If you are unhappy and you know it, clap your hands
Women are liberated and unhappy. Men are confined and unhappy. Oh gender warfare, how do I not love thee? Happily, I’ve decided to combine what could have been two posts into one, to spare you the pain of reading about our chronic malaise twice.

On men: I for one, still believe men are capable of being strong and chivalrous, without engaging in this sort of petty tit for tat mentality–the kind many a feminist has busied herself with for years now. If this dad is so disgruntled, perhaps he married the wrong woman–or perhaps he should take on his rightful role as a father who is more than a chauffeur. I’m sure his wife would thank him for it.
On women: was it really worth it? 1.5 children, in exchange for many, many hours in a cubicle? Apparently not.
My two cents on gender warfare for the day.

“…contemporary America doesn’t seem willing to accept sexual stigma, period. We simply don’t have the stomach for permanently ostracizing the sexually irresponsible — be they a pregnant starlet, a thrice-divorced tycoon, or even a prostitute-hiring politician.” (Times article, “Liberated and Unhappy”)
Nor, more concerningly, do we have the stomach for doing anything but condone any and all sexual ‘preferences’ and ‘choices.’
“1.5 children, in exchange for many, many hours in a cubicle”
-Some workplaces now hand out 1,5 children in return for putting in many hours of work? Or what were you trying to say? Maybe you should try to write in complete sentences if you want people to get what youu are saying.
