The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

Chimps have big balls, but damn! This chick is something else entirely. If I were a reporter in that room I would be very careful about throwing poo at her....she's scary.



This is how it is done. Shoving the leftist media's narrative right down their throats.

******

Thanksgiving Took Me and My Marriage to the Brink. Here’s How We Came Back From It.

I think the only appropriate response to this harpy is, "Shut your yap and get back into the kitchen. Oh...your sister is better in the sack!"

The writer is clearly too stupid to realize that her shitty marriage has nothing to do with Thanksgiving or the unfair division of labor or the unfair hierarchical patriarchy that she was enslaved by.

It's that she is a horror-show of a woman and a wife. And she married below her relationship skills!

Because it wasn’t just like this at Thanksgiving. We both worked full time in demanding jobs. Yet at the time, my husband didn’t know who the kids’ dentist was, had never made summer camp plans, never bought toilet paper, or filled out all those damn school and Girl Scout forms. He’d never clipped baby fingernails, nor had he been the one to frantically figure out how to get work done when a snowstorm, strep throat, or unexpected barf threw the whole jerry-rigged system of work and child care into disarray.

I hate to break it to you Brigid, but some of that stuff is appropriate work for the mother in the home. Sorry that men and women are different in most respects.
And it’s a big reason why many marriages don’t last. One study found that women initiate 69 percent of the divorces in heterosexual marriages, and another found that unfair divisions of household labor are a big reason why. (Same-sex couples fare better: Research has found that, without traditional gendered expectations, couples tend to talk more, adapt to changing circumstances, and negotiate fairer deals.)

But thanks for educating us that homosexual "marriage" is better. Maybe you should go marry a nasty looking Harley-riding dike with pendulous boobs and a three-day growth of beard.

There is a smug superiority in her tone that really set me off. For fvck's sake, she would text a photo of a neglected chore to her husband. Who does that? It smacks of an unequal relationship. I wonder how she would feel if her husband texted her a photo of a hot young thing from his office and asked why she can't look that good?

The fact is, real men do what they do best, and real women do what they do best. And they don't need lists to figure it out. What they need is the simple recognition that men and women are different, and thank God for that.

Both ex-whores got "bored" and ended uo cheating, and it is no wonder since they spent all their free time either staring at their phones or admiring other people's more exciting lives on Facebook.

Not complaining, since I am the idiot who married two lazy, uneducated tramps.

Because my money's on her. I don't know her husband, but the guy would have to be uncommonly rude to invite a bunch of people over for thanksgiving dinner and then peace out when it comes time to do the prep work.

Guy's minds tend to work on the assumption that if you're the one who makes the decision on an event happening, that you're going to be the one doing the planning and prep work for that event. You can ask us to help, but we're not going to go out of our way to do that work for you. Mostly because you're the one who has the idea in your head of what needs to be done and you haven't really communicated to us exactly what that idea is. So we let you handle it.

That is a detestable comment right there, lemme tell you what.


Good Lord, it's like some folks cannot help themselves but go bloody Ape-man in their need to be contrarian and uncivilized as possible, while, laughably, pretending that they are somehow better than the Left.


My father is the definition of a man, in my opinion. Works hard, generous, always on the move. He always helped Mom out with the chores; didn't need asking. Didn't ever say a task was beneath him as a man, or better suited to women. He bloody did it. Didn't drop these "these tasks are better suited to women" lines, either, as internet femme-boys-seeking-alpha-status so often do.


And now I see these wannabe-alphas on the internet talking about how different men and women are, HOO-RAH I'M A MAN, BABY and I just can't help but think how they pale in comparison to actual men that have no need to lord their masculinity over the internet to perfect strangers.


But the big thing, the real laugh line, was that you have the audacity to follow up the bullshit quoted above with "Thank God". Do you think God cares at all for your bad attitude? Do you think your crass commentary and snide superiority makes you *any* different from that woman you are virtue-signalling over?

90 I've been having some go-arounds with #NeverTrump types lately. It is impossible to imagine a President Cruz or Jeb! or Rubio or Kasich or whatever appointing someone like Sanders who would be out there giving the media the business like this. Impossible. Those #NeverTrump weenies would have appointed a weenie spox who would be up there apologizing to the media.

