The Heading of the piece was entitled something along the lines of "5 explanations of what it really means when a woman says"....
It then went on to explain that if a woman uses the word "fine", things probably aren't (I can concur with this one). But from there i found the temperature of the obviously intended as humorous mail type joke to drop considerably.Well below what i would consider the line of humor. Perhaps it's just me, based on recent events and past perspectives, lets see what you all think.
As the joke continued, it said that if a woman uses the word "whatever" it actually translated to "fuck -you",
Another word, equalled the phrase "you are wrong and i am right, so you had Better shut-up
And finally there was a word (sorry i dont recall) that equalled the male of the relationship having to be very concerned for his i suppose, well being, because it stated that she would be "thinking Long and hard about how to punish or get even with" the male in the spouse roll.
Well I'll tell ya what, Ive already been told twice to "cool my jets", and "get over it, It's just a joke" But ya know what? I dont think its a joke at all! As matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that if a male of the species, or for that matter ANYONE in a spousal relationship used that phrasology in a place of public gathering, the result would be negative. NOONE wants to hear two people in a relationship speak to each other in those terms.It makes us uncomfortable, and makes us wish we were elsewhere. WHY?, simply because that nature of talk is easily indentified with being abusive.
O.K., I'm busted, anyone who truley knows me, knows that i tend to take offense realativley easily when it comes to the ladies using general and generic man-bashing as fodder for humor. Is this because im hypersensative to my gender not getting a fair shake?, or being unfairly catagorized?,..Hell no. It comes from a place where i have seen TOO MANY brothers pay far beyond theire equitable share as result of a failed relationship. I personally know more than a Half-a -dozen different lads who had dissolved relationships with a gal they once loved,(3 of whom dissolved the marriages by forming new relationships before ending the old one) only to find that when it came to the dividing up of things, it was beneficial to themselves to say, mutter something about "Daddy looking at porn while he held his daughter on his knee. Or, suggesting that there were acts of physical abuse in play. There were some accusations made that i wouldnt even dare write on this page. I would love nothing more than to say that based on what i knew of these fella's theres NO way those accusations would hold water, regrettably in most cases, they were niether provable, nor disprovable. Thats what gives them the strength you see,based on heresay, and occasionally outright lies, people are punished, potentially for the rest of theire lives, either monitarily,emotionally,criminally, or perhaps all of them!
Now lets get back to the "JOKE". If "I" or any male i knew, penned a joke for public display that revolved around telling our spouse to SHUT-UP, Or if we said to them FUCK-YOU! Or perhaps if we advised our spouses that we are long and hard considering a retribution or punishment, all she would have to do is relate this information to the nearest womens shelter or police dept. and im sure the joke would end with the male having a No-Contact order placed against him, he would lose his home, his children and possibly even his personal liberties.
So ladies, when you speak in terms of "gender equality", please include a sensitivity that says "maybe i wont forward the e-mail joke about men being nothing more than "Ultra penis focused Cro-magnon goofs,whos ineptitudes find them fit for nothing more than being the brunt end of your obviously over-cultured and well-healed barbs.You get what ya give.
To "Glenn" who told me to cool it. Sorry dude, disagree entirely. My mom wasnt like that, My wife Isnt like that, My Daughter isn't like that, I certainly dont want them painted with that brush.
To My friends T.V.B / D.W. from Niagra Falls Ont. Ladies, with all youve been through, all your knowledge, and all your lifes experience, i would have thought you two to be the last to engage in a manner of aggression towards anyone. (even for a joke) .I wish that you would want better for yourselves, your husbands, and the rest of your families.
Abuse is abuse folks, if someone finds humor in hurting others, well i guess thats a someone i just dont need to know.Dont like what I'm sayin?, well maybe i should slap the shit outta ya!,....never mind, im just joking.
