Considering that I was the breadwinner in several of my long-term relationships, no...I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Ok, well sorry but I just said that to see what you would say. It would go against everything that I have ever been or been taught as a man. I couldnt let you go work for bill money while I sat at home. I'm not that guy, lol.

I wouldnt take your freedom though. If that didnt appeal to you you can always leave if you want to and divorce me! I wish you well...

As an aside may I ask you why you were never Married? Several of your long term relationships was not several of your marriages, so that has me curious about why there were several of them and never marriage? Were the men abusive toward you or something? Cheaters?

Why did you choose bad men several times? Is this not a reflection of the type of man that is attractive to you? Why would you keep choosing the same type of man?
Do you have more than one baby's daddy's?

I was married one time for 26 years. Oh I had girlfriends before that but I always asked myself if I can see myself getting married to this girl and if not took appropriate steps to ensure that didnt happen. My ex-wife is the only woman on earth who has my children also.

So why do you think you keep making poor choices with men? One would think that perhaps after bad man #2 that you would catch on, whoa I have to choose better. I have to...learn to say no.....??

Agreed.

Men have two great aspirations in life. To have a good name in their Family and to have a good name in their work. Make sense? Yes.

What is womans two biggest complaints in men?
1. He's a bum and wont work...
2. He's always working and never here...

There is a fine line between the two. If a man puts too much attention to either way, the other suffers! Spending more time with her being romantic costs a man money. Time off take a trip somewhere? Vacation? Even more money.
Too much of that and she's like, get a job boy. Go back to work, lol. Never satisfied.

Why does a woman have to "march in the streets" in order to be a "REAL" feminist?
Not really an answer to my question. I’m disappointed but not surprised.

Feminism is evil and its disregard for men, women, children and babies is seen at every turn.

I never said that they "sat home" (although at times they did, mostly feeling sorry for themselves) while I worked. I said I was the breadwinner, meaning that I made more money than they did. No, I wasn't some 'high-powered' woman trying to climb the corporate ladder. I just wanted to work at a job I liked, and made enough money so I could reach into my pocket and pay for a few extra's now and then.
I wouldnt take your freedom though. If that didnt appeal to you you can always leave if you want to and divorce me! I wish you well...
I agree that being married means that you voluntarily give up SOME freedoms.
As an aside may I ask you why you were never Married? Several of your long term relationships was not several of your marriages, so that has me curious about why there were several of them and never marriage? Were the men abusive toward you or something? Cheaters?
I WAS married. Twice. As for why MOST of the long-term relationships didn't result in marriage, well...
I did a lot of soul searching about this. I realized that it took me (notice the PAST tense) to really get to know someone well enough. Well enough to trust you...well enough to be able to depend on you...well enough to see how you react in stressful situations, or how you handle money.

Were they abusive? Cheaters? In some cases, yes to both questions. In other cases, it just wasn't a good 'fit'.
Why did you choose bad men several times? Is this not a reflection of the type of man that is attractive to you? Why would you keep choosing the same type of man?
Do you have more than one baby's daddy's?
Again, part of my soul searching. It's not that I 'picked' bad men several times. Bad men USUALLY don't reveal themselves as 'bad' right away. If they did, PLENTY of women wouldn't have anything to do with them.

Back then, I had no idea what the 'red flags' were. If a man gets angry and punches a wall, women are told, "Well, that's just how men express their anger." And they're often told this by OTHER WOMEN.

I have 2 adult daughters by the same man.
I was married one time for 26 years. Oh I had girlfriends before that but I always asked myself if I can see myself getting married to this girl and if not took appropriate steps to ensure that didnt happen. My ex-wife is the only woman on earth who has my children also.
For a long time, I didn't consider marriage as something I actually wanted. To me, it was simply something that eventually happened. another 'step' in life. Never occurred to me that I could CHOOSE to marry or not marry. It was simply expected of me.

Seriously, of the men I dated, I could only see myself being married to...and growing old with...with less than a handful of men.
So why do you think you keep making poor choices with men? One would think that perhaps after bad man #2 that you would catch on, whoa I have to choose better. I have to...learn to say no.....??
Like I mentioned earlier, many of those 'bad men' keep their bad side hidden. Even my late husband told me (after we were married) that a "guy can't keep up that CHARADE forever." Once we married, he CHANGED.

Geez LuEEZ, what kind of answer did you expect? Where are all the feminists in that regard? Seriously?

Wrangler, you're trying to pigeonhole ALL feminists into ONE mindset. Do you REALLY think that ALL feminists aren't feminists unless they're marching in the street for a cause? Unless they're mean angry "man-haters"?
Feminism is evil and its disregard for men, women, children and babies is seen at every turn.
Feminism in its TRUE SENSE isn't "evil". You only see it as "evil" because you still see yourself as being 'superior' to women in general.

