non stop.

Um.... do you not understand men? We get smug when we can carry all the groceries in one trip because the second trip might as well be the Mogadishu mile.

You are not alone. I am also in the Husband-Does-Random-Chores club. I don’t think he realizes it at all, but it’s still awkward to be like, “Honey, do you think you could stop caulking the shower and maybe just vaccum the living room before your parents arrive for dinner?”

Honestly. The wife works from home 3 days a week and the nanny is probably there while she works at home, like my son is at daycare 5 days a week while I work outside the home. That’s not a luxury: they probably pay much less those of us with full-time daycare do. And someone having who comes in an hour or two twice a…

Asking for what you want is usually pounded out of us over the course of our young lives. It’s hard to get it back - but if you want to get healthy (in a holistic sense), it’s pretty much a requirement.

it was not giving his wife some time to herself too to reciprocate.

Exactly. He’s doing SOMETHING but not actually helping with the task at hand.

I don’t have sexist ladyfriends. I have sexist ladies on the fouth tier of friendship that I keep firmly on the outside. Why do I never invite you over for homemade cinnamon rolls neighbor Carol? Because I can’t listen to you without wanting to scream.

‘Women Correcting Grammar And Spelling Because There Is A Generation Of Men Who Don’t Know How’

That’s the dream, right? A man who cooks for you and can’t spell “our” correctly.

Analogue means something that is similar to something else - something that is analogous to something else. So I don’t think they actually meant analogy.

I did this recently with some old acquaintances who were talking about the Patrick Kane rape case. I was like, “Uh, if I single, near a hockey star like him, and the moment presented itself, I would have gone home with him. I wouldn’t have expected to get raped”. Someone I don’t really know that well, said, “But…

It really depends on how close you are to your friends. If they are casual friends, I would just let it slide. Pick your battles and this wouldn’t even be a pillow fight. But if you knew them really well, almost on a family level, then by all means, call them out. Even if it’s as simple as a, “Seriously?”

I stop being friends with them. And now, in my 27th year, I have thinned out my friend ranks because it’s not my job to educate or enlighten or try to change people’s minds. There’s no way in hell I can act civilly with the lady I went to high school with who’s intensely pro-birth/anti-choice. I don’t have the drive…

“Sexist or Practical?” sounds like it could be so amazing or so horrifying, entirely based on who was doing the judging.

Good luck. I’m married now, so she never gets to tell it again. It’s really the best advice I can give. Get married, and never get divorced, if for no other reason than they’ll only be able to tell the story once.

Exactly. Or that Christians are being persecuted. No, some Christians are disliked because they act like fucking assholes. Same with this thinspo lot. It isn’t the thinness or the Christianity, it’s the behavior.

It is sort of like Fox’s insistance that there’s a war on Christmas.

What is it with assholes who think everything is a zero sum game. No “thinspo” people, there is no backlash against you just because we are moving closer towards all body types acceptance. Furthermore, whatever shit you get is not because you are thin, it’s because you viciously ridicule anybody who doesn’t uphold…
