War of the Sexes, 4/2008 Edition

An MSNBC relationship columnist explains the key to domestic bliss is treating your husband like a misbehaving child in need of a scolding.
What I find humorous about this is not all of the psychologists and random ladies bloviating, it’s that this shit has been going for thousands of years. Yet, somehow, men and ladies still get married and produce families, yet nobody ever learns a goddamned thing — nobody.
I’m almost 50 years old, and I still don’t care, not even if that Scarlett chick with the boobs was bitching at me (even in a nice satin purple boustier and fishnet stockings), that I ain’t good enough. I’ll scrub the toilet when it starts grossing me out, and not before. Furthermore, we expect all the squawking at any level of engagement beyond a cocktail, and we’ve learned to tune it right out, I’m guessing for most men, right around sixth grade. It’s why God invented table saws & garages & cigars. Go scrub till your OCD is quieted - I’ll be here making woooden ashtrays and shit, and drinking beer. Because I don’t care. But we still love you, regardless of the fact that you can’t accept that the human race spent 99% of our existence in rock caves with dirt floors and ate some pretty rancid stuff most all of the time and somehow we made it this far.

Here’s the one question that always catches these sort of women off guard:
“When was the last time you took out your trash?”
If a man is in the house, he takes out the trash. It’s one of those Irrefutable Rules and it always amazes me that women like these can complain, bitch, and everything else, but when it comes down to brass tacks they leave the “really icky” stuff to the men.
Go figure.
Also, see here for another great response.

My favorite is “When was the last time you mowed the lawn?” Gets ‘em every time. And, if by wild chance, she actually IS mowing the lawn, well, then, think how far ahead you are.

Bingo. The moronic caveman husband is the role to play. They can blog about it, heh heh.