LOLOL!!! Talk about delusional! Most single men I've met have ONE aspiration in life, and that's to have as many ORGASMS as they can with a woman!
What is womans two biggest complaints in men?
1. He's a bum and wont work...
2. He's always working and never here...
It depends. IS he a bum and won't work, especially if SHE'S working?
And is HE putting in MORE HOURS THAT'S REQUIRED of him?

Did HE ever ask HER what SHE wanted from HIM?
There is a fine line between the two. If a man puts too much attention to either way, the other suffers! Spending more time with her being romantic costs a man money. Time off take a trip somewhere? Vacation? Even more money.
Too much of that and she's like, get a job boy. Go back to work, lol. Never satisfied.
Nowadays it doesn't cost a "man" money. It costs a couple money.

And being "romantic" doesn't cost a DIME if you KNOW how to be 'romantic'.

Now look, it's not my fault that the men you pick are all bums and the only thing they bring to the table is their seed. I'm not one of those guys and your poor choices do not change my truth, LOLOL!!! ;) I must have hung out with a better crowd than you do?

It depends. IS he a bum and won't work, especially if SHE'S working?

How in the world would I know something like that? I never dated women like you. I learned how to say no early, lol.

Nowadays it doesn't cost a "man" money. It costs a couple money.

And being "romantic" doesn't cost a DIME if you KNOW how to be 'romantic'.

It wasnt like that in my day. Or maybe I just made more money than you? Or maybe you could be saying you "need" to work is a lie and you just want to get out there?

Being romantic used to not cost a dime or much (if you had the right girl).
In my early days, I found myself broke for some reason on what was supposed to be some sort of present day for the girl (Birthday? Valentines?) I forget which. So having no money I had to get real creative and be super romantic or I was gonna look bad to her!

You will laugh at it now and all women would prolly spit in my face for such a (low down dirty trick!!!) as this would be in todays world. I put seven small things wrapped seperately in a much bigger box in tissue paper so she had to searcg for them. One was a hand written list of the reasons why I love her, one was a small heart shaped candle that said I love you on the tin, one was a roll of LifeSavers! (Genius!), and, oh I forget what the rest of it was it was almost two eons ago, lol! And so I gave her this big box all wrapped up nice, and she said at once, Hey you cant afford anything big for me, you didnt have to do this...and I said, I didnt, just open it. And it took her awhile to go through it and find everything and she realized that more effort than money was put into this box and she found that very romantic and said so! So I won that time, Lol!

A woman like you would scoff at such a gift! I chose wisely. And later on her husband did build himself up to being a 6 figure husband, which ruined all that but it worked at the time.

Misogyny was given quite a bit of negative press during former US President
Donald Trump's administration; while misandry was condoned as if it were
acceptable. But malice is unacceptable with God on any level; and I think we
have to agree to the possibility that there are just as many, if not more,
man haters in Hell as there are woman haters because women are not a
protected species with God; nor is their gender a mitigating factor. They will
be judged solely on the basis of their lives the same as men.

Rom 2:9-11. .There will be trouble and distress for every human being
who does evil: For God does not show favoritism.

* The disturbing scene depicted at Rev 20:11-15 will be presided over by
none other than the sweet little babe away in a manger.

John 5:21-23 . . Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all
judgment to the Son

Acts 17:31 . . He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice
by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by
raising him from the dead.

I would very much dislike to be a woman infected with misandry because in
the end, it will be a "toxic male" that dooms man-hating women to the lake
of fire and thereby permanently ruin any chances they might have had for
happiness in the future. For all eternity, those hostile females will grind their
teeth with hot tears and clenched-fist fury that they ultimately lost out on
everything because of one lone man's obsessive control over their lives. Hell
is bad enough as it is, but I would imagine that existing there seething with
rage makes one's circumstances there a hell within Hell.

Unfortunately, one does not always know RIGHT AWAY that they made a poor choice until so much time has passed. As I said before, people in general don't always make their intentions known right away...and put their best foot forward until so much time has passed to where they feel 'safe' to reveal their true selves.

It's not about me hanging out with a certain crowd. I had a boyfriend in college for two years, who is a good man. But our goals were in different places. We split up amicably and are still friends to this day. I moved 3000 miles away about 18 months after our split. And after that, I wasn't 'running' with a crowd.

I have not been with someone in the better part of a decade, simply because I see what's out there. And I'm not ONLY talking about MEN; So many women are JUST AS BAD.
How in the world would I know something like that? I never dated women like you. I learned how to say no early, lol.
Women 'like me' said 'no' too. But what that showed me, was that the men I met were pretty much interested in ONE thing.
I was classified as a 'prude' in college in the mid 70's because I wouldn't 'put out'. I didn't care. Not my style. I didn't care what feminism was teaching women about how they can 'act like men' in a sexual sense.
It wasnt like that in my day. Or maybe I just made more money than you? Or maybe you could be saying you "need" to work is a lie and you just want to get out there?
You probably DID make more money than me. It wasn't about "getting out there". It was a matter of survival, WITHOUT my parents AND without a man in my life. Gone were the days where a woman went to high school and maybe college to 'find a husband'. I wasn't looking for a husband in college. I had no idea if I would even FIND one.
Being romantic used to not cost a dime or much (if you had the right girl).
In my early days, I found myself broke for some reason on what was supposed to be some sort of present day for the girl (Birthday? Valentines?) I forget which. So having no money I had to get real creative and be super romantic or I was gonna look bad to her!
Ok....

