Why are you married to this woman if you are constantly fighting and it seems that she resents you just for being a man?
Because as others have pointed out there are numerous passages in the bible, and they talk about women's roles differently depending on the author of that book, and the audience he was addressing. So for one to take only those passages and interpret that as the bible's official policy on women is a fundamentalist interpretation of the issue as a whole.
I have a feeling I'm slightly younger than the "white women" your wife is referring to within the "working generation" - but NO my mother was not oppressed. My dad wears the pants in the family when my mom lets him. My mom has never suggested that my grandmother was oppressed either. And I really can't recall any of my friends mothers being oppressed, or any of my friends having memories of their mothers being oppressed, or indicating such happenings were occurring. BTW, has your wife been watching Mad Men on AMC? It might be giving her fuel for her fire - in which case, she needs to get over it - it's not the 60s anymore.
Thank you! Thank you!.......... Nah It was 2 in the morning and those white russians, well, it was 2 in the morning nah mean? Sorry If I offended you Franchise I just felt like some friendly debate/speculation, Drunk debate and speculation My understanding of the bible is this..... Well, to avoid offending anyone, ever watch any Carlin? Me 2 a tee....
OP title is much more volatile than the real question, which is: "When I said something nice about having gotten a gift for my father in law, why did my wife go nuts and take it to some feminist level and start criticizing my character. I had a gift for her too, and merely excited about the gift I had found for her dad." So, original thread title should have been less obtuse, and more like "What's wrong with my wife?" and opened with... "Does this sound like a woman bashing, they aren't equal, kind of a situation or act to you?"
Oh puh-lease! I was responding to the men who automatically posted jokes about women and feminists on the thread. Did it mean that [male chauvinistic pigs] was pointed towards all men? No. If you're going to get offended at something that wasn't even directed at you, that's not my problem! My point was that we are in the 20th century, women have been fighting for equality for centuries and that stupid male chauvinistic jokes about women and feminists in general don't do anything to help the situation. Yes, some may be funny, but they only serve to make things worse because it's not taken seriously.
Ha, its I first read the topic and thought of it being Some of it might be the "Lets Clean up This Forum" sticky warning making you think twice what we post.... And the p***y-whooped US court system... and all the other workplace and social protections women's agendas have attained to where liking the smell of the perfume a woman wears one day is sexual harassment worthy. And men getting less tough every year to favor these advancements...douchiness taking place of real masculinity... Thanks for understanding the point. I got a little long winded and extreme, but that was it.
Just return all the gifts you got for the In-Laws and buy something(cheaper) they both can enjoy. Like some matching yoga mats or a basketball. Get your wife a membership to Massage Envy and learn to leave the house when she pisses you off. Leave little notes in her places she would normally look telling her what you love about her. It may force her to look in the mirror. If there comes a time when you can't think of anything to right down. Go collect your Father-in-Law and head to Hedonism.
Miss ThePoint, an analogy - If you're wearing a UT Longhorns jersey in a room full of Texas A&M fans and say out loud "Darn backwood country Aggie, just as I suspected"... Expect to bake them all brownies to diffuse the situation is all I'm saying, alright? There's things besides arguing and bickering to come to understandings.
And you're saying that you don't ever argue and bicker? Puh-lease! Am I supposed to bake them brownies [because I'm female so of course my correct place is baking in the kitchen, right?] to 'diffuse the situation' after they were the ones who mocked my mere response about what a feminist is and why they are understood, with their sexist jokes? I don't think so. It's not going to happen. End of story.
Do you look anything like? Ahh hell, what's her name? She was like the only other girl on the board before finalsbound and lady di. Ahh yes, Shady Pink. Yikes she was hideous. If you look like her, do not post anymore. Posts from hideous women will be ignored.