105 Honestly a picture of his wang in response isn't a bad one. I'm sure a woman like this isn't keeping up her end of the bargain there very well either.

Here's my perspective on this, since I never was married. Its my mom and dad. Dad wasn't lazy, he worked hard. He just would come home and wanted to rest after a day of work and mom always had a list of stuff to do. She still does (for me, when I come over to visit, no matter how I feel). Its stuff she couldn't get to or he promised to do.

Now as I said, dad wasn't lazy, but he was the kind that viewed home as a place to rest at, and he was raised by the kind of mom that just did everything. Picked up his clothes off the floor, etc. So he didn't grow up with a sense of helping around the house at all.

So chores would not get done for a really long time. Over a year, sometimes. It wasn't because dad didn't love her or didn't help out. It was just stuff he never quite got to. Part of it was diabetes as well, that really guts your energy levels.

Mom was exasperated by this. She didn't know what to do. So sometimes she didn't handle it very well, and they'd get into towering rage fights. They always loved each other, they always were very good to each other, but sometimes...

And I can see where stress levels would be high in that situation.

106 For fvck's sake, she would text a photo of a neglected chore to her husband. Who does that? It smacks of an unequal relationship.
-----------

No, it smacks of passive aggressiveness. Which has no place in a marriage.

Look, I'm far from a perfect wife, but I think one of the keys to our happy marriage is that we are both truly grateful for everything the other does for us and for our family. There are many things I do that my husband has no idea about, because I want to keep those things off his plate so he can concentrate on the things he needs to do. And the reverse is true as well.

Although every once in a while I will say to him, hey, if anything ever happens to me, here's how I pay the bills and here's the info about the kids' social security numbers and here's the file with this and that. But it is strictly because he would need to know this stuff should anything really happen to me! And of course he says thanks for showing me and please take care of yourself, I don't want anything to happen to you and then he kisses me on the head and goes off to the hardware store.

113 At the same time, when I read the list of things she's mad he didn't do or know how to do... I don't have a problem with his lack. What she doesn't list there is the things he did but she never did or had to, or understood. Things he handled that she did not. And it feels a bit one-sided, its all her woes and no understanding or reaching out.

Her view of the relationship seems to be more along the lines of "I have someone around to do stuff so I don't have to" and that's not right, either.

Lift anything heavy
Fix their car
Assemble things

118 Reading this harpy from Slate, one quote caught my eye: "If coming home to another workday of housework and child care is the second shift for women, as sociologist Arlie Hochschild called it"

I had the misfortune to come across Arlie Hochschild at Berkeley. Probably dykey in a marriage of convenience to a henpecked husband. Her latest book, "Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right" was the kind of condescending view of "flyover country" you would expect.

127 I think TG's are often stressful. Sometimes you are with people you don't see except a couple of times a year and some you may not want to see. Also, it's often a lot of work to do by oneself-and yes, some of the women in my church have been cooking a TG dinner for 60 years. They didn't complain but they were glad when their families brought most ion the side dishes and they only had to make potatoes or bring a pie. I haven't had a large family gatherings for years because no parents on either side and the brother my husband is closest to works on TG-every TG- to help put his co-workers. My sister and BIL live in England. So I would have preferred to order things out, but the family likes the tradition and doesn't seem to mind that I'm praying it down as much as possible.

This is not a comment on the wife in the piece above. I just think people sometimes have this idea of what holidays are like-Ie. Norman Rockwell and it often doesn't live up to the expectations what divorces and bad feelings between family members and the stress of having people in your house who are not normally there.

Then captain save a hoe comes along believing her bullshit riding in on a white horse, and the husbands/father's bond and relationship with his kids is harmed and sometimes destroyed.

My response was basically, hell no. Men don't care about social status nearly as much as women do, and generally feel that we have far less need for physical things. We work at high stress/high prestige jobs mostly to impress women who highly value such things...

Feminists think women's work around the house should be compensated at time-and-a-half but men are salaried-exempt so working evening and weekends is just part of the job.