You don't know what a "woman like ME" is like. I'm VERY sentimental. You would have "had" me at the handwritten list of the reasons why you loved me. And the lifesavers? PERFECT!

And I wouldn't have cared if you made 6 figures...I married BOTH of my husbands when they were unemployed.

Not all feminists are created equal. Why don't you GET that?

Not all feminists are created equal. Why don't you GET that?

That was the hardest part of putting that box together is making that list of 50 reasons I love her. I really had to use some bring power there because 5 or 10 reasons is easy but 50 is a Lot longer! And I really had to look deeply to see these things on her and articulate them. It's easy to look at a person and see good in them. But can you do it 50 times? Whoa. I remember that.

I admit your replies do surprise me. You have said some things that I didnt expect. I, dont get that not all feminists are created equal because typically, women lie ever so much. She could have been having a 10 year extended affair on her man and when she gets caught she's all, it was one mistake, it was the first time and all that crap. Women always want to appear innocent and pure but 99.9999% of the time, they aint. My experience has shown me that for every one thing that women will admit to, there are 25 other things that she wont tell you. So I have a hard time believeing women in what they say.

And you stand up for feminism so yeah there's some angst in there somewhere and seeing you are a woman how could I not think, women like you.
If you want me to believe you more perhaps you should not talk down the biblical principles that were in place for long before you & I ever came about.
You have a problem with God's precepts and rules, but you are holding it against men.
A proverbs 31 wife would not do that.

.
Eph 5:22 . .Wives, submit to your husbands as to The Lord.

In other words; it's not the husband himself who merits his wife's best
behavior, rather, it's his position in the home. For example:

"To the woman he said: Your husband . . he will rule over you." (Gen 3:16)

Adam was ranked superior to Eve not because of his gender, rather, because
he was the senior of the two, i.e. Adam was born first; thus all men,
including Christ, are entitled to seniority relative to women simply by virtue
of the fact that they are Adam's paternal descendants.

So then:

"Demonstrate your fear of God by standing up in the presence of elderly
people and showing respect for the aged. I am The Lord." (Lev 19:32)

Rising to one's feet for the elders among us carries over to revering God
because He too is an elder among us. God likely doesn't look His age--
except maybe in a figure of speech, e.g. Dan 7:9 --but we really should keep
in mind that He's among us as not only a better, but also a senior. So we
would do well to step aside for God, carry His bags, and/or hold a door open
for Him not only because he's a deity and a monarch, but mainly because He's
older.

The Greek word for "submit" is the very same for submit in Eph 5:21 which
shouldn't be taken to mean wives are supposed to take orders from their
husbands as if marriage were an arrangement similar to a monarch and a
commoner. What we're talking about here is deference rather than obedience.

Deference is agreeable, approachable, tactful, and diplomatic. Deference
isn't confrontational, demanding, assertive, militant, dominating, nor always
clamoring: I am woman! Hear me roar!

In a nutshell: deference is just the opposite of defiance. Christian wives
striving for equality with their men have not yet learned what it means to
associate with a husband as they would The Lord.

I learned that early, if ya aint got money then you gotta be extra romantic, lol. l.
She had a ball going through the box to find them and stuff!

Being romantic isnt hard to do but one does have to put some thought into it.

It's surprising to me that you can see that it was romantic. I thought you might be like other feminists and get mad at me and yell at me. I guess that shows that you can be a thinking woman! Good on ya for that.

What in the world...? That was terribly romantic of you! And the 'romantic' in ME, would be saving the Lifesavers wrapper...and melting a splatter of wax from the candle onto the paper that said, "I love you"...and pressing it all into some hard plastic, adding the date it was given to me. I might even make the Lifesavers as a "thing" between us. Present you with a pack every so often with the words, "You were MY Lifesaver. I hope I can be yours."

Unwrap. Eat. Enjoy, while I go fix the toilet! :jest:

One manifestation of the evil ideology of feminism is appealing to a women's susceptibility to covet, which is the Original Sin. This pathway uses the alluring phrases, "Don't Settle" and "You can have it all." Now as you read this joke, keep in mind the reason that jokes are funny is because there is an element to truth to it.


The Husband Store

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:

You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but cannot go back down except to exit the building!

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.

She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

"That's nice," she thinks, "but I want more."

So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads:

Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:

Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop- dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that
women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.

The first floor has wives that love sex.

The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer.

The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.
