"I can get money without working for it by having a child, be I rasising it or not, I can cry and yell and have people arrested if I lie. If I whine, it's not bad, because I'm 'just upset at the unfair gender bias in this MAN's world'. I can kick and claw and hurt my husband, but he can't hurt me because that would be DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. I can act out gender setryotypes by having a gladiator-esque deathmatch for a tank top, and then write angry letter to a comedian when he says something about that. I can avoid all the really tough/dangerous occupations, be they in the workplace or in the home, because I'm 'sensitive', and at the same time I'll demand to be treated like an equal in the workplace. I can avoid the draft, and still vote and petition to send men off to war. Then I can blame men for all the violence in the world. I can educate young girls to be zealots, but it's not WRONG, it's EXPRESSING HER FREEDOM TO BE A WOMAN."
Any more?

I'll throw in my hat...
You cannot air our dirty linen in public because that's coarse and unfeeling, but I can make the most intimate comments in front of your family, friends, even children about you because that's my perogative.
If you get mad or defensive, I'll just claim you can't take a joke.
I can tell you that I seek love and commitment and a partner who values both me and my children, but if you actually offer it, I'll claim that I don't "feel it" with you.
If you ask what "it" is, I'll claim that you're pidgeon-holing me.
If I meet your kids for the first time, I can speak critically of them because I'm a mother and I'm allowed, but you can't say anything short of glowing praise for mine because I'm their mother and they are a part of me.
I'll sleep with any man that catches my drunken eye because I'm exercising my sexual perogatives. You can't so much as glance at another woman without my assuming that she's prettier than me in your eyes.
No man will ever own me or curtail my behavior, but if you don't cater to my every whim, I'll dump you and make sure no other woman ever wants you.
I can and often do have headaches. You are a light switch and can turn it on and off whenever I say.
Scratching yourself is gross, and I won't want to touch you if you do it, but if I go a couple of days without bathing and the hair on my legs is as long as your beard, you better tolerate it and spoon with me.

I have been reading this strip since it premiered in the Chicago Sun-Times a couple of months back.
These people/characters are headed toward divorce court. IMO. Their communication skills are nil, the wife and husband don't understand nor try to understand each other and worse, they don't trust each other's motives. Which all spell TROUBLE.
