Gah! MUST.........NOT...........FEED..................TROLLLLLLLLL!

SO NEED A LIKE BUTTON!
So hard not to want to kneecap him...

You just destroyed our marriage with your self centered feminist behavior, therefore making divorce statistics skyrocket in the last decade. AKA detrimental/destructive to society.

In all seriousness, feminism probably has contributed to higher divorce rates, but not due to the reasons you're citing.

You see, back in the olden days, fewer women received the education or training they do now so that they could succeed in the workplace and be self-sufficient. And even if they had the credentials, they didn't get hired for higher-paying jobs because those mostly went to men "with families to support."

A woman got married, had children and stayed home. If she left her husband, not only did society look down on her and treat her as a pariah, but she also almost always ended up impoverished due to lack of employment opportunities and lax child support enforcement.

So women who found themselves married to men who abused them or their children (including sexual abuse) stayed to avoid the "shame" of leaving. Now we can support ourselves and our children, the "shame" label is gone and so we just leave instead of enduring years of hell.

Obviously, there are other things that lead to divorce that maybe couples should actually work on instead of just ending things, but the reality is, a lot of the high divorce rate is due to what I stated above.

As feminist I find this completely offensive.

As a feminist, I find it completely stupid. It's not worth getting offended over.

As a feminist I read bedtime stories to my cats every night.

My cats don't talk back when I'm performing a dramatic reading of Goodnight Moon. I prefer to read to them.

I think you're pointing right at the issue without realizing it.

That hamburger is an object. It is one dimensional.

Women are subjects. When you compare the images in the media with images of real women, you're treating them as objects or one-dimensional things. The thing that makes the "real woman" beautiful isn't that she's more aesthetically pleasing, it's that she's not an object. The "real woman" is a subject with a multi-dimesional personality and life. Her looks reflect the life she's lived and her experiences.

The hamburger exists for your pleasure and enjoyment. The woman belongs to herself and her appearance is not for you.

Which brings me back to this ace in the whole I have been waiting to trap you all with since page one ^

You belong to you, you don't belong to me. Since the essence of love is giving yourself to someone, the essence of the romance, you make yourself unlikable, unlovable, due to your insecurity. Giving yourself like that to a man is the only reason for him to sacrifice his life. And if you are too stubborn, proud, empowered to do that, you destroy the potential for love to thrive therefore destroying the family unit.

This comes back full circle to how the burger is self destructive. You just destroyed our marriage with your self centered feminist behavior, therefore making divorce statistics skyrocket in the last decade. AKA detrimental/destructive to society.

Checkmate.

No. The essence of romance is NOT giving yourself to the other person. Have you ever been in a successful long term relationship? In a relationship you still belong to yourself, you just share your life with someone else, your life, not your self. I love my husband. We share our lives, our home, our money, our children, most of our free time, our future, our families, etc. But my life does not belong to him. I consult him on major decisions but they are still mine to make. He has his own life, hobbies, friends. He makes his decisions. He doesn't control me, I don't control him. If all we had was each other, we'd probably murder each other.

checkmate? :laughs:

me thinks you know how to play chess as well as you know how to evaluate women.


eta... and it's "Ace in the hole"

Methinks he says "Checkmate" instead of saying "I'm right, you're wrong , and you can't tell me any different...LALALALALALALA" whist stomping his feet like a 4 year old.

Checkmate would conclude that there are no other alternatives.

So let me see if I understand what you are saying here. The ONLY reason for the skyrocketed divorce rate is feminism? Each woman who hopes and strives for a better future for herself and her children (if she so chooses that path) ruins the institution of marriage?

Well, at least it isn't homosexuality that's "threatening" marriage anymore...

This.

First things first: It's "ace in the hole".
Now, onto more important issues: A woman can both belong to herself and still give herself to another. You should never lose yourself in someone else, or what is left? A shadow of self? A sad image of what you think your partner wants? That's not right. That's not a healthy relationship. It's just sad.

I cannot think of a more appropriate time for this particular gif.

Gah! MUST.........NOT...........FEED..................TROLLLLLLLLL!

I recognize the wisdom of this sentiment. Really hard to do when you're avoiding reality though haha.

If I honestly thought someone meant what they were saying I would be compelled to address the issue. When someone flips sides faster than a politician, I worry less about the b.s. they spout.

Mmm yes. Sadly this is more entertaining than the big bad weather that's about to hit here. It's this or watching trees be all blowy.

LOL! Oh I know, I've gone on for pages in the past in exactly this manner.

Should mention OP is also a big fan of Twilight as a model for ideal relationships.....
