Would your husband…

[Sunflower8710]

I had accidentally put something in the dustbin today, needed it before bed (11:30) I told my husband who told me to go get it. It’s pitch black, almost midnight and the bin is at the end of the drive.

Would your husband ask you to go retrieve the item or would he go get it?

It does seem to be a thing but I just find it so confusing. Where do these people live? Do I just not know any cos they’re never out?

I'm not sure the husbands are the useless lazy pigs..

Learned helplessness isn't funny, or clever.

I read it as the husbands being gentlemen and the husbands are married to women who are "useless lazy pigs" according to @MrsMammy. MN has gone a bit women hating.

Learned helplessness is a massive problem.

I think Chihuahuas are kind of jerks. I think they're happy to attack people.

No. He would get it.

There definitely is a canine equivalent of small man syndrome.

I’m sure it’s the husbands who are useless lazy pigs - the ones who are not “gentlemen”..

I read it as men have to do these jobs because women are useless and need a man to do it for them

Sure personally I am just as capable as any man but it appears not all women chose to be

I'm with you @Clarabell77 and the ones of us that are capable are jealous of their"gentlemen"!

@StormingNorman OP asked a question about spouses willingness to do things for each other.
I mentioned that A lot of the comments were really bitchy.
You then launched in to your precious little tirade, telling me that the question "Would your spouse do this for you" has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not a person's spouse would do this for them (thank fcuk you were here to tell OP what she really meant, can't have these silly little girls thinking for themselves, right Norm? Norm?) and is actually a sign that OP has violently sent equality back to the days when women couldn't vote - which you think is my fault, somehow.

Good effort, you little suffragette you!

@Mothership4two I'm equally as curious as to where you found all these helpful, kind and supportive comments, what part of my very, very simple comment made it entirely above your reading level, or why you think "hey, can you do me a favour please" is inequality and oppression.. we've all got our crosses to bear though, right?

@DinaofCloud9 So, I politely and calmly express my opinion about a matter on a public discussion forum where people come to freely express their opinions on a matter. The opinion I express is that a lot of users here are being nasty and spiteful when there's absolutely no reason for it.

You then come along and completely unprovoked you start swearing at me and making personal attacks on me - attacks entirely unrelated to what my opinion is, but because I had the gall to express my opinion at all, when you think I shouldn't be allowed to even have an opinion.

You're right Dino - I'm the one with a problem here. Also irony doesn't exist...

Pt 2 to follow...

Much better, did you get your wife to proof read it this time?

Now off you pop to work, no one is interested in you or your 1950s attitude as you can see.

Only the incapable agreed with you.

Little bit of advice, don't try to police a predominantly female board, it won't end well.

👋

I'm not sure it was politely and calmly, it was more a sort of angry rage, typing complete nonsense, but it was very entertaining and gave lots of opportunity to ridicule you.

"Politely and calmly"

@StormingNorman @Mothership4two @DinaofCloud9

There is going to be part 2 from @Frogpole

I've got the 🍿, if you want to share?

It’s 2024, cop on. What about people living on their own? How do they distribute the nice/icky jobs? They don’t, you just get on with it.

I wrote that earlier.
Please read.

Love the use of suffragette in a patronising tone. Does rather support my theory that men who think they need to do these jobs for their poor little woman do actually have a subconscious element of misogyny.

I’m sure you’re aware that this is a discussion forum. Discussions evolve. By far the most thought provoking aspect of the OP’s post is that she needs her husband to do a simple task for her because she’s a woman. I wasn’t telling OP what to think, I was have a free flowing discussion. It’s not a Q&A.

If he’s going to respond to everyone who took up with his post there’s going to be multiple parts to follow 🤣

It's because people often don't train small dogs properly. They don't think it's as important as training a big dog.

So a woman makes a mistake, doesn't want to rectify it so expects her husband to do it and he's the lazy pig?

But he's a gentleman not a lalzy pig and he does the icky jobs so us poor fragile women need him to put us right.

To be honest, I'm pretty useless and helpless so I am happy with my husband doing certain jobs like the composter, ugh. Though obviously I do it when he's away. It never occurred to me to be frightened to go to the end of my driveway though.

@bananaramaterry What I need you to do is go back to my comment and copy/paste the parts that you think sound like I'm cross, then use your words to tell me which parts confused you. I can see the parts where I'm being flippant, or sarcastic, or used quirky little analogies. I can see the part where I've politely and calmly shared my experience on the subject at hand, just like all the other users have done. What I am unable to see however, is anything even remotely connected with the calumnious, misandric, hateful, bigoted attacks you're trying so so very hard to make against me. Let's have a look, with our eyes, and see what's there in black and white for the world to see shall we?

At 11:23 you made an eloquent and well thought out post with lots of funny faces with this bizarre belief that I'm in a so called "uncontrollable rage".

At 11:28, barely five minutes later, you make another post about me, where you calmly and reasonably explain the utter disgust and contempt you have for me simply because I've got a cock and a beard, which in your mind means I should be sent to the showers with a loofah and a fresh tin of Zyklon-B. You go on to level headedly explain to all the other forum users how I'm oppressing 51% of the global population by joining in with a conversation.

At 11:29, less than sixty seconds after your previous misandric tirade, you demonstrate your emotional stability once more by posting about me yet again. For the third time in less than six minutes. With another helpful reminder about my unrageable control, or whatever you're chirpsing on about.

11:38 and again. Your behaviour is now reaching the point where I'm concerned about the threat you pose to my family. These aren't the only posts you've made against me, and this isn't the only thread you've made them on. Imagine how you'd react if a man was showing this obsessive stalking behaviour towards you, making a dozen increasingly desperate posts about you trying to get your attention even though you hadn't replied to a single one - would you be ok with that, just not say anything and act like it's nothing?

But yeah, I'm the one seething with rage, right?

You are so funny, with far too much time on yours hands.

But you've again managed to write without bizarre and hilarious errors. So top of the class for you and a 🥇!

Good boy, keep it up.

@Iwasafool silly little me, I should know my place and not answer the man lord back!
