womyn are tools?

i work at a small verison of a zellers or walmart called Giant Tiger, while ringing a customer through I clearly heard his conversation with a woman near him. i didn't catch the lead up to this conversation but here i what i heard


Womyn: "I always do what I'm told"

Man: " I wish my wife would always do what she is told."


BAAAAAHHH, I ALMOST ERRUPTED OUT OF MY SKIN. "do what she is told?" fuck you buddy. womyn are not objects, we are not to be dominated, you cannot own a womyn, you cannot own a human being. i had to control myself, for the sake of my job, not to say anything.

I was told that maybe he was joking... becuase you know it's not like womyn get dominated every day and become victims of abuse from their partners. idiots.

womyn are tools? fuck no!

 

What about men? We're expected to be nothing more than pack horses. Going to work - working to pay the bills, then coming home and working, working the weekends, etc.

 

oh yes i definately think men are suppose to be the football freaks, womanizing, beer drinking, truck driving "men."

and when i say suppose to be, i mean by soceties standards, or the media. not mine.

i was made this comment becuase it was a recent experience about the domination of womyn that needs to be stopped.uwrycunhtOI

 

Well, let me know when you also oppose enforced paternity, paternity fraud, the draft, Selective Service, and the notion men are expected to provide.

 

No, Nobody should be owned. But we all have certain responsibilities, especially when we have kids. Somebody has got to provide, the other one has to care. If everyone would do his/her job, and if the other one appreciates it, nobody is owned, nobody has to be told what to do.

 

So let me guess. The man doing everything the woman wants/tells him is not him owning her, it's something sensible.

I wonder how much bovine excrement would hit the motorized air-moving device if ever a man's magazine did a story on how to control and manipulate women, whereas Cosmo and other women's magazines do the inverse month after month after month...

 

ugh cosmo, what a worthless magazine

 

lol. this is a really funny thread. woman says she thinks it sucks when men want women to just do as their told (like good little robots), men respond with "he just wants her to do what she's told because he does everything." a total lack of any communication or subtlety, such as: does this wife ALSO bust her ass outside of the home for just as many hours as he does and therefore expects to have equal say? how about the wife who stays home busting her ass with house and raising daddy's little tributes to his nut sac and therefore expects to be treated as an equal partner?

my husband is definitely the leader in this home, because our relationship naturally fell along those lines. but he would never dream of ordering me around, he respects my role in this family as well. just because he's the one with the paycheck doesn't mean i have no power. i quit working because he wanted me home to raise his children. do you have any idea what a sacrifice that is? what is does to your head?

 

It's wrong to mistreat people. There are different ways society mistreats different people. We are talking about mistreatment of women because this is a Women's Issues forum.

 

For sure. You're extremely mistreated.

Just trying to balance things out - just as how in the men's forum womynn do the same.

 

You're not balancing things out, you're trying to pick a fight! Or at least that's certainly the way it's coming across.

 

Women are not slaves meant to be ordered around by men. I would have wanted to ream into that guy too.

Although my husband works outside of the home and I stay at home with our kids, I feel that we both have an equal balance of "power" in our relationship. We have a mutual respect for one another and what we do from day to day to make things work for our family. He has never ordered me around, or treated me as though I were beneath him because I am a woman. His mother is to thank for that. She brought him up well.

 

RE: I feel that we both have an equal balance of "power" in our relationship.

You tell him what to do, he does it.
He suggests what to do, you tell him why he's wrong, he does what you say.

 

Hey. I, at the moment, work two jobs while my husband stays home with the girls during the day and goes to school at night.


Neither one of us feel more powerful than the other, or in more control than the other. We work TOGETHER. We don't tell each other what to do.

And, IronGoth, you've totally twisted and fabricated what hippychickmommy said. Some woman are mistreated and made to feel like slaves that need to "do what they are told." Some men are made to feel that way, too. But, don't make it out to seem like all women want all men to work and give them their money and do exactly what we tell them to. That, is horse shit, and you know it.

Wow. That sig is priceless given the context.

And no, that isn't crap.

An interesting poll in the UK - many women would love to be stay at home mothers - so long as there was a nanny for child care and a maid for the housework as in - they'd be home, taken care of and "fabulous".

 

Hmmm, my sig is a quote from one of my favorite songs. Doesn't have really anything to do with my statement. And, yes, I would love to be able to stay home with my kids-so I can be with them all the time and get my damn house clean for a change! I sure as hell wouldn't want someone else taking care of my kids or touching my things! I became a mother. I take responsibility for my children. They aren't in daycare-nor do I have a "nanny".

 

You are in the minority with your attitude. Just so you know.

You might be a level-headed, non game-playing, loves men for who they are, equally minded woman. But you're one in fifteen million.

So don't expect me to come looking for another one like you.

 

Well, just so you know, I believe that most of the other women I know that post on here are also "level-headed, non game-playing, loves men for who they are, equally minded woman."

Why don't you get to know us while you're here, instead of spouting off generalizations?

 

Why would I get to know you? In my experience you do very well convincing people otherwise til the relationship is established at which point you do the very same thing all other women do.

 

Well, whatever then. I'm not saying you have to marry anyone. Just understand that not all women are like you think they are. But, I can't change your mind, nor do I care to try to. Have a great life!
