Oh boy, this is a good one. No matter how well you think you've got your finger on the pulse of the Left's vitriol and hate for everything traditional, nothing quite compares to when they actually open their mouths (or fire up their computer) and prove you've once again underestimated the magnitude of their degeneracy. As usual, the comments section is the best part.

I Look Down On Young Women With Husbands And Kids And I’m Not Sorry
Jan. 15, 2014

By Amy Glass


Every time I hear someone say that feminism is about validating every choice a woman makes I have to fight back vomit.

Do people really think that a stay at home mom is really on equal footing with a woman who works and takes care of herself? There’s no way those two things are the same. It’s hard for me to believe it’s not just verbally placating these people so they don’t get in trouble with the mommy bloggers.

Having kids and getting married are considered life milestones. We have baby showers and wedding parties as if it’s a huge accomplishment and cause for celebration to be able to get knocked up or find someone to walk down the aisle with. These aren’t accomplishments, they are actually super easy tasks, literally anyone can do them. They are the most common thing, ever, in the history of the world. They are, by definition, average. And here’s the thing, why on earth are we settling for average?
You should follow Thought Catalog on Facebook.

If women can do anything, why are we still content with applauding them for doing nothing?

I want to have a shower for a woman when she backpacks on her own through Asia, gets a promotion, or lands a dream job not when she stays inside the box and does the house and kids thing which is the path of least resistance. The dominate cultural voice will tell you these are things you can do with a husband and kids, but as I’ve written before, that’s a lie. It’s just not reality.

You will never have the time, energy, freedom or mobility to be exceptional if you have a husband and kids.

I hear women talk about how “hard” it is to raise kids and manage a household all the time. I never hear men talk about this. It’s because women secretly like to talk about how hard managing a household is so they don’t have to explain their lack of real accomplishments. Men don’t care to “manage a household.” They aren’t conditioned to think stupid things like that are “important.”

Women will be equal with men when we stop demanding that it be considered equally important to do housework and real work. They are not equal. Doing laundry will never be as important as being a doctor or an engineer or building a business. This word play is holding us back.


Did you ladies know that you're such mind numbing simpletons for being wives and mothers? Well Amy can tell you. She went to college. She has the accumulated wisdom of her (probably) 20 some odd years of being alive -- no thanks to the mindless dolt whose lack of career aspirations evidently resulted in her birth.

My standard response to such drivel? " And what job do you have that is so much more important than raising the next generation of Humans to be civilized and productive members of society vs self-involved individuals too intent on their personal careers and goals to be worried about continued survival of the species, or to be capable of the sacrifice it takes to raise a child... "

Amy believes having a career than enables her to take care of herself is more ...... erm ..... important and productive than having a "career" that entails taking care of more, and raising other, humans.  It's a twenty-year undertaking either way.  Who will be richer at the end of that, not counting toys?

Julia. Alone in her Garden of course.  Didn't you read the brochure? Feminism: Nature's way of making sure the worst women never procreate.

I ran across nothing but this type of woman for years...incapable of being in a partnership with a male, because, you know, anything that got in the way of what she  wanted personally was Misogyny. I ran into a good number of this type when doing Colorado Trail. Don't dare show her how to swing an axe properly. (someone had to show me once. I thanked him.)   They were up there to prove to themselves they could sleep alone in a tent.  Am man would never even have thought he couldn't.  You think backpacking through Asia makes you exceptional? You are you trying to prove that to? Not me certainly.  Anyone can backpack though Asia too.  All you need is the will to do it.

 I have friends - men earning good 6 figure incomes in their 40s  - who have simply given up looking.  They don't date. They don't see the point with most of the women out there in that age range being bitter old feminist hags like this girl is setting herself up to be.  Who needs that? She's been backpacking through Tibet and learned to put her wants and needs first -always and forever? And seriously they are giving the Milk away ( because they are strong confident women who don't need a man)  for free.  There really is no biological incentive to do so.  Both of these men I know would make good fathers and would enjoy being fathers.. And earning the money for an entire household is a responsibility -- its called division of labor and it makes  both parties in the partnership richer. She is right   Men don’t care to “manage a household.” - but it isn't because they don't see the job as important - they just know they would suck at it.

I'll tell you what -- I'm glad to be at home.  I hated working out of the house.  Don't get me wrong, there were good times and I loved two of my jobs, but given a choice, I'd have been happy to be at home with a couple-few little ones.  Gunsmith and I got married too late for the children, but for the last fifteen years, my job has been keeping the house with all that entails.

