sex, continued…
ha ha. that got your attention, now, didn’t it? you naughty readers…
i decided that i want to continue posting about women being the stronger sex (in my opinion) based on the following comment that i received from one of my fave dad-bloggers, jason, of outnumbered…
“You see the thing is that we like being lame. We embrace being lazy. Before our wives came along, we were able to cook our own food, clean our own apartments, follow directions, read a map, socialize like human beings, laugh, act silly, dress ourselves and do a whole slew of things. Back then, nobody told us we were wrong or called us idiots. We just got shit done and you know what? It worked! We survived! You know what else? You found us, picked us out from the crowd and married us because you liked how we acted. How quickly one forgets. But now, everything we do is completely and utterly fucked up. Not because it’s wrong but because it’s not how YOU do it. So like a dog that is kicked one too many times, we just stop doing it. It’s much easier to get yelled at for not doing anything than it is to drag our fat asses off the couch and waste our time only to be told it’s not good enough. That’s my rant. Now… lets talk about how HOT chicks are when they get all pissed off. All this talk about chicks going gay etc… is making me crazy. Great post sista! I still love your blog…”
here’s what pisses me off, jason (since you wanna “talk about how HOT chicks are when they get all pissed off)… you (men) like being lame?!? really?!? you embrace being lazy?!?
WHY????
what’s there to like about that? do you have any idea how not hot it is for a woman to see a lame ass, lazy man? ugh! and frustrating… gawd!!! how did you get anything done, like you mentioned, if you were a lame and lazy man? and when were “those days” that you mention… when you were in middle school? when your mama did everything for you?
speaking for myself, i married my hub for a number of reasons… one of which being that he looks hot in uniform. we’ve been together since high school, where we both attended a catholic high school, which included us wearing uniforms (that he looked hot in), and he’s a pilot in the navy now, which comes with a uniform. hot. ultra hot. married. done. hotness.
no where in there do i see lame or laziness… maybe it’s just me. i see assertiveness, respect, pride, diligence. again, h-o-t.
i do however, see the point you make when you say that “everything we do is completely and utterly fucked up. not because it’s wrong but because it’s not how YOU do it.” i hear that. i’m guilty of that. (((slap on wrist)))
ultimately, i’m getting the sense that this is a double-edge sword we play with each other (and yes, i’m using “sword” to emphasize the phallic)… i’m seeing more and more (what i consider to be) weak men and not liking it. so what do we women do with that, my outnumbered friend? just accept you for being the “lame” and “lazy” couch potatoes that some of you are?
unacceptable. unacceptable to me, as a woman… and my hope that it would be unacceptable to men as well, but maybe that’s where i am wrong.
***UPDATE*** let it be known, hub and i just arm wrestled tonight for the helluvit. it was awesome! i lost 3 rounds, of course…. but i put up a fight that i know my biceps will feel in the morning. i love having a hub who supports me and my “work.” give me a MAN any day, and leave the lazy ass at home in front of the TV.

I think you missed the point in Jason’s comment. He tells you WHY???? right there – because it’s easier to do nothing and get yelled at than to do something and get yelled at. Nothing is easier than something, and if the results are the same, why do the harder thing? And we’re already married, so we don’t care if our wives think we’re hot.
None of which I actually agree with, by the way.
I’m still puzzled by the source of your vitriol for Lazy Man. The men I know are working damn hard to try and make their lives work, and keep their families going, and do it with some dignity. Maybe I just don’t know the men you’re talking about. Or maybe I still don’t see what you see. I guess most of all whatever it is you see I’m not guilty of and just totally blind to. Because that would suck.
ah, my wonderful badassdad… i adore you and i’m so glad for your input. i guess you’re right. he said WHY, and i just don’t like the answer that “nothing is easier than something” because to me that shows weakness. it shows me that we aren’t worth fighting for… the universal “we”… not just women, but children, jobs, whatever.
i think you’re puzzled because you don’t see the source of my angst. the source is a collection of men i have noticed… (dare i even reference jon and kate plus
that are “going through the motions,” and are “there” in the physical sense, but not truly, mentally, emotionally “there” whether it’s at work or at home. as a collective whole, i have taken note of this and that is the source of my vitriol (great word by the way) for the lazy man.
continue the convo… and if you’re “blind to it,” then more power to ya… kinda wish i was…

This post is ridiculous. Quit being so angry.
Men like women for being WOMEN…….. If they wanted a man, they’d marry one.
Be a real woman and stop trying to act like a man.
It’s very un-ladylike….
this post is great!!! it’s causing drama and fabulous conversation!!!! keep it coming!!! and thank you!!!
Glad I could make your day. Battle of the Blogs is the oldest trick in the book. Great idea…. Hope you guys get more followers/controversy. Good luck!
gena- thanks!
Hi Nic,
Great post. This is my response:

Thanks for the inspiration and I hope to see you in the Steely Dad Nation soon.
Cheers!
Amazing post. I was really laughing my ass off.
All I can say is AMEN SISTA! Everything you stated is true, and you are very lucky to have a hubby like you do. I, on the other hand, have a significant other that tends to teeter to the other end of the spectrum now and again, which is one of the reasons I don’t see myself calling him hubby in the near future. lol
Keep posting. I’m loving every minute of it. (also adding you to my blog roll)
Also, thanks for your very kind comments on my blog.

Friends making friends. Life is good!
You all are a riot!! LMDAO…but the real point is this: there are all sorts of people in the world, most of which..uummmmmm…truly inexplicable! Ladies, we know that lazy ass, trifling men exist. So, if you don’t want to be bothered with them, then DON’T! http://www.oozechatterdoll.biz