You may not but some people feel obligated because of a family" tradition" and then they post "If so and so mentions how much they hate Trump I'm going to_______" (inset rude scenario ;^) No problem with me; My husband agrees with my politics and although sometimes my son is quite chatty it's usually not about politics. Yesterday he asked, "Do you like hippies?" It made me laugh. I said "It depends on who they were. I was a little too young for the flower power stuff."

165 My wife definitely does more than I do by necessity.

She gets home from work around 430 and I get home around 730 most nights so by necessity she cooks 80-100pct of the time.

I'll sometimes cook on the weekends buts let's face it, she's a far better cook than I am and why would want to inflict my cooking on her.

Where I excel is in bill paying, I pay the bills, you make the house run like a well oiled machine and we'll split the labor where we can.

Never, ever, ever run down your spouse to other people unless its specifically to a counselor to to your parents, and only in the context of love and looking for help.

NEVER. Always present your marriage as ideal and wonderful and your spouse as the greatest person ever. Always. You have a responsibility in an angry, bitter, hateful world to represent marriage as a positive and it will help in your mind to view your marriage and spouse in a more positive light as well.

That's how it seems to me, anyway.

172 "She would text a photo of a neglected chore to her husband."
.
Friend of mine used to be married to a very unpleasant woman. 'Their' friends put up with her because we liked him. She always seemed unhappy.
.
One day, he came home from work to find she had packed up everything she considered 'hers' and moved out. On the coffee table, she left a notebook. Written in it was everything he had ever done that she considered a slight to her.
.
(No kids. He wanted 'em. She didn't. He did all the cooking. He's a great cook.)
.
A year or so later, he remarried. A lawyer. They get on like a house on fire. Two boys, now teenagers. We'll be at their house for Thanksgiving, along with a crowd of other people.
.
A few years later, the ex-wife finally figured out that her ex-husband was not the source of her unhappiness.

I will confess that my husband had to clip our first-born's baby's fingernails for the first time. I was absolutely terrified that I was going to hurt her. And bless him, he did it and he did a great job. He clipped fingernails, changed diapers, gave baths, cleaned up after them when they threw up. Never because I asked him to, always because he wanted to. He's a great dad.

He can't cook worth a darn though. Just so you know that I did bring something to the marriage.

They strain at a gnat trying to fabricate Trump/Russia narrative that they've manufactured for a year. At the same time they ignore high treason by their globalist Queen Hillary, ignore the $148 million, ignore the Clinton bribes that helped Russia in their plan to "corner the market" in uranium, directly against US interests.

The MFM are not ignorant children, they are co-conspirators, run by globalist billionaires still executing the "new world order" agenda. Now they are dancing naked ... but some people like the globalist dream world. Those low-info drones need to become "Woke".

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the one who files for divorce is not always the one who initiates the break-up.

Case in point:
Young woman with decent job gets married to guy.
They have a (very much planned) baby that they don't want raised by daycare.
Woman leaves job to be home-maker.
Two years later husband decides he's "tired of being married." (All of his best friends are single or divorced.)
He moves out, then soon moves in with a chick.
Eventually young woman gives up hope and files for divorce.

It may or may not be true that women initiate most break-ups, but the often-cited statistics about who FILES prove nothing.

236 I was not allowed to use the bathroom at night during my marriage. She would go nuts and with the threat of always calling the cops I had to sleep on the couch and pee in bottles. I forgot to empty them one morning and she took a picture. This was used against me in court.

Denying access to a bathroom is literally against international law.

Commercial breaks featured ads by the NFLPA obviously designed to repair their military-hating image. There were football players intoning their "deep respect" for our military and vets, their ugly mugs hovering over footage of soldiers doing their jobs. One of the respectful players was Malcolm Jenkins who authored the SJW list of demands presented to Goodell. Jenkins also led the kneeling effort on his team, which I believe is the Iggles.

256 219 >>One study found that women initiate 69 percent of the divorces in heterosexual marriages
------------------------------
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the one who files for divorce is not always the one who initiates the break-up.

Case in point:
Young woman with decent job gets married to guy.
They have a (very much planned) baby that they don't want raised by daycare.
Woman leaves job to be home-maker.
Two years later husband decides he's "tired of being married." (All of his best friends are single or divorced.)
He moves out, then soon moves in with a chick.
Eventually young woman gives up hope and files for divorce.