I painted the whole interior myself and we painted the exterior together, as well as built the garage (I was the contractor, organizing the different labor and equipment needs), lined the driveway with landscaping timbers and re-did the kitchen.  I've sewn, baked bread and done the shopping; we prepare most meals together now, but I do the heavy cooking, the cleaning, the laundry, balance the books and see the bills are paid on time.  I don't have to deal with the oblivions on the road, metroseckshul man, radical feminist racialist or "human resources" and this has saved me an ulcer ........ and jail time.

In spite of a serious illness side-railing for a few years, I'm an extremely fortunate and Blessed woman and to have a man who values me for all this.

Hearing about your male friends giving up, Weisshaupt, makes me sad for them.

I feel sad for them a bit too, but they aren't actually unhappy ( aside from the current govt situation that has us all unhappy) . One was married twice and lost two fortunes that way. Nicest guy in the world. The kid of guy who will drive 250 miles to come paint your barn with his paint sprayer  ( I am not making that up)  He is active in his church and just hunts a lot. He jokes that he is un-marriageable because he isn't willing to give up his hunting schedule so he would be gone every weekend for months..

The other is never married,  looked overseas - even traveled to the Eastern Block to meet women there (where apparently if you can find a man who won't get drunk and hit you, you are doing well)  He liked a lot of those women, but now, with this country in the state its in, he feels it would be criminal to bring one of those women into what he (as all of us do) fears is coming. He needs a wife really- tends to over-exert and extend himself and he needs that woman there to cluck and tell him to stop. Again, active in his church, hunting etc.

One echoed Dave Sim, and said if you learn to leave your pecker alone, it learns to leave you alone - and you get way more done.

I am sure if the right woman came along, neither  would reject her, but they aren't actively looking, and  if you aren't looking your chance of finding goes way , way down. At this point and at their age its slim pickings.

It's hilarious how feminazi's equally hate normal (non-beta) men and non-feminist woymens almost equally.

And hey, Weisshaupt, I can attest to that slim pickin's factor...plus living in libiotland...well...my dating activities have gone kaput.

The comments to Amy's rant are good.  And I really hope she never breeds...God, what a horrible mother that creature would be!

Yeah I'm in that "permanent bachelorhood looking more and more likely" boat as well. I think the most disconcerting part of it is that I have become comfortable with it. So many people I knew from high school and college have either gone through bitter divorces, or resigned themselves to unhappy situations, and the common denominator in almost all of their stories is the woman they got tangled up with. "Dude, stay single" is something I've been told by several friends. It'd be one thing if it was just that ha ha "men are from mars, women are from venus" situation, but it's more the particular type of woman in our age group that is very prevalent. I'm sure men aren't exactly that appealing these days either (Pajama Boy, etc) but women are the ones pushing some cultural crusade, and the consequences of a relationship souring are pretty much lose-lose for the men, and a lot are just deciding not to bother with it. For these guys who decide not to bother with it, some learn to accept long term bachelorhood, while others take it as license to become unapologetic womanizers. Grrrl Power!

Captain Capitalism has a good blog where the lopsided social/cultural power of modern women is an issue of frequent discussion. There is a not insignificant movement of single men in their prime earning years who have just decided "to hell with all that". Another mission accomplished for Cultural Marxism -- driving wedges into the natural relationship between men and women.

Of the "Phases" I am about run out.  The Plentiful Phase is way in the past.  The Date Friends of Married Friends Phase is over and was an unmistakable series of disasters.  (That whole "I'm married, why not you" thing was irritating...was never one of those "needy" guys that could not survive without another person).  The Date the Gal at Work, How Convenient Phase has come and gone with mixed results.  I passed on the Why Not Phase, never really much for "settling", call me old fashioned but there is a spark or there isn't...convenience and appearance just hold no appeal whatsoever with me.  I guess I am now in the Whatever Phase...I don't even know what to call it.  It's not that I've given up, just not gonna break my neck looking.  Not that I like everything about being a bachelor, but things could be worse...I've known more than one person trapped in a bad marriage, gone through bad breakups, split up kids and caused rifts with family and freinds...not that I fear risking that, but kinda glad I never had to be in that or worse the cause of something like that.  And it's not like I am completely set in all my ways, I can be flexible in things...looking back on it though always seems I worked harder at making a relationship work than the gal...well, whatever, it is what it is.

