MSN: "8 Things She Hates About You"
Submitted by WakeUp on Thu, 2008-05-08 20:21
More and more double-standards in relationship articles show up when I log out of Hotmail.
From the article: "And we women can continue not telling you why we're mad, because we'll figure, "Hey, he should know already!" Besides, who said this would be fair?"
From the article: "If he wants to come on to me, he needs to ditch his gross dress socks and gym clothes and make an effort. Otherwise he ain't getting any."
From the article: "When it so happens that we're the one who wants sex and you're the one who doesn't, we find your refusal to be confusing and irritating. Reassure us that we're attractive and that you love us, but that you just aren't in the mood. It helps to throw out a hint at what's going on--that you're tired, depressed, anxious at work, whatever, says Aline Zoldbrod, Ph.D., a Boston-area psychologist. That way we won't obsess or be too pouty or aggressive. If we happen to be fresh off a girls' night out liquored up and ready for sex, which you're refusing, tread extra carefully. Horny can change to emotional, crying wreckage very quickly when your girl has a couple of glasses of Prosecco in her."
She feels entitled to deny sex when she wants, but to receive it when she wants, too. If he refuses he is expected to say how he feels about it and explain what is wrong after she made the point that she has the right to be unfair and not express herself to he knows what's up. I can not find a single reason why both shouldn't communicate and be understanding of what they hear from the other one.

I'm getting really tired of this crap from MSN
And one of the things that sucks about this article, is there isn't space for commentary by readers. None of us can publicly say anything about how hateful the author is.
A Normal Woman
The first quote reveals the woman to be infantile, selfish,unempathetic,and unreasonable.
The second quote reveals that she is basically a prostitute. (Trading sex for what she wants...)
In other words, a perfectly normal woman.
I have not read the article, but let me do some speculating...
Let us examine this quote:
"If he wants to come on to me, he needs to ditch his gross dress socks and gym clothes and make an effort. Otherwise he ain't getting any."
What are "gross" dress socks? If he's wearing dress socks with gym clothes, he is simply odd, and perhaps she is not attracted to odd people? Or, if she means his laundry or clothes lying around his room or something, how'd she get that far in his house if she doesn't like him? And what business is his dirty laundry to her anyway? Or, if she is referring to clothes he has worn in the past, say the gross dress socks on one occasion and the gym clothes on one or more others, why is she "sizing him up" each time she sees him? Can't she make up her mind? Also, isn't she objectifying him? As well as judging him by his appearance?
This sounds to me like a case where a woman knows some guy is interested in her and she kind of thinks it's neat, but on the other hand she's not head over heels, so she uses the scenario as an opening to be a mean obnoxious bitch. And not all that intelligent to boot.
okay, now I'll check out the article.

Princess Syndrome
Holy shit. I've read articles on this site for over three years. Most of the ridiculous ones come from the same fucking source. Did feminists hijack MSN.com or something? Let's have some fun:
You talk to us as if we're one of the guys.
Sorry, milady. You talk to us like we're one of the girls ("ohmigod, did you see Stacy's new shoes?") and we obviously don't give a shit but pretend to anyway. All that boring stuff is exciting for the guy just like all that stuff that excites you may not interest the guy. Humor us once in a while and pay your dues in that whole mutual respect thing.
You speak of the future vaguely.
That's just CYA talk. As far as not planning at the exact moment whether you are coming, maybe we don't want you to come to every single event (this probably means we're not married and we still have separate lives). Calm down and go out with the girls (you know, the events I can't dare bitch about because that's YOUR time).
You turn down sex.
I don't have to talk about this one. Everyone else on this site (including the summary) is doing a good enough job. Once again, if the princess demands something, there better be a good excuse if you can't give her what she wants.
Mind reading...
NOW do you cats see why I want to go to JAPAN for a woman?
Also, once again in this article I see the standard demand by most women these days for men to be MIND READERS.
"If you don't know what's wrong I'm not going to tell you!"
I mean what the hell do we men look like? The freakin' 'Amazing Kreskin'?
If what ever is "wrong" is bothering you so much, dear, then not telling him means you prolong your OWN "suffering".
I mean, ladies what the hell? What are you all, these days? Retarded...?
Gals, I've said it before I'll say it again; "Ambiguity is scary..." (and dumb)
Huoy...!

Ladies, remember; you can't preach EQUALITY while claiming SUPERIORITY. Dig?
One of the guys.
Oh, yeah, I LOVE this one.
"You talk to us as if we're one of the guys".
Well, Ladies..., stop ACTING like guys...,

Welcome Back, Thundercloud!
It's good to have you back.
As for the article, it certainly drips with garbage and female entitlement. You wanna know one thing I hate about women? The fact that put NO EFFORT whatsoever into relationships, b/c they don't have to. They're female. They just expect everything on a platter just because they have two Xs. Well, with me, you have to give respect to get respect. If a girl wants to be with me, she'll have to reciprocate, or else I'll trade up.
