Offend A Feminist: Love Honor And Obey [Updated Below]
It’s the [sadly] last day of National Offend A Feminist Week
as declared by Dr. Robert Stacy McCain.
‘I’m glad you asked: I AM FEMINISM:
DESTROYER OF WORLDS!’
If I may be serious for one moment…
One of the most disheartening things to come out of the Feminist Movement™ is the disturbing trend by brides-to-be to demand that the wifely promise to ‘obey’ be removed from the ceremony. Most men, having been brow-beaten all their lives about how evil men were to women in the past with the result that they have been turned into simpering, faded shadows of manhood and, frankly, because they just want to get the damn thing over with with as little discomfort as possible, acquiesce without a fight [BTWFYI: not me; I fought]. As in any situation where there is no law and order, no clear authority recognized, this has led to much conflict within marriages. Let me clarify my position a bit: I believe in marriage two become one [the prayer that’s made is that the union not be ‘torn asunder’], that the man and woman compliment each other. Stacy McCain puts it very well:
…traditional marriage is based on the assumption that men and women are fundamentally different, and hence, unequal. Traditional marriage assumes a complementarity of the sexes that becomes absurd if you deny that “man” and “woman” define intrinsic traits, functions, roles.
Dead solid perfect.
However, if chaos and, therefore, conflict are not to ensue in a marriage, one of the people in the sacred union must be the final authority. Even those who advocate pure democracy understand the need for a leader [albeit they believe in rotating them with alarming frequency]. This authority rests much easier on the shoulders of the man. One of the main differences between men and women is that men tend to be calmer emotionally and take actions based more on Right Reason. This is an essential quality in every successful leader. It is true that some men [who are not gentlemen, I may add] are tyrants, taking their role to the extreme. In America, however, women have the right [I would say, the duty, if they have children] to extract themselves from such a situation and, very importantly because law enforcement cannot wrap a protective cocoon around them, women have the right to bear arms against men who are abusive [as Mrs. Other McCain puts it: Some men just need killin’].
The Feminist Movement™ has hurled so many calumnies at this clause in the marriage vows that men and pastors and padres have yield to the butch bra-burners and allowed it to be removed. While not the main factor in the higher divorce rates we have seen since Feminism® has been ravaging the land, it is most certainly one of the key factors.
Now that I’ve made a serious point [and hopefully offended the Feminazis out there in Bolsheville, Absurdistan], I shall repair back to my cellar of sarcasm…
Many women believe that the death of Feminism would mean they would find themselves restricted to just being mothers and wife/servants. This is most definitely not true and is, in fact, a vile lie being spread by the hairy harridens of NOW. Outside of the roles of wives and mothers, women can perform many valuable services. To wit:
(1) Letting their bodies be used for advertising…
(2) Participating in charitable car washes…
(3) Doing the grilling for the local men’s baseball team or at the 19th hole…
(4) If they are not married yet, they can dream about snagging Mr. Right and being his loyal and dutiful wife…
While every real man would encourage these outside, extracurricular activities, it is imperative that the ladies understand these trifling endeavors cannot, and must not, lead to their ignoring of their main duties, such as…
-Food shopping so that their man is never without what he needs…
-Thoughtfully shopping for gifts for their man…
[Notice the fur coat: one of the wonderful rewards you can get ladies
for taking good care of your man!]
-After providing your man with a drink, a nice smoke, and a well-prepared dinner: entertaining him to take his mind off the heavyweight of the world that is on his shoulders…
-Putting on a show when you cook as well [one word ladies: flair]…
-And never, ever, forget to be waiting with a drink and a smile for you man when he gets home…
-Follow these rules ladies and you will have one happy man on your hands. You’ll feel good. And the good Lord will be pleased.

In my rush to get the above done, I forgot to mention and link Lipton T. Bagg’s great Offend A Feminist posting. Big time apologies, my friend.
-Over at Viewed From The Right, Lipton tries to get women to view men right:
…I hope to illustrate that Feminists have a rather skewed view of men and their relationships with women.
And that’s exactly what he does. Bravo, Lip.
Damn!
No love from Smitty, no love from TCOTS! Guess I’m flunking this week…..

Major apologies. This will be remedied ASAP!
I’m honored sir. Wish I would have thought of that title myself. Saw it on bumper-snicker once. Alas, the week is over, a good time was had by all.
Cheers!
There are very few new ideas or phrases in the world. The genius comes from knowing the exact moment to use one. You had very good timing.
Robert! At last there is a name for what comes naturally.
Thanks for linking. I missed out on the cut at McCain.
You are welcome, Irish.