It may or may not be true that women initiate most break-ups, but the often-cited statistics about who FILES prove nothing.

257 @219. I had friends from college where the husband texted Wife to come home from work, and when she did, she saw that he had packed up as much stuff as he could fit in his car and told her that he wasn't happy and was leaving. (This was after 14 years of marriage.) Then, he refused to see her or speak to her and only communicated through email ... and insisted that she be the one to file for divorce. So, he left, but on paper, she filed.

** This one had a happy ending. He just was unhappy with life and called her the day before they went into court and said he wasn't ready. After a few more months, they went to couples counseling together, and after a year of that, they moved back in together. They're both good people, he (mainly) just let some personal crap build up and ran away instead of trying to deal with it.

Get Sling and an OTA antenna. Sling Orange has ESPN, which has rights to most Tide games, but you can shitcan it after the season with a click of the mouse. We have Sling Orange + Blue (no cable at all), so we'll keep Sling Blue and 86 ESPN and Sling Orange.

An OTA antenna (optionally with a cable amplifier), and you're covered for games on CBS, too; all for a one-time outlay for hardware. We're pretty far (40 mi) from all the transmitters, but a top of the line antenna and a cable amplifier and everything comes in clear as a bell - in HD. For free.

Yep. For twenty five years, I hosted Thanksgiving and Christmas for upwards of 100 people. I did all the cooking, etc. Husband was an amazing sous chef, who cleaned, hefted large turkeys, set out chairs, directed parking, and made me look good and organized. Last year, when I was down with a bad knee, he cooked Thanksgiving. Granted, we picked it up from Wegmans, but he did the warming, table setting, etc. I didn't have to do anything. And I rewarded him richly for that blessing.

But I am still inadequate because 4 years ago SHE had to install the bamboo flooring upstairs because I was to busy with work to do it as quickly as she wanted. I hardly helped at all. All I did was go to the store, buy the flooring, load it into the truck, unload it into the garage, carry it all upstairs, removed the old carpeting and baseboards, rolled out the underlayment, made all of the cuts, installed new baseboards and quarter round, painted the new baseboards and quarter round. But she laid the floor. Everytime I fail to do something, I am the asshole because I didn't do that thing, just like when she HAD to install the flooring.

They had obviously made a nest in the folds of the bunting that I hang on my front porch from Memorial Day through Veteran's Day. My son took them down for me this week, and put them in the house for a couple days before I got around to washing them.

377 Men should do their part, maybe some more because why not. 'nuff said. HOWEVER...when it comes to "socializing" let's face it, given a hundred bags of Cheetos and left to his own devices 99% of men would be found months later dead in the basement with a game on and an orange penis. Smiling. Revived they would ask to do it again. So any complaints about social activities should fall on deaf ears.

How does Sarah H. Sanders mange to put up with these press clowns day
after day?. She just go home and have a drink and rolls her eyes a lot?

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at November 21, 2017 12:08 PM (8+Ozj)

I think she goes back to her desk and slaps a "That was easy" button on her desk and puts her feet up with a cup of tea, smiling.

381 The fact is, real men do what they do best, and real women do what they do best. And they don't need lists to figure it out. What they need is the simple recognition that men and women are different, and thank God for that.

Concur. My first wife was like the one who wrote that piece.

Re: the original article...In our home, Mrs IMG doesn't touch the turkey until it is on the platter, so I do fault her hubby for that.

Also, it's so nice when one of us wanders outside our lane to do something for the other, like me emptying the dishwasher and cleaning up the sink and counter tops or her coiling hoses and picking up deadfall twigs and sticks.

But some things are best left off limits, like the washing machine for me and under the car hood for her.

Tradition just plain works.

Yah. I really wonder when I read essays by these overwhelmed women, why they just don't calmly ask their husbands for help, or even frantically ask their husbands for help.

99 times out of 100 the guy will pitch in and be flattered to have come to the rescue, and that 1 time out of 100 he will have a good reason not to, namely, he is dealing with his own overwhelming problems.
Posted by: Curmudgeon


It is the sin of failing to read minds. And when such a woman complains about hubby not helping, well, it is too late for him to offer to help.

