Gender roles…

What are your expectations?

Ok, since I like things spicy, I’m gonna spice it up-Again.

The prompt for this thread was a post by multiplepropert in which he posted the most popular 10 posts of the year. In that lineup was a thread started by a poster seeking advice because his wife wanted to buy NOW. Most of the responses I read by men horrified me. It wasn’t their position (I actually agred with most of the stances) it was their condescending attitude. The gist was: I am man. I rule!

Ok, I’m gonna put it out there: Most of you men on here, I wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot-pole, wouldn’t even be in the same room with you.

I pride myself on being an independent, self-actualized woman. My values and view of life is traditional enough where I would not have a desire to strip from a man his manhood. That is something I appreciate and could never be with a “weak” (don’t confuse that with sweet) man. However, a man will not tell me when I can and cannot buy a pair of shoes, he will not control the finances and he will not make unitlateral decisions in my behalf. But, when the sh*t hits the fan, I will defer to him. But, not because I HAVE to. Any paycheck that says: “pay to the order of Marion”, will not be written by him.

So, men, how do you view a woman’s role in a relationship? Is it a control thing with you? Are your views taken from your upbringing?

And no, I’m not looking for a date. I have one of those tomorrow. I’m not an attention whore, but you may think otherwise. Just playing with ya between putting batches of cookies in the oven. Regardless, I think it’s a valid/interesting discussion. Whoever wants to reply, do so.

Women feel free to share your view of a man’s role in a relationship. However, if you are overweight, like cats and ice cream, stay off of my thread.

Let’s go.

When making the decision to purchase big ticket items like a house, the ultimate decision should come from the person who brings home the bacon. If the woman makes more money than the man, then she should be in charge of finances (but in the real world the man usually makes more money).

I’m kinda in the creep category and against my better judgement I’ll play along (even though HLS and SD will punk me in sidebar e-mails for it). Don’t confuse the advice we menfolk give each other with Misogyny. We don’t hate women, we can think of no better way to spend an hour than under the sheets than with one. It’s the other 23 hours that drive us insane. Most of us are secretly angry that we aren’t homosexuals, how simple life would be if we were not afflicted with the exclusive sexual attraction to females. But most of us (myself included) are at the mercy of women in this one area. The reality is that men do not feel love the way women do, men are only romantic becuase it is in their best interests. Men do not go to Tiffanys because they think it will make the woman happy, they do it because they know the little blue box is an aphrodisiac (tip: any of you husbands need a last minute x-mas idea, go blue).

The reality is that most of the piggy’s are men, most are faithful, hard working, intelligent and almost nerdy ( but in a stylish way), men. And many have a woman who rules the roost without regard to their man. Some have equal partnerships, but they don’t come here asking for advice, it’s the guys who are being pushed around in trade for sex that come here. The guys who support “stay at home moms” who know they will get slaughtered in court and they want to be good fathers so they just trod along and do what she says. We are unique fraternity, we support each other, we feel for each other because even those who have risen above it, still remember what is was like. We feel for those guys and we want to help just like veterans of a war are bonded forever, married men and formerly married men share a common bondage, we defend them like we would a little brother on the playground. Women on the other hand compete with each other using yardsticks such as granite counters and travertine floors, men are just casualties in their war.

It’s late, any of the regulars know that means I’m near the end of the bottle (a wonderful and spicy sub $10 napa cab, trinity oaks, high marks for cheap swill) so I’ll end my diatribe because I have important football games to watch tomorrow. I apologize for the insults if any of my words were taken as such, enjoy your date tomorrow but be wary of any man who would go on a date during the sixteenth week of the season with most of the wildcard spots up in the air.
