Long before the film was made, I was talking to a female colleague one day and she said that it would be wonderful if women could take a man out of a box when they needed one and put him back in it when they didn't.Originally Posted by Scheherazade
I told her it was strange that she should say that because that is exactly the way men feel about women but that women would probably spend more time in the box than men.
Well, there are such "women", you know.

That is tragic about those women being like that.
I'm no avid femenist and can joke around about some stuff, but the beating thing and the women expecting it is insane.
Honestly, guys, would you even want to be with a woman like that? One who expects you to be her master and who is that insecure? That sounds like that would be an unhappy union on both ends. If I ever had a guy that insecure or clingy or overly dependent, I would be out of that situation in a heartbeat. That's not to say there's anything wrong with cooking, keeping house, and doing nice things for my daughter's dad. I enjoy doing that and I know a lot of other women who enjoy that as well. But the expecting and wanting to be beaten thing...whoa. Sounds like trouble...
I wouldn't and i don't think it's all that common. We are not talking about women who tend to choose abusive men. Whatever is going on there, they are not looking forward to abuse. I have never met any woman that wanted to be beat for, for what the pleasure of it? Are we talking about S&M here? I don't know of any and I wouldn't want to have a relationship like that.

So I have heard but, apparently, they wear out a lot quicker than the genuine article.
This was in reference to the posts about the Stepford wives. I don't necissarily mean with the woman getting beaten, although *points up to one of Brian's posts about a former acquantance of his* was part of the question. I mean more like with the traditional subservient "woman" role with the man being the "master" of the house. cooking and cleaning is one thing, but living your life solely to please another? I think that novelty would wear off quickly for your average man.
I would agree. There is a certain amount of submission that needs to go both ways...but isn't that true for any friendship/relationship? If two people live in the same house, you have to do things for each other, or else there will be strife...even mere roommates need to keep the other in mind.

Nothing like a spot of wife-beating to get the subject on track!
Now, I'll put a link to this in, because it's relevant in terms of discrimination and people's attitudes towards it. There are 100 warnings before you can view it, but is a public service ad, and there's not even any bad language - I can't get my head around why there are any warnings at all.

And I've finally got a bit of time to make a few comments.
Busy taking over Australia, doncherknow.
Ity doesn't start out that way, as biblical reasons are [of course] used as the basis for it all, but I found it fascinating that it did become fetish-like for the women while the men ended up seeing it as a chore.I bet it is a fetish really.
Sounds similar, but it'll be a different group; the one I sneaked into was ultra-cautious about publicity and wouldn't have appeared anywhere in the media. In the end, that's how they found out who I really was - I'd started writing about it and they twigged that I was not their friend.Not so low, one of the couples was on TV, a couple of years a go. Channel 4 or Five documentray. About western marriages where women stay home do all the house work and still run around pamering the men . Because and I quote ( not this bit but just to say God bless semi photographic memories)
" A man should be master of his own home. I used to think the way you peobably do, but I have learnt better. Sometimes its like having 4 babies, but a man desreves to be come home and not have to do anything."
Only if you marry the wrong woman.
The wrong woman, which is the one that almost all blokes on the planet are married to, is the one who needs to be the boss herself, who doesn't understand the meaning of the word "partnership". Mind you, almost no blokes do either, so it keeps the divorce lawyers in work.
Ah, but we are.What beats me, however, is why aren't we masters in our own thread?
The women are here at our forebearance, because being good, hardworking men we can just pack up our club and walk away.
There's no greeater mastery than that.
I'll have Parker bring you a Horlicks.
I think we need to devise a suitability test for humans. Even birds manage to keep lifelong partners quite happily, and they're dumber than dirt.
Big deal; you just get a new one. Look at Hugh Hefner, he's had a lot of boxes through his place, so I hear.
Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

Maybe that is why.
