Ok,
Heather sent this to me a couple days ago and, after reading it I feel for any male who's been in any or all of these situations. It's a "Danged-If-You-Do-Danged-If-You-Don't World," huh men?
(This would be a great entry for Girls-Suck.)
Men, you can't win no matter how hard you try.
If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race, then you're a male chauvinist.
If you stay home and do the housework, then you're a pansy.
If you work too hard, then there is never any time for her.
If you don't work enough, then you're a good-for-nothing bum.
If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, this is exploitation. If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, then you should get off your butt and find something better.
If you get a promotion ahead of her, then that is favoritism. If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.
If you mention how nice she looks, then it's sexual harassment. If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.
If you cry, then you're a wimp. If you don't, you're insensitive.
If you make a decision without consulting her, you're a chauvinist. If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.
If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination. If she asks you, it's a favor.
If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep in shape, then you're a sexist. If you don't, you're unromantic.
If you try to keep yourself in shape, then you're vain. If you don't, then you're a slob.
If you buy her flowers,then you're after something. If you don't, you're not thoughtful.
If you're proud of your achievements, you're up on yourself. If you don't, you're not ambitious.Poor guys. When put this way, we women seem to have it pretty good. But this also paints us as shallow, grasping, manipulative creatures. Which is not fair to some of us who try to give our men a fair break. I honestly posted this for a few laughs and to comiserate with the guys. At the same time, it makes me think. Yesterday, p6 from Girls-Suck posted an entry called Backwards Day. She suggested guys and gals switch roles for a day. They would over-analyze everything as most women do and we would float through life as men do. It might not be a bad idea to have a role reversal once a month. What do you think?
