Back to the Stone Age

You've probably heard of Michael Noer's ludicris article, Don't Marry a Career Woman (an article so ridiculous that the pussies at Forbes took it down, only to put it back up when mocked mercilessly for being said pussies. It now has it's own section with a counterpoint article, Don't Mary a Lazy Man).

We're talking about an article with the following lines:

the more successful she is the more likely she is to grow dissatisfied with you.

And gives the following interesting tidbits:

If they quit their jobs and stay home with the kids, they will be unhappy They will be unhappy if they make more money than you do You will be unhappy if they make more money than you do You will be more likely to fall ill your house will be dirtier When your spouse works outside the home, chances increase they'll meet someone they like more than you


I've read a number of diatribes on how this is sexist and anti-woman, but what I kept thinking as I read it was: why is he giving the guy a pass? Yo u're more likely to fall ill if your wife works? Learn how to take care of yourself without being nagged! House is dirtier because your wife spends time at work? Learn how the vacume cleaner works! Afraid your wife will meet someone more interesting than you at work? Stop sitting on the couch, adjusting yourself watching sports 24/7. Pick up a book, read a newspaper. Be more interesting. Men need to step up their game to keep up with women, not sit around complaining about the lives woman are making for themselves.

REAL


    Everything has changed. Nothing has changed. I don't want to go through this again. I can't live without it. I'm sure I can handle it. I couldn't imagine it any other way.
    And if none of this makes sense... well, you obviously aren't a Red Sox fan.