Interestingly, I know of only one member of my high school class who got divorced.

Many are now widows or widowers, and have remarried, but that doesn't count.

This is definitely a generational issue.  When feminism came along ( I personally blame modern appliances for making women too idle and giving them time alone  to "think"...)  they simply started teaching girls that housework is "demeaning" and putting a man's needs first as some form of slavery.  Yes, if the man never does the same in return,  then you have a problem in your relationship, but the problem isn't relationships as a concept- but so many women are taught that they are -- that Marriage is a form of Bondage.. its a failure of a woman to "take care of herself"

Even my wife has a hard time valuing her contribution to our life because of it - "All I do is Laundry, and clean, and drive kids around.."  ( oh and figure out how to run a self sufficient farm on five acres.. ) as if these weren't valuable contributions.. and as if she had no time for more mentally engaging work ( and granted when your kids are under five  you don't have even that time, but its temporary and it gets better with each passing day till you do..)  But I value her getting those things done, so I can concentrate on work, and then come home to that clean house and a much shorter list of things that need to be done. Society may not value her contribution  to my life and to my kids lives, but I don't really give a crap, and neither should any intelligent woman... but they are brainwashed you see.   I met so many attractive women I wouldn't even ask out because they were still "finding themselves" - i.e. "Doing whatever the hell they wanted, when they wanted, and with no desire for commitment and no capacity for compromise" - I was that rare man ready to commit, but I was 28 before I found a woman worth committing to. ( In fairness, I went to an East Coast Ivy, and then spend time in the People's Republic of Boulder.  I was NOT giving myself the best chances.)  But I don't think the chances improve much if you get out of that type of environment. One friend is in Wyoming, the other in Conservative Littleton.
Feminism just ruined women to the point where they aren't worth the effort because they are incapable mentally of making the effort.  They are convinced all they need to bring to a relationship is their lady-parts. ( because by the age of 35 they have noticed that is all any man has ever valued them for)  - and a good man is going to require more than that.  Yes men place an disproportionate value on a Woman's looks - (welcome to the planet)  but that only can buy you so much. What else ya got. And the sad fact is the only  other thing most of these women are carrying is the baggage of bad relationships, hate towards men in general,  and feminist lies turned  irrefutable dogma -- and I know because trying to find a woman who has "found herself" I was dating women 6-10 years older than me.  Its was more sad than frustrating - and most never wanted to have children at that point.. and I did.

I can only imagine its gotten worse.  Look at Japan- you have young 20 somethings who aren't even interested in sex. That is where we are headed - the is no way for a man to take care of anyone economically- women are cared for by the government ( I am woman, Hear me demand the govt take care of me and buy me condoms!)   and you might as well sit around and play video games all day to get a sense of accomplishment from a virtual world you can't get from this one.

Well, I wouldn't trade my life for hers for anything! I did the corporate world thing as a single woman.  Boring compared to the life I've had with my family. I'm good at what I do and I do it well.

Kudos to you and all moms, LV!

I have to include my lovely bride in that group. She quit working after our last son was born (they were 13 mo apart) and has done a superb job with our children. All of their good points she gets credit for. Any bad habits are naturally my fault. ::unknowncomic::

My very earliest memories are of my mom playing with toy cars and airplanes with me.  I was probably only about 2 years old.  There's a certain biological imperative at work, it's the natural order of things.  We monkey around with it and end up with unpredictable social maladies as a result.  I mean, does anyone really think there's no connection between societal disorders and the now-prevalent phenomenon of single mothers with kids who spend such a large part of their childhood basically farmed out to daycare centers?  But yeah, you're not allowed to point it out or even question it.

The single mom thing brings to mind another of those defining traits of liberalism. It takes a thing, a thing with a generally negative perception, and transforms it into something to be lauded and glorified. It's never enough to stop at "yes, this is not an ideal situation but that's no reason to unfairly make judgments about a woman or child just because they're in that situation". It always has to be taken further to the point of assigning some sort of automatic moral superiority to it.

My wife stayed hone with both of our kids until they could fend for themselves, then she took a job at a dry cleaners and went to night school for nursing.

In 1976 she graduated, went to work in a hospital as a nurse, changed hospitals, and retired in 2013.

She made me back off when I had our son up on the wall and threatened to beat the crap out of him for one of his many transgressions. His feet were off the floor!

He straightened out and has a good job now, and helps us out when we need things done around the homestead.

Our daughter makes over $130K in her job.