383 Who wants to bet a substantial sum of money against my assertion that she does and he doesn't do all that stuff because she won't let him because in her mind he's too stupid or lazy to do them right?

Posted by: steve walsh at November 21, 2017 01:22 PM (9u4i0)

384 It's this simple in my book, and after 20 years together, I think my wife and I have settled into a "division of labor" that works...

"Chores" like cleaning are looked at differently by men and women. Not always, but pretty close. You see, women think that a spic and span clean bathroom is important. Maybe VERY important. For men ? Not so much. I have limited time in my day and my life. If that is so precious to you, then you make the time to clean it and you don't give me shit about it.

I'd also be curious what things around the house HE does that she couldn't for a variety of reasons. Maybe he could start sending her pictures of the lawn not mowed or broken things around hte house that aren't fixed, cars with blown engines because the oil didn't get changed for 20,000 miles (personal OE on that one).

Life is about compromise and if you only see one side of it, yeah I bet that guy would have been fucking THRILLED to be rid of her bitch ass.

I mean, a rule about who makes the bed ? Who fucking cares ? I could not possibly care less if the bed EVER got made. That would be a rich discussion: "Ok, whoever gets up last makes the bed. Yeah, nope. I don't care if the bed gets made. You want it made, you make it." Simple

My priorities are not dictated by YOUR priorities, least of all dumb shit like making the bed.

385 Best comprehensive ass kicking by a press secretary in ever so long! How refreshing!

386 if your "wife" is writing articles on your marriage and your perceived shortcomings you chose poorly.

Morale is often a problem with the distaff.

Read Sun Tzu Art of War on how to instill appropriate morale in the royal concubinage.

388 Sarah Huckabee is the BEST. She's RELENTLESS as we ALL MUST BE if we are ever to unconditionally defeat the crimeologarchy, its financiers, and its media lackeys.

Posted by: Notamoron at November 21, 2017 03:08 PM (artIV)

389 I don't know this for sure, but it seems to me that "negotiating better deals" isn't quite the right attitude in a good marriage.

Posted by: Alana at November 21, 2017 03:14 PM (o3d0j)

390 GO Sarah!

This is how it is done. Shoving the leftist media's narrative right down their throats.

Or up their azz

391 I think she totally made up that claim about homosexual "marriages". Which is why she provided no numbers.

Last I heard the divorce rate in two female marriages was much higher than the divorce rate for two male marriages. Anyone got real numbers to share?

Posted by: Greg Q at November 21, 2017 04:22 PM (WzYlo)

392 Women file for divorce because of unequal division of household chores...so when the husband leaves, she can do ALL the chores. Pretty clever plan you've got there. Reminds my of my neighbor who left her husband because he didn't spend enough time with her, and thereafter he spent no time with her at all.

Posted by: doppelganglander at November 21, 2017 06:21 PM (iz4UD)

393 In all that din after Huckabee-Sanders' statement I could swear I heard the reporters demanding her immediate arrest for crimes against the State and the People. (Other crimes the reporters would want to see her arrested for include: Lying, Wrecking, Treason, Belonging to an Illegal Political Party, Working for an Illegal Political Party, Disrespect to a Journalist, Conspiring Against The State And The People, etc.)

Posted by: CatchThirtyThr33 at November 21, 2017 06:25 PM (3NJT9)

394 Who, whoa there. Regarding the thanksgiving article. The author mentions that she is a working mom with little kids. How is it OK that she works full-time and takes care of all the kids needs and is expected to pull off the Herculean task of Thanksgiving dinner while her husband watches TV! Come on now. I read her whole article and she has a positive message. No one can work full-time, take care of little kids, and put on the holiday meal, no one, without help. She is right that many women feel resentment and it builds up over the years if the disparity in labor is not addressed. The author addressed it with her husband and they came up with a new plan that has helped. What is wrong with that?

395 I just want to testify to the great work of Dr Mack, i had problem with my boyfriend which result to a break up and this gave me sleepless night, but when things were not moving as i have planned, i had no other choice than to give it a try and behold, it worked well for me and now i have my lover back. All thanks to ____dr.mack201@gmail.com restoring my happiness back
