To bad we can't get this printed on all the front pages of the newspapers across the country. Or implemented in our public school systems. I find it interesting that when someone actually tells the truth in this country it is such a big deal. Sort of telling isn't it? Most MRAs have known this all along, as well as the womyn that have twisted the truth.

No matter what we say, women will always hear what they want to hear.

For 12 years I was married to a woman who refused to work (though we desperately needed the money) because she didn't think she'd find a job that would fit with school hours. She'd sit at home and watch Jerry Springer and clean a bit, and then moan about how hard her day was.

Six months ago she left, and luckily for me she didn't take the kids. luckily again, my self-employed job has let me work from home a lot, so I've been able to raise the kids, clean the house and earn a salary all at once - a tough juggling act, but I've done it. In contrast, my ex works 9 to 5 as a receptionist, pushing an entry door button every now and then - and then going home to a small flat where she spends most evenings out.

And yet, she recently had the nerve to tell me that her workload was harder than mine, because 'you get to stay home every day'.

There is no logic that can touch that....

...NO!
This essay brings up too many facts about how much men have to work. We just can't have that in a feminist society.
Facts get in the way of the feminist agenda, dammit! And we just CAN'T have that!
(Yes I'm being sarcastic) :-)

My own experiences (families I have known well) (Score:1)

Although just a few experiences may not count much statistically, here are some of my own observations of some families I have known well continuously, over approx.the last 7 to 17 years.
1) Mr. L. is a 'Mr. Mom', almost single-handedly raising two children. He also works about 15 hours a week as a tutor. Ms. L. works 40 hours per week at her government office job. She periodically tells Mr. L. that he must work more hours.
2)Mr. H. is a Colonel in the Air Force. He has a tremendous amount of responsibility at work. His wife stays home and takes care of the 3 kids. When Mr. H. is at home, he spends a lot of time also engaged in raising them. He has never asked his wife to work.
3)Ms. D. is a medical doctor, working graveyard shift in the E.R. Mr. D. owns and runs a medical supply company. They both contribute evenly to raising the 2 kids.

There are 4 other families the details of which I will not include here, in order to make this post not too long-winded. But I can assure you these others are very similar to the above, in terms of total time and energy spent by each partner in working and raising the kids.
Sorry, if the feminist viewpoint were true, it seems that AT LEAST ONE of these families would consist of the laughable image they portray. Note: these (7 total) are ALL the families that I have known well, besides my own! (In other words, I am not leaving out any couples that would go against my viewpoint). They are all white and range from lower-middle, middle- and upper-middle class. There is a wide range of education, from no degree to Ph.D. and M.D.
Also note: Feminists are disgusting unethical jackasses, with quite a few personal issues and agendas. I am only 49 and in good medical shape, so hopefully I will live to see the day when they perish.

MOI!!

If women are such a great deal as wives and slaves (as feminists always imply), why has the number of never-married men over the age of 35 at least doubled over the last 20-25 yrs??
(I think I'm remembering the census stats correctly.)
Especially when you consider that the mainstream media always portrays single guys as being desperately in need of a mom to cook and clean for us.

Must be that we're just too stupid and lazy to go out and get a hausfrau...
