I'm probably going to get flamed here, but I'll go ahead.
I DO think there are things that women can't do the same or better than men. I also think that there are things that women can do MUCH better than men. I do not think women should vote, I know that sounds really bad, but when Bill Clinton was re-elected...the majority of women voters said that they voted for him strictly because they thought he was good looking. I'm sorry, but if the majority cannot think any more clearly than that....then they should not vote. I personally never voted when I lived the USA.
My FI and I have a very traditional relationship and he "wears the pants", however, he does not consider himself smarter than me and he is always very respectful. I plan on being a stay at home mom and a housewife. I don't consider this beneath me at all. I enjoy doing things for him, even if people accuse me of being a "1950's housewife". In return, he does things for me. It works for us. I have a college education (higher than my fiance), I've owned my own businesses, I've traveled alone, etc. I consider myself capable and smart, and I know I can handle anything life throws my way. However, I am more than happy to hand the money making over to him, along with things like maintaining the car, changing light bulbs, clearing gutters, etc. :-) In return, I'll happily do his laundry, make him dinner, and spoil him rotten.

Re: what?!?!

  • Yes, this woman should probably not vote.

    Did anyone respond saying men should not vote b/c look what happened when they wanted to have a beer with Bush?

  • Ahhhh! I think I have to scratch my eyes out now after reading this!

    Where did you find this horrible post?  What were the responses? I hope she was flamed.

  • whenever I link posts it never works. Its the 3 pager on P&E called "Mrs Steffes." That is on page 2.
  • she went on to say that "some men shouldn't vote, either."

     

    SOME men? vs all women?  

  • She scares me.  As a fellow SAHM/Housewife I think she's what gives us "an unprepared for reality" sterotype.  It saddens me to think anyone would choose to be so blind to the total household other than cooking and cleaning--finances in particular.
  • Well - I agree some people probably shouldn't vote - like her and her FI.

  • Sadly one poster agreed with her. The rest flamed her.

     

    This all started because someone asked about how to get their parents to pay for their wedding. People responded "you and your FI should be adults and pay for your own wedding unless someone offers." mrssteffes accused us all of being femi nazi's and we needed to accept that men can do things women can't do. People went off the handle  because it was out of no where and gender had not been part of the convo at all. This psycho then responded with the above post.

  • wow i wish this were a joke.
  • Come on now - don't you know men can write their names in the snow while pissing better than women? 

    Reading this and all those posts about people who are going to move away because life will be over for them if the other candidate gets elected or feel people are stupid if they don't vote a certain way is giving me a headache.

     

     

     

  • Women like this give me this creepy intuitive feeling that they're probably being beaten into submission. She knows who wears the pants in the family and he always respects her? When you have to make that qualifier (the latter) that always worries me. Shouldn't this be a given?

    Pardon my HUGE inner bride...I'm trying to change the size and it's not working.

  • Ladies, we can all take comfort in the fact that she probably doesn't vote.
  • OMG! ?She is horrible.

    But you guys know I'm only voting for Obama because he's so dreamy, right? ?It was the dancing on Ellen that clinched it for it.?

    I knew it! ?I can't say I blame you though Bunny. ?The sole reason I'm voting for McCain is because I want him. ?I have quite the attraction to older men.?

  • Wow. She gives women a bad name.

    Good point.

    *SNORT*

     People like this would probably vote for McCain (pro-life single issue voters, I'm guessing) anyway, so I consider it a victory.

    I'll bet with a funnel, some tubing and a little practice, I could do write my name in the snow. Stick out tongue
