Mid-morning semi-rant.
So I was 'surfing the net', as the kids of a decade ago liked to call it, and following link after link, I came across a website called nomarriage (and more specifically this link)
I found it to be a moderately amusing, but at other times, a hammer-on-the-head interpretation of females. Especially those nasty stereotypes out there, the ones that I don't associate with.
Feel free to browse through it at your pleasure (and pain). Expect reactions ranging from "Oh. Wow. LOL. What an extremist! What's the name for the male version of a feminist?!" to "...Too true buddy ...Too true."
One excerpt I found particularly amusing, and at the same time, highly accurate, was this:
"No woman with strong feminist leanings will EVER be happy with the breakdown of tasks in the household. They will ALWAYS be preoccupied with fairness and feel they are being taken advantage of. They never realize that a marriage is letting your guard down and mutually trusting the other person."
Whoever wrote this has obviously had to deal with some seriously heinous bitches/ delusional princesses in his time. Don't get me wrong though, I wholeheartedly disagree with him saying "The woman, with her better emotional strength,...", and also his insinuation that women are manipulative, and the implication that we're all like this, all the time.
But then, with a sentence, he'll have me back on board his women-are-pshycos'-argument with something like "Any trace of snobbery at doing traditional female tasks is a bad sign of a princess.", and really, I can't fault him on that.
nomarriage.com is the place to go if you want to read about things that make you ashamed to be a female, in the same way that The Cronulla Riots made me ashamed to be Australian.

Ultimately, ANY relationship is about balance and respect.

*edit*
The more I read, the more it's obvious the author has had some serious run-ins with (again) the sort of women I tend not to associate with.
